Dancing with the Stars: Live! has locked a 60-city 2027 arena tour, and the headline date is the franchise’s first-ever show at Madison Square Garden. Public tickets go on sale Tuesday, October 13, at 10 a.m. local time at DWTSTour.com. A free Mirrorball membership opens earlier access on Thursday, October 8, at 10 a.m.
The run starts January 21, 2027, at SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire, and ends April 11 at Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia. New York is February 5 at Madison Square Garden. Last year’s tour sold out widely enough that dates were added, and the Garden debut is the date most likely to move first.
What the 2027 show is
This is the pro tour, not a celebrity cast reunion. Routines are new, the ballroom is rebuilt for arenas, and celebrity guests are still to be announced. Emmy-winning choreographer Mandy Moore, whose credits include La La Land and Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, directs. Faculty Inc.’s Jared Paul called it an all-new spectacle built around the dancers fans already know from the TV show. ABC and People confirmed the routing; Pollstar published the full date list the morning of the announcement.
The tour is presented by CoverGirl. Season 35 of the TV show continues Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+.
Who is on the road
Core cast: Emma Slater (returning as co-host), Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Britt Stewart, Alan Bersten, Brandon Armstrong, Jenna Johnson, Ezra Sosa, Hailey Bills, and Adele Zaikman.
Select dates only:
- Rylee Arnold is listed for January 21–February 13, February 23–March 20, and March 31–April 11. That covers the Garden show. She sat out last year’s tour while managing Type 1 diabetes and told People an insulin pump has been a turning point.
- Sharna Burgess is listed for February 17–21 and March 22–27.
For the first time, the DWTS troupe joins the road: Kamri Peterson, Onye Stevenson, Jaxon Willard, and Carter Williams. Lineups are subject to change. Check the city page on DWTSTour.com before you buy if a specific pro is the reason you are going.
VIP packages include premium seats, a meet-and-greet photo, interactive time with touring cast members, and exclusive merch.
How to buy tickets
- Join the free Mirrorball membership on DWTSTour.com before the October 8 presale.
- Presale is Thursday, October 8, at 10 a.m. local time. That is the window for early seats and VIP.
- Public on-sale is Tuesday, October 13, at 10 a.m. local time on the same site.
- After the primary sale, compare verified resale only. The Garden, TD Garden, Crypto.com Arena, and Bridgestone Arena are the dates most likely to hit the secondary market first.
Face-value seats through the official site are the cleanest buy. Resale can add service fees, and dynamic pricing on arena onsales often jumps in the first hour. If a section looks oddly cheap next to identical rows, treat it as a red flag until the barcode and transfer rules check out.
First-ever MSG show
February 5, 2027, Madison Square Garden, New York. The Garden holds about 20,000 for an end-stage setup, so inventory is larger than a typical DWTS theater date, but center-floor and lower-bowl demand will still be tight.
Seat logic that usually holds at MSG:
- Floor and the first 10 rows of the lower bowl are the meet-the-pros sections. Expect those to anchor VIP.
- Lower bowl sides (sections 108–114 and the opposite side) are the best value if you want faces without floor pricing.
- Upper bowl corners are the realistic cheap-ticket play once the presale clears. Avoid the extreme sides if the stage is end-on and you care about the full formation.
Venue details, bag policy, and entry rules are on the Madison Square Garden site. Doors and start time had not been posted at announcement. Nearby routing makes a weekend of it: Philadelphia on February 4 at Xfinity Mobile Arena, Hartford on February 6, and Newark on February 13.

Where tickets will be hardest
Tightest primary inventory, based on building size and last year’s sellouts: Madison Square Garden, TD Garden, Crypto.com Arena, Bridgestone Arena, Ball Arena, Climate Pledge Arena, and Scotiabank Arena.
Better odds on face-value seats if you can travel: Allentown, Hershey, Moline, Des Moines, Charlottesville, Norfolk, Abbotsford, Mobile, and Duluth. Those rooms are smaller or sit off the main tour corridors, which is usually where cheap tickets last past the first on-sale hour.
