Strictly Come Dancing live tour delayed until 2022
The 2021 Strictly tour will now take place the following year.
Strictly Come Dancing has announced its 2021 arena tour will be delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The 2021 Strictly Come Dancing arena tour will instead go ahead the following year. Tickets for this show will be on sale from 10.00 am on Friday 16th October at strictlycomedancinglive.com.
“As a result of COVID-19 restrictions – and to keep everyone safe – the 2021 arena tour will not go ahead,” Strictly said.
It’s currently unclear if the 2022 tour will feature celebrities from both the 2020 and 2021 Strictly series. RadioTimes.com understands the casting will take place in Autumn next year.
The tour will feature 33 shows in cities such as Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool, Glasgow, Nottingham and London. The show will start in Birmingham on 20th January 2022.
