The Greatest 80s Show at Theatre Royal Waterford

What to Expect

The Greatest 80s Show comes back to Theatre Royal Waterford on Saturday 26 September 2026, and the venue is billing this run as bigger and bolder than previous visits, with brand new songs and additional set pieces worked into the production. It is an interactive show built for singing and dancing along rather than a straight seated concert, and the 1980s repertoire is treated as a broad sweep rather than tribute to any single act.

The individual performer lineup and the song list are not published in advance, which is standard for this kind of touring production where the running order shifts between dates. What the theatre does confirm is that alcohol will be served during the performance, that patrons may stand and dance, and that the venue asks the audience to be considerate of anyone who prefers to stay in their seat. Children are welcome with adult supervision at a parent or guardian’s discretion. Tickets are €31.50.
