Breakin’ Convention, the world-renowned festival of hip hop dance theatre, has announced its 2026 UK tour, running from Saturday 9 May to Saturday 6 June.
Curated by Breakin’ Convention Artistic Director and Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Jonzi D, the tour will bring an electrifying mix of international acts, local talent, DJs, graffiti artists and freestyle sessions to venues across the UK.
The lineup includes the Olivier Award-winning TRAPLORD, created by acclaimed choreographer Ivan Blackstock. This groundbreaking work explores masculinity and mental health through a powerful fusion of movement and storytelling.
Audiences can also look forward to performances by Los Angeles-based trio Femme Fatale, celebrated for their stylish musicality and razor-sharp moves, and ILL-Abilities, the trailblazing crew of differently abled b-boys from the Netherlands and Brazil.
Jonzi D said:
“Our latest UK tour features new venues, award winning conceptual work, an international popping trio and the most unique breakers in the world. We never stop breakin’ convention!”
The tour visits major venues including The Marlowe, Canterbury (9 May), Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham (15 & 16 May), Belgrade Theatre, Coventry (20 May), Tramway, Glasgow (23 May), Brighton Dome (27 May), Lighthouse, Poole (30 May), CAST, Doncaster (3 June) and The Grand, Blackpool (6 June).
The UK tour follows Breakin’ Convention 2026, the world’s biggest hip hop theatre festival, taking over Sadler’s Wells in London from Friday 1 to Monday 4 May.
