What is Diversity's 2026 concept show SOUL about?

According to Diversity's announcement, the 2026 tour is "based around the technological advancements of artificial intelligence, what the future holds, and what it truly means to be human within the digital age".

A plug for the show reads: "The future is now. Humans have become plugged in and completely connected to a world full of Artificial Intelligence – A world in which it is hard to distinguish reality from fiction. AI has become so advanced it’s considered a life form of its very own.

'Is this the next stage in our evolution? What exactly have we created? What makes us human? ...SOUL."

The street dance group found fame when they won Britain's Got Talent in 2009, beating Susan Boyle to the crown.
