Celebrating 30 Years of Wowing Audiences Worldwide, RIVERDANCE Returns to Midland Center

Midland Center for the Arts and Abhann Productions are pleased to announce that single tickets for RIVERDANCE 30 - THE NEW GENERATION, the international Irish dance phenomenon seen by more than 30 million people worldwide, will go on sale Friday, Aug. 28 at 10 a.m. for five performances Feb. 26 - 28, 2027.
 

RIVERDANCE 30 - THE NEW GENERATION rejuvenates the much-loved original show with innovative new choreography and costumes, along with state-of-the-art lighting, projection and motion graphics. For the first time, RIVERDANCE welcomes “The New Generation” of performers, all of whom were not born when the show began 30 years ago.

 

John McColgan, Director of RIVERDANCE, said, “For over 30 years, Riverdance has taken us on a unique and exhilarating journey with the love and support of our audiences. The show has developed from a stage spectacle into a global cultural phenomenon. It has continuously evolved, yet we ensure it always remains true to its roots. The 30th Anniversary showcases our ‘New Generation’ of extraordinarily 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.”

 

Audiences will enjoy a unique and memorable performance that blends the traditional and contemporary, showcasing the skill and passion of the world-class dancers, musicians and singers in the RIVERDANCE ensemble.

 

RIVERDANCE 30 - THE NEW GENERATION initially launched in 2024 with a special performance in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, seen by more than 31 million people. The appearance marked the first return of RIVERDANCE to North America following the successful three-year 25th Anniversary Show.

 

RIVERDANCE 30 - THE NEW GENERATION will perform five shows at Midland Center for the Arts from Feb. 26 - 28, 2027. Single tickets go on sale Friday, Aug. 28 at 10 a.m. Secure your tickets online at midlandcenter.org/riverdance, by calling 989-631-8250 or by visiting the Ticket Office.
