André Rieu

André Rieu is coming back to the UK and Ireland in 2025! The King of Waltz will be returning with his 60-member Johann Strauss Orchestra and many international soloists to dazzle the audience with a spectacular and memorable concert celebrating 200 years of Johann Strauss. Catch André Rieu in action as he performs in May 2025 in Birmingham.

With over 40 million albums sold, more than 500 platinum awards, nearly 10 million Facebook followers, billions of views on YouTube and more than half a million spectators worldwide annually, the charismatic Dutch violinist is undoubtedly one of the most accomplished live acts in the world. Thus, the previous tour across the UK and Ireland attracted over 100.000 spectators and was roaring success.

In 2025, the audience can once again look forward to a vibrant and cheerful programme: The repertoire ranges from the most beautiful and popular songs from opera, musicals, operettas, film scores to the most romantic ballads and of course the most gorgeous and celebrated waltzes.

André Rieu's incomparable concerts are not only known for the captivating music, but also for his humorous showmanship, elaborate costumes, opulent stage decorations and marvellous lighting effects, which enchant people of all ages and backgrounds. Each concert is an unrivalled spectacle that you simply have to experience to understand the sheer fascination and power of his music.
