_OVERVIEW:

Diversity is set to take to the road on a major new tour of the UK and Ireland in spring 2026.

The UK’s most successful dance group will bring their new concept tour SOUL to 31 towns and cities, performing over 60 dates between February and May 2026, including an exciting five-show residency at the Cliffs Pavilion in Diversity’s hometown Southend.

The 2026 tour is based around the technological advancements of artificial intelligence, what the future holds, and what it truly means to be human within the digital age. With matinee and evening shows across the spring half term and Easter holidays, there are plenty of opportunities for all the family to join in with the excitement.
 

The future is now. Humans have become plugged in and completely connected to a world full of Artificial Intelligence – A world in which it is hard to distinguish reality from fiction. AI has become so advanced it’s considered a life form of its very own.

Is this the next stage in our evolution? What exactly have we created? What makes us human?

...SOUL.

Diversity rose to stardom after winning the third series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. Since then, the dynamic dance group has gone on to sell out multiple tours across the UK and Ireland, perform to the masses with countless television and live shows, receive the award for Virgin Media’s ‘Must see Moment of 2020’ at the British Academy Television Awards, and launch dance space Diversity Studio in 2023 based in its native Essex.

Diversity have once again partnered with anti-poverty charity The Trussell Trust who work to provide emergency food and support to those locked in poverty while campaigning for change to end the need for food banks in the UK.  Upon ticket purchase, fans can opt in to add a £1 donation to the charity per transaction. For more information go to www.trusselltrust.org.

The members of Diversity continue to excel in their careers outside the dance group as well.

Diversity continues to elevate and push the boundaries of innovation, and its storytelling is unparalleled, with each performance providing a captivating narrative filled with energy, emotion and raw talent. Be sure to get your tickets now for an unforgettable night of storytelling and dance. Ashley Banjo said:

"We are so excited to announce the Soul tour for 2026!  It's a privilege to be able to share our passion for dance and performance with audiences across the UK and Ireland.  Since the beginning, Diversity has been about celebrating individuality and the power of storytelling, and the Soul tour will be no different. We can't wait to create some unforgettable moments and connect with everyone.  Get ready for something special!"
