Diversity are set to take to the road on a major new tour of the UK and Ireland in Spring 2026, it has been announced today.

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.
