Dancing with the Stars: Live is adding two Upstate New York dates to its 2027 tour, with Buffalo set for Friday, Jan. 22, and Albany booked for Friday, Feb. 12. The run begins Jan. 21 and stretches to 60 stops across North America.
Madison Kemeny reported the dates and the ticket timing, and the schedule gives fans in Buffalo and Albany a clear reason to start looking now. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster.
The New York stops sit in the middle of a much bigger road show. The production will play Madison Square Garden in New York City on Feb. 5, and that date matters because it is the first time the tour has been booked into the arena. The 2027 run is being framed as a return of Dancing with the Stars to the road, with the show spreading out across North America rather than concentrating on one region.
The lineup also tells a clearer story about what the audience will see than a simple stop list does. Brandon Armstrong, Rylee Arnold, Alan Bersten, Hailey Bills, Sharna Burgess, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Jenna Johnson, Emma Slater, Ezra Sosa, Britt Stewart and Adele Zaikman are set for the tour, with Emma Slater returning as co-host. Rylee Arnold is scheduled through Feb. 13, while Burgess is scheduled for Feb. 17-21 and March 22-27.
That schedule matters because the production is adding the DWTS troupe for the first time, with Kamri Peterson, Onye Stevenson, Jaxon Willard and Carter Williams joining the road show. But the celebrity guest stars have not been announced yet, so the full shape of the performances is still not complete. Mandy Moore is directing the new show, which will include Latin, ballroom and contemporary numbers along with group routines, duets and medleys.
For readers deciding whether to buy in early, the answer is straightforward: the dates are set, the arena firsts are real, and the tickets open Tuesday morning. What remains unknown is which celebrity guest stars will be added before the tour reaches Buffalo, Albany and the rest of the 60-stop run.
