The Live Tour is at the venue from Friday, January 22 to Sunday, January 24.

You'll need to know how long you need to park, how much parking is likely to cost and what time you expect to get home (or wherever you might be heading afterwards).

If you're getting to and from the venue by rail, the performance times are vital for knowing what trains to catch.

For the performance on Friday, January 22, arena doors open at 6.30pm, the show starts at 7.30pm, there's a 20-minute interval at 8.35pm and the show finishes at 9.45pm.

There are two performances on Saturday, January 23. For the matinee, arena doors open at 1.30pm, the show starts at 2.30pm, there's a 20-minute interval at 3.35pm and the show finishes at 4.45pm.

For the Saturday evening performance, arena doors open at 6.30pm, the show starts at 7.30pm, there's a 20-minute interval at 8.35pm and the show finishes at 9.45pm.

Sunday also offers two performances. For the first of those, arena doors open at 12.30pm, the show starts at 13.30pm, there's a 20-minute interval at 2.35pm and the show finishes at 3.45pm.

The later performance sees arena doors open at 5.30pm, the show starts at 6.30pm, there's a 20-minute interval at 7.35pm and the show finishes at 8.45pm.

Timings are approximate so don't rely on them being exact to the minute when making other arrangements.

The tour will open at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on 19 January for the first of five spectacular performances.

And of course, the Strictly Live Tour Band and singers will be wowing arena audiences with their show-stopping tunes and harmonies. Celebrities and professional dancers joining the tour will be announced soon. 

Strictly’s Head Judge Shirley Ballas said: “I’m delighted to be judging the Strictly Live Tour once again - there is never a dull moment alongside Anton and Craig!

Strictly's Live Tour celebrates all the joy of the TV 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 in their hometown or city.

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.

It's time to dust off those scoring paddles and get those dancing shoes ready, because the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour is back for 2024!  Strictly legends Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood return to take up their judging seats and It Takes Two ’s Janette Manrara is back as tour host.

The Strictly Live Tour will dazzle audiences on the 3rd and 4th of February 2024 at Manchester's AO Arena. Celebrities and professional dancers joining the tour will be announced soon.

Strictly’s Head Judge Shirley Ballas said: “I’m delighted to be judging the Strictly Live Tour once again - there is never a dull moment alongside Anton and Craig! The audiences are always electric, the atmosphere is amazing, and Anton has promised me lots of surprises! I can’t wait for January next year when we get the show on the road!”

Anton Du Beke said: "It was my first Strictly tour earlier this year and I was blown away by the scale and spectacle of the live experience. So, I'm thrilled to be back with all the gang next year and look forward to another incredible tour."

Craig Revel Horwood said: “What better way to start the new year than with the Strictly Live Tour! It’s going to be gorgeous to be back on the road with Shirley, Anton, and Janette. Joining us to entertain you all will be an A-MAZ-ING line-up of celebrities and professional dancers from this year’s series. And, as you would expect, we will have a few extra special surprises in store for the arena audiences along the way. One word, three syllables - FAB-U-LOUS!”

Janette Manrara said: “What an incredible way to kick off 2024! I am always so honoured to host the live tour as it brings everything that viewers love about the Strictly TV show to thousands of people around the UK. It’s a great night out for all the family - I just can’t wait!”

Strictly Come Dancing returned to BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Saturday 16 September for its 21 st series with an all-new exciting celebrity and pro dancer line-up and an array of incredible dance routines. Strictly's Live Tour celebrates all the joy of the TV 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 in their hometown or city.

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!

As with the 2023 tour, 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.

It’s time to put on your dancing shoes as Strictly Come Dancing has announced the full line-up for its 2024 live tour.

The upcoming tour will be filled with a star-studded line-up of celebrities who remain on the show as well as some that have now been eliminated.

Strictly judges Shirley Ballas , Anton Du Beke, and Craig Revel Horwood will also return to take up their judging seats and It Takes Two’s Janette Manrara is back as tour host.

Head judge Ballas said she is “delighted” to the a part of the tour once again, adding: “there is never a dull moment alongside Anton and Craig! The audiences are always electric, the atmosphere is amazing, and Anton has promised me lots of surprises! I can’t wait for January next year when we get the show on the road!”

Du Beke said he had his first Strictly tour earlier this year and was “blown away by the scale and spectacle of the live experience. So, I’m thrilled to be back with all the gang next year and look forward to another incredible tour.”

Here is everything you need to know about Strictly’s 2024 live tour…

When and where will the tour take place?

The Strictly Come Dancing live tour is set to dazzle its viewers between January and February on stages across the UK for 30 shows next year.

Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased on strictlycomedancinglive.com – the price is between £35-£100 depending on the venue.

The tour will star at Birmingham’s Utility Arena on 19 January for the first of five performances.

The contestants and their professional partners will also be performing at the following venues: Utilita Arena Sheffield, Utilita Arena Newcastle, OVO Hydro Glasgow, M&S Bank Arena Liverpool, First Direct Arena Leeds, AO Arena Manchester, Motorpoint Arena Nottingham and finally The O2 in London, culminating on 11 February.

Which stars will be on tour?

EastEnders star Bobby Brazier will pair up again with his partner, Dianne Buswell, for the tour.

He said: “I love dancing and I love Strictly, so what better way to continue this brilliant experience than on the live tour. I’ve heard from Dianne what a blast everyone has on the road, so I can’t wait to perform with her for those huge arena crowds next year.”

Former tennis player Annabel Croft will take to the floor with Graziano Di Prima, after dancing with Johannes Radebe during the TV series.

She said: “I’m used to interviewing people in front of very large crowds, but to dance in arenas for many thousands of people is going to be something else.

“Dancing every week on the TV show has been such a joy, so I can’t wait for the magic of the tour and to experience it with my new tour partner, Graziano.”

Channel 4 news anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy will be back to show viewers what they missed out on. He described his time on Strictly this year as “life-changing” and said the chance to take on another challenge was “irresistible”. The broadcaster will be hitting the dance floor with Jowita Przystal.

Recently eliminated Angela Scanlon will pair up with Carlos Gu and make a dazzling comeback on the dance floor. Scanlon said she is “thrilled” to get the opportunity to continue her “amazing journey” with dance partner Carlos Gu.

Ellie Leach will be partnered up once more with Vito Coppola. The actress said the tour is going to be a “blast” and she “can’t wait for January to experience it all over again.”

Angela Rippon, who made history as the oldest contestant on the show, will team up with Kai Widdrington again. Speaking on the tour, Rippon said: “Having really challenged myself on the TV show over the last seven weeks, it’s going to be wonderful to continue the Strictly magic on the tour next year. From hosting Come Dancing to performing for over 10,000 people at The O2 – I really will have completed the ultimate Strictly journey!"

And finally, we have a fan favourite, Layton Williams, who will join forces with Nikita Kuzmin. Sharing his thoughts on the tour, Williams said he “can’t wait to dance in arenas across the country,” adding: “The Strictly tour means more sequins – lots and lots of sequins! I couldn’t think of a better way to end this fab experience.”

Strictly's Dianne Buswell reveals mermaid hair transformation from £3.5m home with Joe Sugg

The australian dancer switched up her look ahead of the strictly come dancing pro tour.

Aside from her incredible dance portfolio as a Strictly professional dancer, Dianne Buswell is known for her bright red hair. 

The Australian-born ballroom dancer, 34, burst onto our TV screens back in 2017 with her fiery red locks which she has maintained since. The star took to Instagram on Friday to show off her latest hair transformation. 

The dancer shared a video from her £3.5 million home in Sussex she shares with her vlogger and former Strictly contestant boyfriend Joe Sugg , 32. She was seen brushing out her red locks which were unstyled before jumping in the shower in her chic grey bathroom to wash her hair. 

She then transformed her locks, styling her hair in bouncy mermaid waves which with the red hue, had her looking like Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

"One of my favourite comments is “wow, your hair looks so healthy and shiny!'. All the colouring and heat that I use on it for shows, this is music to my ears," Dianne captioned the post which has already garnered thousands of likes.

The professional dancer recently shared that her hair had undergone a change . Having rocked red locks which have increasingly become brighter in tone, Dianne thought it was "time for a change."

Dianne's stylist Vicky Demetriou swapped the all-over pillar-box red colour for a tamer look featuring ombréd dark roots into brighter ends with added volume thanks to new extensions. 

Before Dianne was a professional dancer, she trained as a hairdresser so it is hardly a surprise that between her own skills and those of the Strictly hair team, her ruby red tresses always look on point.

Take a look at how her hair has evolved over the years….

The beginning

Flashback to 2017 and Dianne made her Strictly debut with red wine-hued locks which fell just below her shoulders and were styled in tight old Hollywood waves.

A slicked-back moment

In 2018 Dianne Buswell attended The British Academy Children's Awards at The Roundhouse in London with long hair pushed behind her ears featuring gelled-back wet-look roots.

A side fringe moment

By the time her second year on Strictly came around, Dianne was sporting a side fringe and a flicky mid-length blowdry.

A half up-do

In 2019, Dianne was spotted with her Strictly partner Dev Griffin at BBC Radio 1's Teen Awards donning a neat half-up style with her gorgeous red colour blended upwards to the root.

Off-duty chic

Dianne looked effortlessly cool in a cropped tee, cargos, and a puffer jacket as she was seen leaving a hotel ahead of Strictly rehearsals in 2022 with her red hair scraped up into a high ponytail with dark roots showing for a casual undone look.

Shortly after her ponytail moment, Dianne switched it up dying the front strands of her hair, otherwise known as money pieces, candy pink to clash with her red lengths.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Senior royal with ‘a lot of personality’ desperate to do Strictly Come Dancing

Share this with

Princess Anne wants to appear on Strictly Come Dancing according to professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova .

The Princess Royal, 73, is apparently a Strictly fan and told Nadiya, 34, she ‘wants to go on the show’ when the pair met at a ballet event last month.

What’s more, professional dancer Nadiya – who joined Strictly in 2017 and over the years has been paired with the likes of soap star Davood Ghadami , footballer David James , and Blue’s Lee Ryan – is going to suggest the senior royal to producers.

‘She is a  Strictly  fan and she wants to go on the show – she told me,’ Nadiya revealed of Princess Anne while talking to The Sun .

‘She did say that,’ she confirmed, continuing: ‘I think she would be good – there’s a lot of personality there, isn’t there?’

The star added that she’s put in a good word for Anne to producers, which she said professional dancers often do.

‘We get that privilege, and because of the show, we end up in circles with celebrities who love Strictly,’ she said.

‘So whenever we speak with the producers I say, “What about this person?, or, “What about that person?”’

The dancer explained how the royal family ‘love’ Strictly and watch it ‘all the time’.

It comes after the Queen announced she’s one of Strictly’s ‘greatest fans’ after star Johannes Radebe presented her with a pair of steel-shod shoes at an event in Cambridge in February.

Princess Anne isn’t the only royal interested in trying out for the glitter ball trophy, as professional dancer Johannes Radebe revealed Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh  also expressed her longing to participate in the dance competition.

He said: ‘She would love the opportunity to [compete in Strictly Come Dancing] but she can’t obviously. She has personally told me this.’

There are already  rumours  about  who might appear on the upcoming season of Strictly Come Dancing .

Hannah Waddingham, Nicola Peltz, Sophie Morgan, Jill Scott, and Phillip Schofield have all been rumoured to appear on the 2024 season of the show.

This year will mark 20 years since Strictly Come Dancing came to TV screens.
