The first celebrities set to continue their Strictly Come Dancing journey after the current series ends have been revealed for the 2027 Live Tour.
It was announced in September that the live tour will return next year with 29 shows around the country. The tour kicks off at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on January 22 for the first of five shows before moving across the UK – visiting Sheffield, Newcastle, Glasgow, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester and Nottingham before culminating at The O2 in London on February 14.
Judges and Host Join the Road
Judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood will also be hitting the road, alongside returning host Janette Manrara, who left Strictly earlier this year having been part of the show as a professional dancer before becoming the co-host of BBC2 spin-off, It Takes Two.
TV personality Dani Dyer and her dance partner Nikita Kuzmin, and Team GB skeleton athlete Tabby Stoecker and dance partner Mark Karmalita will take to the road in January and February to perform for arena audiences.
Further Casting Announcements
Further casting announcements will be made soon, with the latest update coming as the 2026 series continues, with week seven of the competition set to take place live this Saturday (November 7) night.
Dani said: "What a year it’s been! Being back on the Strictly dancefloor with Nikita has been such an incredible experience, and now I’m so excited that I’ll be joining the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour as well. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about the crowds, and I can’t wait to meet you all and be part of it."
Tabby added: "What an incredible year this continues to be - I’m over the moon to be part of the UK-wide live tour. I can’t wait to revisit our favourite routines in front of an arena crowd and connect with fellow Strictly lovers across the country!"
Audience Decides the Winner
On the Strictly Live Tour, the audience has the power to decide which couple will lift the Glitterball trophy. The judges critique each routine, but it will be the audience who can vote using their mobile phones to decide the winner.
