Direct from Off-Broadway and London’s West End, the internationally acclaimed A Taste of Ireland Company returns with its flagship production - A Taste of Ireland — The Irish Music & Dance Sensation’ touring Australia in 2026.

Laugh, cry, and jig into the night with a production that is Celtic, for this generation. Performed by former World Irish dance champions, and featuring dancers from Lord of the Dance, Riverdance, and the recent West End cast of Éireann, A Taste of Ireland brings the spirit and energy of modern Ireland to life with a pint of Irish wit. Watch world-class performers blend melodic folk mash-ups, live jaw-dropping acapella tap battles, and heartfelt storytelling in a live celebration of Irish music and dance.

Featuring revamped classics of Danny Boy, Tell Me Ma, Wild Rover, and many more well-known songs, the show’s reimagined contemporary score blossoms alongside the brash Irish charm of the live dance cast. A Taste of Ireland merges cultural traditions, modern flair, and craic galore to deliver a performance that has been leaving audiences across the globe jigging on their feet for the last decade. With a social media following of over 200,000, A Taste of Ireland is exactly what it promises: a taste of everything you love about Ireland — with a generous helping of more.

A Taste of Ireland is a show with 100% live singing and dancing that fuses storytelling, modern Irish dance, tap, and contemporary performance to bring Ireland’s stories to life on stage. With a strictly limited Australian run, see A Taste of Ireland in 2026 for limited performances before it takes off around the globe once again. ‘Witness the birth of a nation told through rhythm and beat, with the cry of the Vikings as they were brought to defeat, the rise and fall of the rebellion the show tells the tale, trapped were the Irish, watch them dance from the jail. For the nation fought free from Dundalk to Tralee, they sing and they dance through the night full of glee. For Ireland, there was not a nation quite like her, hold on to your seat, feel Ireland’s passion and fire.’
