FULL MOON 2026: A New Era of Glamour, Identity & Liberation with The Ladyboys of Bangkok

The Ladyboys of Bangkok announce a new show: Full Moon 2026. When the moon rises high over a tropical sky, magic begins. Light shimmers across the water, colours come alive, and suddenly the world feels a little bolder, a little brighter, and full of possibilities. That sense of wonder — the feeling that anything can happen under the glow of a brilliant moon — is the heart of the Ladyboys of Bangkok’s brand-new 2026 show: Full Moon.

A celebration of identity. A journey of ambition. A story of transformation.
And above all… a spectacular night of entertainment that only the Ladyboys can deliver.

As the UK’s most iconic touring cabaret spectacular, The Ladyboys of Bangkok have spent years dazzling audiences with their unique fusion of Thai glamour, Western pop culture, and breathtaking theatrical artistry. Now, for 2026, they return bigger, brighter, and more breathtaking than ever before.

Full Moon isn’t just a show — it’s a celebration of becoming who you truly are.

A New Story for a New Year: The Magic of the Full Moon

There’s an ancient belief across Southeast Asia that the full moon marks a time of renewal – a time when old energy washes away and new dreams come into focus. Under its silver light, people gather, celebrate, express themselves, and release what no longer serves them.

That spirit runs through every beat of the Ladyboys’ brand-new production.

Full Moon 2026 guides audiences on a journey across Thailand’s most iconic celebrations — from moonlit beaches buzzing with tropical beats to neon-lit Bangkok streets alive with music, fire, and unstoppable energy. It’s a show that captures the heartbeat of a culture where colour meets courage, where beauty meets boldness, and where identity shines without apology.

It’s also a tribute to the performers themselves — glamorous, charismatic, fearless entertainers who have inspired audiences all over the world. Their stories of ambition and authenticity are woven into the show’s emotional core, reminding us all that becoming who you are is the greatest performance of all.

This year’s production is more than glitz and sequins (though there’s no shortage of those!) — it’s a celebration of liberation, pride, and the unstoppable power of self-expression.

A Show Packed with Dazzling Performance & Unforgettable Moments

As always, the Ladyboys bring their signature blend of glamour, comedy, dance, and show-stopping music — but Full Moon takes everything to a cosmic new level.
