RIOT Returns: Our Joyful Revolution Comes Home to Vicar Street
We’re coming home.
After a whirlwind UK tour with WAKE—from standing ovations in London’s West End to electric nights in Manchester—our OG smash-hit RIOT is making its long-awaited return to Dublin. And not just anywhere… we’re bringing it back to the iconic Vicar Street for four explosive nights only: July 17–20, 2025.
RIOT is where it all began for us. It’s the show that broke the rules, won hearts, and sparked a movement. Part variety show, part political awakening, and full-throttle spectacle, RIOT is a wild mash-up of cabaret, circus, spoken word, and raw theatrical power. It’s a joyful, glitter-drenched call to arms—and we are beyond thrilled to bring it back.
We’ve reunited an all-star lineup for this moment:
✨ Panti Bliss (our Queen of Ireland)
🔥 Emmet Kirwan (Dublin Oldschool, Accents)
💥 Up & Over It, Lords of Strut, and our powerhouse Sirens: Alma Kelliher, Nicola Kavanagh, and Adam Matthews
🎪 Plus aerial superstar Omar Cortez Gonzales straight from Cirque du Soleil
Directed by our co-founders Jennifer Jennings and Phillip McMahon, with design by Niall Sweeney, costumes by James Seaver, and lights by Mark Galione, RIOT is set to explode with even more colour, chaos and heart than ever before.
This isn’t just a comeback—it’s a celebration. A love letter to community, identity, resistance, and radical joy. Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or are just discovering what RIOT is all about, we promise: this is the night out you’ve been waiting for.
