Riverdance in Leicester: 'Global phenomenon' announces 30th anniversary tour
The Riverdance troupe, which “has transformed from a spectacle into a global cultural phenomenon”, has announced it will tour 30 UK venues - including Leicester's De Montfort Hall - next year to celebrate a milestone anniversary. The group, which has its roots in Irish dancing, rose to become a headline act after being featured during the interval of the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin.
