TV personality, broadcaster and author Dani Dyer and her dance partner Nikita Kuzmin, and highly decorated Team GB skeleton athlete Tabby Stoecker and dance partner Mark Karmalita are the first couples announced for the highly anticipated Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour.
They will don their dancing shoes in January and February, taking to the road to dazzle arena audiences up and down the country and banish those winter blues. Further casting announcements will be made soon.
The couples will be joined on the tour by the Strictly Judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood, while Janette Manrara returns to host the tour for the sixth time. The 2027 Live Tour opens at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on 22 January for the first of 29 scintillating shows around the UK. Tickets are on sale now from StrictlyComeDancingLive.com.

Dani Dyer 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 Stoecker said: “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!”
Following the opening night at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on 22 January, the glitz, the glamour and the sequins – together with the all-important celebrity contestants and their professional dancer partners – will travel to some of the UK’s biggest entertainment venues leaving a trail of glitter in their wake: Utilita Arena Sheffield, Utilita Arena Newcastle, OVO Hydro Glasgow, M&S Bank Arena Liverpool, Leeds First Direct Bank Arena, AO Arena Manchester, Motorpoint Arena Nottingham, and finally culminating at The O2 in London on 14 February.
The Strictly Live Tour celebrates all the joy of the smash-hit BBC series, showcasing the amazing choreography and fantastic live music that Strictly is synonymous with – providing audiences of all ages up and down the country the opportunity to experience everything they love about the TV show live on stage.
Not only are the arena audiences treated to the spectacular roof-raising routines, but they are also granted the power to decide who wins the coveted Glitterball Trophy at the end of each show. The tour judges will of course provide their invaluable wisdom, advice and scores at each performance – we couldn’t stop them if we tried – but the ultimate power lies with the audience. A text for their favourite couple is all it takes; their votes will decide who wins!
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 audiences can book tickets and sit almost anywhere in the arena to enjoy the experience with family and friends.
