Get ready to experience dance like never before—Diversity, the UK’s unrivaled dance sensation, is hitting the road in spring 2026 with their bold new show, Soul. This ambitious tour will light up 31 towns and cities with over 60 performances from February to May, including a special five-show homecoming at Southend’s Cliffs Pavilion. Fans across the UK and Ireland are in for a treat, and tickets are just around the corner!
A Dance Journey into the Future
Soul isn’t just a performance—it’s a story. Built around the rise of artificial intelligence, the tour dives deep into what it means to be human in a digital world. Imagine a future where AI blurs the line between reality and fiction, evolving into a life form of its own. “Is this our next step? What have we unleashed?” the show asks, promising a mix of jaw-dropping choreography and emotional storytelling that’s become Diversity’s hallmark. With matinee and evening shows timed for spring half-term and Easter holidays, it’s a family-friendly spectacle you won’t want to miss.
Mark your calendars: tickets drop Friday, February 28, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. Grab yours for UK dates here, Ireland via www.ticketmaster.ie, or splurge on VIP packages at www.sjm-vip.com.
From Britain’s Got Talent to a Decade of Dance
Since storming to victory on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, Diversity has redefined street dance. They’ve packed out tours, dazzled on TV, and even snagged Virgin Media’s ‘Must See Moment of 2020’ at the British Academy Television Awards. In 2023, they opened Diversity Studio in Essex, offering in-person and online classes led by the crew—a hit that’s now expanding with a second location in Birmingham this April (details at www.diversitystudio.co.uk). Catch their electric 2023 BGT comeback here.
Leader Ashley Banjo, honored with an MBE in 2023 for his dance dedication, sums it up: “We’re buzzing to bring Soul to life in 2026. Sharing our love for dance and stories with you all is a privilege. This tour celebrates what makes us unique—and it’s going to be epic.”
Beyond the Stage
Diversity’s impact stretches far. Ashley juggles choreography with judging on ITV’s Dancing on Ice and hosting acclaimed shows like The Real Full Monty. Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely wake up the nation on KISS Breakfast, while Jordan’s hosted gigs like BBC’s The Greatest Dancer. The group’s also teamed up again with The Trussell Trust, fighting poverty with an optional £1 donation per ticket—learn more at www.trusselltrust.org.
