The Greatest Spectacle of Lucha Libre is coming to London, offering the last chance to see Mexico's legendary Luchador, El Hijo del Santo, on his farewell tour. This global wrestling show, known as Lucha Libre World, will take place at York Hall this Day of the Dead.

London will be the first stop on an international tour that has captivated over one million fans worldwide. Lucha Libre is famous for its colourful masks, fast-paced action, and high-flying moves, with wrestlers known as Luchadores who bring dramatic flair to the ring.

El Hijo del Santo, the silver-masked icon, will be joined by his son, Santo Jr., marking the first time they'll perform together in the UK. Former WWE wrestler Sin Cara, now under the name Cinta de Oro, will also be featured alongside other stars like Máscara Sagrada and Xtreme Tiger.

The event coincides with Mexico's Día de Muertos, and York Hall will be transformed with live mariachi music, Mexican dancers, and authentic cuisine. Fans can expect two nights of thrilling wrestling, with rival camps of Rudos (rule-breakers) and Técnicos (rule-followers). The spectacle promises a vibrant fusion of sport, culture, and a celebration of El Hijo del Santo's illustrious career.

The Greatest Spectacle of Lucha Libre is at York Hall in London on 1 and 2 November. Find out more and book your spot here.
