STRICTLY COME DANCING LIVE ANNOUNCE UK TOUR, RETURNING TO THE O2 NEXT FEBRUARY

The Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour is back for 2026 – and more dazzling than ever before, returning to The O2 on Friday 13 to Sunday 15 February 2026.

Priority Tickets are available to O2 and Virgin Media customers at https://priority.o2.co.uk/ from 10am on Wednesday 24 September and go on general sale at 10am on Friday 26 September via www.theo2.co.uk.

Get your score cards ready and your dancing shoes on as we welcome the return of Strictly legends Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood to the Judges’ desk, and Janette Manrara as the fabulous tour host.

Directed by the incomparable Craig Revel Horwood, the spectacular tour is two hours of glittering entertainment celebrating everything you love about the nation’s favourite TV show, complete with show-stopping routines, stunning group numbers and breathtaking live music from the iconic Strictly band and singers. This is a huge family favourite for all generations to enjoy.

Strictly’s Head Judge Shirley Ballas said: “The Strictly Live Tour is always the best way to start the new year. So I can’t wait for 2026 to be back on the road with Anton and Craig and bring the magic of Strictly to fans across the country. Roll on January!”

Anton Du Beke said: “I’m back for my fourth Strictly tour and it honestly just keeps getting better and better. Sitting behind the judges’ desk and watching the excitement from the audience night after night is just magical and as I’ve said before, we love it just as much as they do. I’m very excited to see what Craig has planned for next year!”

Craig Revel Horwood said: “If you love the BBC series, then you will love the Strictly live tour! We bring all the glitz, glamour and gorgeousness to an arena near you, so fans can enjoy the spectacle of the TV show and their favourite celebrities and dancers up-close and personal. It’s a FAB-U-LOUS night out for the whole family to enjoy.”

The Strictly Live Tour gives audiences the chance to experience everything they love about the TV show live on stage. And remember, there is one very important decision to be made at every show – and that decision is not in the hands of the judges: which couple will lift the Glitterball Trophy? The judges are there to critique and provide their invaluable opinions on each dance routine, but they do not hold the power. This lies with the audience, who can vote using their mobile phones to decide who is the winner.

Each performance will host a British Sign Language interpreter, who will be displayed on two very large screens on either side of the stage so that the audiences can book tickets and sit almost anywhere in the arena to enjoy the experience with family and friends.
