Strictly Come Dancing Announces 29-Date UK Arena Tour for 2027

The tour will open with five performances at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena before moving on to the other cities.
The Liverpool production is described as a two-hour show featuring group dances, live music from the Strictly band and singers, elaborate costumes and individual routines.
Tickets for the Liverpool performances are scheduled to go on sale at 9 a.m. on Friday, September 25.
Anton Du Beke said he particularly enjoys the tour because it allows the cast to meet audiences around the country and gives fans the opportunity to experience the dancers’ performances up close.
The tour announcement follows a revamped television series featuring new presenters Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe, who replaced Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.
Strictly Come Dancing is bringing its live arena tour back to the UK in early 2027 with 29 performances across major cities. LADbible reported the tour opens in Birmingham on January 22 and wraps up in London on Valentine's Day, February 14. Judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood will return, while former pro Janette Manrara hosts the shows.
Each nightly show lets audiences vote by phone to crown a celebrity-pro couple the winner of the Glitterball Trophy. The Star noted the tour will feature live music, elaborate costumes and group dances across Sheffield, Newcastle, Glasgow, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester and Nottingham.
The tour launches with five consecutive performances at Birmingham's Utilita Arena starting January 22, 2027. This extended opening run gives fans in the Midlands multiple chances to see the live spectacle before the tour moves north. LADbible confirmed these opening dates set the tone for the month-long run.
The tour stops in Liverpool on February 2 and 3, bringing the full Strictly experience to Merseyside fans. London Now described the show as a two-hour production packed with group dances, live Strictly band performances, singers and individual routines in elaborate costumes. Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. on Friday, September 25.
The Star confirmed that Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood stay on as judges for the live tour. Janette Manrara, a former professional dancer from the show, hosts the arena dates. Du Beke has said he loves the tour because it lets the cast meet audiences across the country and lets fans see the dancers perform up close.
The live tour follows a revamped TV series that brought major changes to the show. Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe replaced long-time presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. The live arena tour offers fans a chance to experience the judges and professional dancers in person while the TV show continues with its new look.
