Riverdance 30th Anniversary at Segerstrom

Riverdance 30th Anniversary: The Heartbeat of Ireland Returns

Since its debut, Riverdance has enchanted audiences across the globe with its mesmerizing fusion of traditional Irish dance, contemporary movement, and exhilarating music. What began as a seven-minute performance during the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest has grown into a cultural phenomenon that has thrilled millions across six continents. Its Grammy Award-winning score by Bill Whelan, breathtaking choreography, and the unmistakable rhythm of its synchronized footwork have become symbols of Irish artistry and pride.

Now, to mark an extraordinary 30 years, Riverdance embarks on the Riverdance 30 – The New Generation world tour, breathing new life into the iconic production. Audiences will experience refreshed choreography and striking new costumes, as well as state-of-the-art lighting, projection, and motion graphics that elevate the performance to dazzling new heights.

This production features an entirely new generation of performers—talented artists who were not yet born when Riverdance first took the world by storm. Director John McColgan reflects, “It is both a privilege and a delight to celebrate 30 years of Riverdance and the unique journey it has taken us on. In those 30 years the show has transformed from a spectacle into a global cultural phenomenon – continuously evolving yet remaining true to its Irish roots. On this upcoming tour we look forward to welcoming ‘The New Generation’ of artists while paying tribute to the talented performers, creators, dedicated crew, and the millions of fans who have made Riverdance a worldwide celebration of music and dance.”

This anniversary tour promises an exhilarating blend of tradition and innovation that showcases the passion, precision, and artistry of its world-class dancers, musicians, and singers.

Note: Saturday matinee begins at 2:00 PM and Sunday matinee begins at 1:00 PM.
