Michael Flatley is set to perform in Ireland in August.
The dance extraordinaire will take part in the official opening of Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Ennis, Co Clare, next month.
However, the talented star wont be dancing at the event but will instead be playing the flute.
The star, who brought Irish dancing all over the world, will take part in the Fleadh on Sunday August 13th.
Speaking to the Clare Herald the artist said it was a “great honour to be asked to open this year’s Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Ennis”.
“It is such a great home of traditional music and a place I have very fond memories of including winning the All-Ireland there many years ago. It is vitally important for all of us to nurture young talent and to encourage young people today to play Irish music.
“I’m really looking forward to it and am sure it will be a huge success.”
