Dancing with the Stars Live Returns to Mohegan Sun Arena
Audiences will experience this season’s breathless excitement
and glamour up-close, and personal
UNCASVILLE, CT (October 8, 2025) – Dancing with the Stars is hotter than ever – and now it’s hitting the road with a 74-date tour across North America! After a sold-out tour earlier this year, DWTS returns in 2026 with a brand-new live show, including a stop at Mohegan Sun Arena on January 30th and 31st for back-to-back 8:00pm performances.
Tickets go on sale at 10:00am on Friday, October 10th via Ticketmaster.com. Tickets are also available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, October 11th, subject to availability. For Friday tickets, click HERE and for Saturday, click HERE.
With more than 35 million votes cast weekly by viewers, Dancing with the Stars: Live! jumps from screen to stage with an all-star cast of professional dancers: Brandon Armstrong, Alan Bersten, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Jenna Johnson, Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, Emma Slater, Ezra Sosa, Britt Stewart and Hailey Bills. Under the direction of Emmy Award- winning choreographer Mandy Moore (La La Land, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour), these fan favorites bring the artistry and athleticism of the ballroom to life in an unforgettable live experience.
The momentum comes at a high point for the franchise: the Season 34 premiere ranked as the #1 most mentioned show on social media across all broadcast and cable and generated more than double the number of audience votes compared to the Season 33 premiere. That passion now extends beyond the ballroom, offering audiences nationwide the rare opportunity to experience the energy, excitement, and star power of Dancing with the Stars live on stage.
“We cannot wait for all the fans of DWTS to come out and enjoy the show we have dreamed up for this year’s tour. These dancers are simply the best in the world at what they do, and we hope that everyone is as thrilled as we are to enjoy this one-of-a kind all-new show that brings the tv show we all love to life LIVE in venues across North America.” – Jared Paul, Faculty Inc
