Gaelforce Dance, the phenomenal Irish dance show is finally coming to Malta for the very first time this December.

The spectacular show will be held at Valletta's Mediterranean Conference Centre on 7 and 8 December, offering Maltese audiences a chance to experience the magic of Irish dance at its finest.

Hailed as a celebration of Irish dance, music and song, Gaelforce Dance has enchanted audiences worldwide since 1999, enjoying tremendous success on a global scale performing in over 30 countries across four continents, playing to over 2 million people.

Touted as "the Ferrari of the Irish dance world", this award-winning show is renowned for its high-energy performances, intricate choreography, thundering rhythms and compelling storytelling.

The story follows two lovers, Lorcan and Aisling, whose passionate yet forbidden romance sets the stage for a tale of broken loyalties, jealousy and eventual reconciliation. With a backdrop of enchanting melodies blending traditional and contemporary Irish music, Gaelforce Dance promises an immersive, theatrical experience that will stir emotions and leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

2024 marks a new chapter for the production, featuring fresh choreography, dazzling costumes and electrifying music. Choreographer Richard Griffin, who describes the show as "a challenging yet irreplaceable experience for both performers and viewers", notes that Gaelforce Dance stands apart from other Irish dance shows for its sharp, theatrical edge.

Critics have consistently hailed the production as a must-see. The Evening Herald in Ireland described it as "unmissable" while The Guardian in England praised its ability to bring audiences to their feet. With standing ovations at every show and sold-out performances in venues across the globe, Gaelforce Dance's arrival in Malta is set to be a major cultural highlight this December.
