DWTS Tour Announces 2026 Lineup, Mirrorball Members Get Early Access

As of October 8, 2025, the highly anticipated Dancing With the Stars tour is gearing up for an exciting 2026 season. Cohost Julianne Hough has confirmed that the live production will once again be directed and choreographed by acclaimed choreographer Mandy Moore.

Tickets for the tour will go on sale to the general public on October 10 at 10 a.m. local time. However, Mirrorball Members will have the opportunity to access presale tickets starting two days earlier, on October 8 at 10 a.m. local time. Hough expressed her confidence that the tour will sell out quickly, given the immense buzz surrounding the current season of the show.

The DWTS tour is set to kick off on January 22, 2026, at the Akron Civic Theater in Ohio, and will run for over four months, concluding on May 2, 2026, at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City. In total, the tour will span 74 dates across the country.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, fan-favorite pros Valentin Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson discussed their return to the tour after a five-year hiatus. The couple, who are parents to a 2-year-old son, Rome, are excited to share this experience as a family. "What a treat to be back on the road and to do it at a time when the show is in its peak again and experiencing this incredible renaissance with a whole new audience," Chmerkovskiy said.

Johnson, who was recently eliminated from the current season 34 of the show, expressed her enthusiasm for the tour, stating, "We are elite at what we do, and to have the opportunity to dance with each other, and really exercise our choreography and our brains, it's such a treat for us."
