After premiering at London’s Raindance Film Festival almost four years ago, the project languished without a release date.
Last month Flatley confirmed that Blackbird would finally be screened in cinemas in Ireland and the UK starting 2 September.
Tickets have gone on sale for Blackbird, a film written and directed by – as well as starring – Riverdance star and Lord of the Dance creator Michael Flatley.
Many Twitter users also expressed excitement about buying tickets, though it was hard to tell the ironic posters from Flatley’s sincere fans.
