'Dancing with the Stars' 2026 Live Tour Confirmed... Winner Robert Irwin and Season 34 Stars Gather

The 2026 live tour of 'Dancing with the Stars' (DWTS) is set to dazzle the nation with a spectacular lineup.

Right after the Season 34 finale aired on the 26th (local time), the production team announced the official schedule and participating cast for the 2026 tour. The tour will kick off on January 7, 2026 at the Altria Theater in Richmond, Virginia, and will conclude with a finale at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California on April 6.

The Emotions of Season 34, Once Again on Stage

Many of the stars who heated up Season 34 will join this tour. The most notable figure is undoubtedly Season 34 Winner Robert Irwin. He won the 'Mirrorball Trophy' by channeling his father Steve Irwin's legacy through dance and will participate as a special guest in major city performances during the tour to meet fans.

Additionally, runner-up TikTok star Alix Earle has been selected as the co-host of the tour, handling the entire schedule, while Olympic gymnastics star Jordan Chiles will also join to recreate the explosive energy shown on the broadcast live.

The lineup of professional dancers is also impressive. Popular dancers loved by fans, including Whitney Carson, who was Robert Irwin's partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, Ezra Sosa, Jenna Johnson, Alan Bersten, Emma Slater, Daniela Karagach, and Pasha Pashkov, will all be present.

The Magic of Mandy Moore from 'La La Land' Continues in 2026

The choreography and direction of the tour will once again be handled by the Emmy Award-winning global choreographer Mandy Moore. Known for her choreography in the movie 'La La Land' and Taylor Swift's 'The Eras Tour', she is said to have conceived a completely new opening and finale stage for the 2026 tour.

Tour producer Jared Paul expressed confidence, stating, "Season 34 was a monumental season that recorded unprecedented viewership ratings. This show, created with outstanding professional dancers and stars like Robert and Alix, will provide audiences with thrills beyond TV."

Evolving into an Audience Participation Show

The 2026 tour has significantly enhanced its 'Interactive' elements. In addition to traditional dance performances such as ballet, Latin, and ballroom, there will be a live Q&A session and an impromptu dance battle where the audience can directly decide the winner, providing a wealth of entertainment.

Moreover, VIP package purchasers will receive special benefits such as photo opportunities with the cast, autograph sessions, and exclusive tour merchandise. Ticket reservations can be made through the official website (DWTSTour.com) and Ticketmaster.
