Strictly Come Dancing fans can buy tickets to the 2026 live tour now.
Strictly Come Dancing 2025 may have only just kicked off this month, but the BBC have already planned out next year’s list of bumper events. The annual Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour will be returning in 2026 with a string of this year’s contestants to take on the battle for the Glitter Ball at arenas around the UK in 2026.
This string of events, which is due to begin in January, 2026, will see the Strictly Come Dancing stars and finalists put on their dancing shoes once again to see who is the best performer each night. And while the celebrities have not yet been announced, the judges and the host have.
Iconic and hugely popular Strictly judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood will be returning to the judges’ desk at each event next year. And making sure everything is in order, professional dancer Janette Manrara will be the host for each event.
The Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour will spend a few days at each arena (including Birmingham’s Utilita Arena, Newcastle’s Utilita Arena, Leeds’ First Direct Arena and London’s O2 Arena) with a multiple shows each day. These will kick off at 2:30pm and 7:30pm each night.
The Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour 2026 tickets are out now.
For the fans who want to get in early, tickets are out this week. And there’s a chance to get presale access, as well.
