Dancing With The Stars Live Announces Extensive 2027 North American Tour

Dancing With The Stars Live has revealed plans for its most extensive tour to date, with a 2027 North American schedule featuring 61 arena stops. The tour is set to run from January through April, bringing professional dancers and live performances to audiences across the continent.

Fan favorites Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Sharna Burgess, Jenna Johnson, Rylee Arnold, and Emma Slater are among the professional dancers slated to participate in the tour. The show's troupe will also include Kamri Peterson, Onye Stevenson, Jaxon Willard, and Carter Williams.

Jared Paul of Faculty Inc., the tour's production company, expressed excitement about the upcoming shows. "We could not be more excited for the fans of DWTS to attend shows across the country next year and see this all-new spectacle that the truly world class dancers and our brilliant creative team are dreaming up," Paul stated in a press release.

The tour includes several stops in the New York and New Jersey area, with scheduled performances at Buffalo's KeyBank Center on January 22, 2027; New York City's Madison Square Garden on February 5, 2027; Albany's MVP Arena on February 12, 2027; and Newark's Prudential Center on February 13, 2027.

A review of a February 2026 performance in Philadelphia highlighted the emotional impact of the dancers' routines. "Beyond the technicality of the dance, this performance made me feel emotions like no other; it was emotionally devastating in the softest, most restrained way," noted WXVU. "These performances remind everyone, whether six or sixty, of the beauty in movement and vulnerability, telling a story without saying a word."

Tickets for the Dancing With The Stars Live 2027 tour will go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, October 13, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. Presale tickets are available on secondary market sites such as Vivid Seats.

The television show "Dancing With The Stars" is currently in its 35th season, airing Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and streaming on Disney+. New episodes are available the following day on Hulu. The current season features celebrity contestants including Julia Stiles, Mark Ballas, Jenna Dewan, Jackson Olson, and Tatyana Ali.
