Celebrating 20 years of the soul of Spain in the heart of London.
The Flamenco Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary with its biggest ever programme of dance and music across two weeks this summer (27 May - 8 June) at Sadler’s Wells Theatre and the Lilian Baylis Studio in Islington and Sadler’s Wells East in Stratford as well as an extended programme of events at King’s Place, the Jazz Cafe and Acosta Dance Centre. Highlights include the UK premieres of shows from ‘the queen of flamenco’ Sara Baras, new work from Manuel Liñán, and performances by Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía, plus a range of music events and artists continuing to evolve the art form.
Flamenco Festival is dedicated to showcasing and promoting Spanish culture worldwide. Under the direction of Miguel Marín, the festival's annual international events serve as a platform for presenting today's foremost flamenco luminaries — from internationally acclaimed artists and venerable icons of traditional flamenco to the most cutting-edge and promising young talents in dance, music, and song. Established in 2001, Flamenco Festival has evolved into the premier global platform for flamenco, captivating over 1.6 million people annually. Across 112 cities, it has featured 170 companies in 1350 performances, elevating flamenco to a vital part of prestigious theaters worldwide, including NY City Center, Carnegie Hall, London Sadler's Wells, Arsht Center in Miami, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House, and more.
