André Rieu in Concert

André Rieu & his Johann Strauss Orchestra

Introducing the spring UK tour 2025

The ‘Waltz King’ of Europe is returning to the UK with his Johann Strauss Orchestra to perform in spring 2025 at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, and the OVO Hydro Arena in Glasgow.

Acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest living musical legends, Dutch-born André Rieu was classically trained and is now an accomplished violinist, an excellent conductor and a truly great showman. With his orchestra, choir and soloists, he brings a delightful and innovative approach to his concerts, recreating the atmosphere of 19th-century Viennese Dance Halls. Rapt audiences sway with the music, hum along and even dance in the aisles – it all happens! During the concert, you’ll hear music from across André’s repertoire, and it will be a wonderful not-to-be-missed experience.

In this brochure, you’ll find details of our popular make-your-own-way break to Liverpool, and a brand-new option for 2025 at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester. In addition, you’ll discover our package to Glasgow, back with a new itinerary featuring central Glasgow accommodation, and a visit to the Trossachs with a cruise on Loch Katrine.

Whichever break you choose, please reserve your place(s) early to avoid disappointment.
