Season 34 of Dancing With the Stars has drawn unprecedented attention thanks to a star-studded cast and renewed energy, and that excitement is now hitting the road. The 2026 DWTS: Live! tour is seeing such high ticket demand that organizers have already extended the schedule, adding five more dates since mid-October.
A tour buzzing with star power
Launching on January 22, 2026, the tour will span more than 70 cities across the United States and Canada, wrapping up on May 2. It’s not just a meet-and-greet type of event either — these shows are full-scale dance productions featuring some of the most beloved professional dancers from the show’s long-running history.
Names like Emma Slater, who will also serve as co-host, Val Chmerkovskiy, Jenna Johnson, Britt Stewart, Alan Bersten, Daniella Karagach, Brandon Armstrong, Pasha Pashkov, Ezra Sosa, and Hailey Bills will all be part of the ensemble. Slater and Chmerkovskiy alone are enough to guarantee some electrifying moments on stage. For fans who’ve followed them season after season, seeing them perform just a few meters away adds a deeply personal layer of emotion.
The added twist? Some surprise guest celebrities from Season 34 will join the tour along the way. The complete list is still under wraps, but frankly, after the success of this season and its appeal to younger viewers, anticipation is running high.

- February 15: Radio City Music Hall, New York

These legendary locations provide huge stages for equally big performances, and the buzz around the Radio City show in particular reminds me of the tour’s past glory years. It’s not just a dance show — it’s a celebration of how far the DWTS phenomenon has come.

A reflection of the show’s renewed popularity
It’s hard not to link this revived tour excitement to the vibe of the most recent season. Season 34 leaned into fresh casting choices, a more youthful tone, and tighter social media integration. The show once again felt like a part of the cultural conversation, and that energy is now carrying over into the tour.
What I love most about these live events is the emotion on stage — the intensity is real, especially when you see what’s usually confined to the TV screen play out in front of your eyes. Shows like this remind us that behind every polished paso doble is a real artist, sweating, smiling, and giving their all.
For fans who’ve tuned in since the early days or younger audiences just discovering the DWTS magic, this tour feels like the perfect chance to live that energy in real time. And with fresh dates already being added, it looks like an entire continent is ready to dance along.
