The blockbuster arena tour will head across the UK in early 2027, featuring judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood alongside host Janette Manrara
The Strictly Come Dancing Live Arena Tour returns to our dancefloors in early 2027, with two major shows confirmed for the city.
The nationwide 29-date arena run kicks off at Birmingham's Utilita Arena on January 22, before visiting Sheffield, Newcastle, Glasgow, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, and Nottingham, before culminating at The O2 in London on February 14.
TV judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood are all confirmed to return to the judging panel on the road, alongside fan-favourite tour host Janette Manrara.
Unlike the main BBC television series, the live arena tour puts the voting power directly into the hands of the audience.
While the judging panel provides live critiques and scores for each routine, audience members vote via their mobile phones to determine who lifts the coveted Glitterball Trophy at the end of each show.
Craig Revel Horwood, who also directs the live arena show, said: "This fabulous live tour is great fun for all of us and gives audiences the chance to see our spectacular cast of celebrities and professional dancers in a whole new way.
"Dust off your dancing shoes, darlings; it is not to be missed."
Head judge Shirley Ballas added: "I just love the Strictly tour and all the banter that I have with Anton and Craig. It’s the best way to start the year, and I can’t wait to see our incredible fans all over the country."
