Britain’s most celebrated dance group, Diversity, is set to embark on a major UK and Ireland tour in 2026, bringing their brand-new show, SOUL, to audiences across 31 towns and cities. Oxford fans can catch the unmissable spectacle when Diversity performs at the New Theatre Oxford on Saturday 21st March and Sunday 22nd March 2026.
The tour, which explores the evolution of artificial intelligence and what it truly means to be human in the digital age, will see Diversity perform over 60 electrifying shows between February and May 2026. Tickets go on sale on Friday, 28th February at 9:3am.
Diversity’s Biggest Tour Yet
Following their phenomenal success since winning Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, Diversity has continued to push creative boundaries in dance, storytelling, and live performance. Their latest concept tour, SOUL, delves into the fusion of humanity and technology, questioning our relationship with artificial intelligence and the future of evolution.
With matinee and evening performances scheduled throughout the spring half-term and Easter holidays, the tour offers a perfect family-friendly experience filled with mind-blowing choreography, stunning visuals, and the signature Diversity energy.
Ashley Banjo, founder and creative force behind Diversity, said:
“We are so excited to announce the SOUL tour for 2026! 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 audiences across the UK and Ireland. Get ready for something special!”
Supporting Communities: Diversity x The Trussell Trust
As part of their ongoing commitment to giving back, Diversity has once again partnered with The Trussell Trust, a leading anti-poverty charity providing emergency food and support across the UK. Fans purchasing tickets can opt-in to donate £1 per transaction to support the charity’s vital work in helping communities in need.

Diversity’s Ongoing Legacy
Beyond their live performances, Diversity continues to inspire through Diversity Studio, their own dance school offering in-person and live-streamed dance classes led by core members of the group. Following the success of their first studio in Essex, Diversity is set to open a second studio in Birmingham this April, expanding their reach and influence in the UK dance scene.
