Lucha Libre wrestling returns to UK for the first time since the pandemic

Lucha Libre wrestling is returning to the UK for the first time since the COVID pandemic. Lucha Britannia features ‘fighters’ in colourful costumes and elaborate facemasks, with every move painstakingly choreographed for an audience comprised of both art connoisseurs and wrestling fans.

Those lucky enough to secure tickets here for the April 27 event in London can expect a night of high-flying, high-energetic entertainment that guarantees action left, right and centre with four exhilarating face-offs. The event will feature 15 wrestlers including iconic Lucha Britannia characters such as El Pirana and Britannico, along with new faces to be revealed on the night.

Fans can also expect appearances from special guests at the ‘Wrestle Mexicana’ event hosted by Domino’s to mark the launch of its new Ultimate Chicken Mexicana pizza. But there was a time when Lucha Britannia founder Garry Vanderhorne feared the British public would never get to see their show again.
