Strictly Live Tour 2026 - Who's going?

[xsquared]

Which venue are you going to and which dances are you most looking forward to?

I bought my tickets earlier this week for Newcastle, when the remaining contestants were announced for the tour. Following the disappointment of seeing Lewis eliminated the previous week, it was like a consolation prize for me to see him and Katya dance in person. I don't mind seeing any two of their dances apart from the West Side Story salsa.

Of the pro group dances, I'd like to see the Steps medley again. There weren't many of the group dances that stood out to me.

The dances for each contestant have been announced earlier today, if you want to know who is doing what.

It would be my first time going to the tour, and I'm very excited about it!

I went 2 years ago in the 02 London.

Loved it. There was quite a lot of innuendos and the judges were more fun.

Enjoy!

I'm going! Glasgow. I wouldn't have gone if Lewis wasn't performing. There are a few of the venues he won't be there for, so I checked before I booked.

I’m the same. Also Glasgow, and wouldn’t have if Lewis hadn’t been there.

Oh, so a few of us who held off from getting a ticket until Lewis was announced. 😁

I don't fancy him or anything- I'm old enough to be his mum, but for me his and Katya's dances were the ones I was looking forward to most.

Can you believe, if Lewis and George couldn't do the tour, we would have been left with contestants who didn't make Blackpool!

I’d pay to see a whole show of Lewis and katya. I always love her choreography and loved her with Nigel a couple of years ago too.

I’m sure the Britney group dance will be on the tour because Jake choreographed it and he is on the tour and it’s had 1.7 million views on youtube.

Lewis and Katya will be running a dance workshop in Hartlepool in February.

I would also happily pay to see just Lewis and Katya dance for 2 hours!

That willl be fantastic in Hartlepool - I’m too far away though, plus can’t dance! They have been so popular though, and with so many people being disappointed when they went out, that maybe they will do some other stuff together!

It would be lovely if they had a more lasting collaboration.

I've been every year for the last 15 years or so. It's gone downhill over the last few years. Too staged, too robotic, no spontaneity. It's like a cheap panto. I'm not going this year.

I’m not, have been before but going to the strictly professionals tour this year for the first time which I’m excited for!

I'm going for the first time this year, taking my DD (7) to Birmingham, through the Hilton package with Ticket Master. Has anyone done this previously? If so, what were the seats like? I've bought her a tulle party dress to wear, and she is beyond excited.

We had a weekend in Blackpool in October, and I visited the Tower ballroom on my own as the family went up the top of the tower (I'm scared of heights). I thought it was absolutely magical, and there were a couple who seemed leagues above the general public. Also, there was another lady who popped in for a look and we had a lovely chat - if you're reading this, Hello! I thoroughly enjoyed that, so can't wait for the tour.

We've seen Anton and Giovanni's show and to be honest, I found it disappointing. It wasn't my humour at all.

Has the Shen Yun tour caught anyone else's eye? I'm very tempted.

Well, we saw the show last night and I definitely wasn't disappointed! Nancy and Julian were my favourite professionals. Shirley knocked my socks off too. The group dances were so impressive. Did anyone else go?

Going on Wednesday. Can't wait!

Ah, I wish I was seeing it again on Wednesday! 😁 Enjoy!!

I went this afternoon - it was fab!

I was there in the evening. Was great!
