The international Irish dance phenomenon Riverdance has announced that Riverdance 30 – The New Generation, its acclaimed 30th-anniversary production, will tour South Africa in April 2027.
Presented by Big Concerts in association with KFM 94.5 and HOT 102.7, the global sensation will head to the Sunbet Arena at Time Square in Pretoria and the Grand Arena at GrandWest in Cape Town.
Riverdance 30 – The New Generation rejuvenates the beloved original show with innovative choreography, new costumes, and state-of-the-art lighting, projection, and motion graphics.
For the first time, the production welcomes a new generation of performers, none of whom were even born when the show first began 30 years ago.
Riverdance is a Global Cultural Phenomenon
Since Riverdance first emerged onto the world stage, its fusion of Irish and international dance and music has captured the hearts of over 31 million people worldwide.
Featuring Grammy-winning music and mesmerizing choreography, the anniversary tour honors the show’s rich history while pushing it forward.
As Director John McColgan shares, “For over 30 years, Riverdance has taken us on a unique and exhilarating journey… The 30th Anniversary showcases our ‘New Generation’ of extraordinary talented performers with their electrifying energy, passion and skill in their traditions and their music and dance. Fresh, exciting and with all the magic and spectacle of the original, this is Riverdance better than ever before.”
