Riverdance Live In Abu Dhabi – Etihad Arena, Abu Dhabi Island and Internal Islands City

About this event

Riverdance 30 - The New Generation is the 30th-anniversary touring edition of Riverdance. The Abu Dhabi engagement is presented by Live Nation Middle East at Etihad Arena on 31 October and 1 November 2026. The production combines Irish and international dance and music, with live musicians and vocalists. The anniversary edition retains established choreography from the original production while introducing updated staging, lighting, and projections. Official event descriptions also specify refreshed costumes and motion graphics. These elements form a revised stage presentation rather than a new musical program. Bill Whelan is credited as composer, Moya Doherty as producer, and John McColgan as director. The production company behind the global tour is Abhann Productions. No Abu Dhabi-specific individual cast list, costume designer, lighting designer, or stage designer is published in the event sources.
