Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, which returned with a reimagined circus in 2024, will come back to Dallas once again for new dates at American Airlines Center on August 27-30, 2026.
2026 dates for “The Greatest Show On Earth” will start on April 9 in Worcester, Massachusetts, with stops scheduled in every month for the rest of the year.
The month of August is reserved for Texas, as it will go to Houston (August 6-9), San Antonio (August 13-16), Fort Worth (August 20-23), and Dallas (August 27-30). There will be a final Texas stop in Edinburg on September 3-6 (sorry, Austin and El Paso!).
“The Greatest Show On Earth,” which no longer features live animals, is a two-hour live talent show featuring some of the world’s best acts.
The action-packed modern circus is filled with stunts and immersive moments featuring events like the high-flying trapeze, gravity-defying acrobatics, and more. Set to a high-energy soundtrack, the show includes elements like the Double Wheel of Destiny, a high-speed bicycle troupe, acrobats from Mongolia, and a Latin dance group.
Moments of humor, surprise, and audience interaction are sprinkled throughout the show, while fan-favorite characters like Bailey the Robo Pup bring heart, personality, and fun for younger fans.
Before the show begins, families are invited to enjoy the interactive pre-show, where the Ringling Hype Crew brings the arena to life with music, movement, and crowd engagement.
