For the past few weeks, fans of *Strictly Come Dancing* have been enjoying a thrilling experience
as they’ve flocked to arenas across the UK to witness the 2025 Strictly Come Dancing Live tour.
As the show nears its grand finale at London’s O2 Arena this Sunday, February 9, many are reflecting on the excitement
and energy of the spectacular performances, while eagerly anticipating the return of the show next year.
The tour, which kicked off on January 17 in Birmingham at the Utilita Arena, has been nothing short of a celebration of the magic of dance.
Featuring a star-studded lineup, the 2025 tour has seen celebrities such as actress Sarah Hadland, reality TV personality Tasha Ghouri, JLS singer JB Gill, *EastEnders* star Jamie Borthwick, *The X Factor* winner Shayne Ward, and Gladiators star Montell Douglas take to the stage.
These celebs have dazzled the audience with their incredible dancing skills, all while being partnered with their professional dance counterparts from the 2024 series.
The *Strictly* magic was further amplified by the presence of some of the show’s most popular dancers. Alongside the stars of the show, the tour has also featured the professional dancers that fans have come to know and love, including the talented pros from the 2024 season. As expected, the *Strictly* judges have also been part of the action, with all four of them—Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas, and Anton Du Beke—joining the live tour for the very first time. Their presence has been a delight for fans, making the tour even more authentic to the television series.
No *Strictly* event would be complete without a fantastic host, and this year, the role once again went to the talented Janette Manrara. She has been keeping the show flowing smoothly and ensuring the crowd stays entertained between dance numbers. Janette’s charm and energy have been a highlight of the show, as she helped bring together the fun, excitement, and elegance that fans expect from the *Strictly* experience.
As with all good things, the 2025 Strictly Live tour must come to an end. Fans have been treated to an unforgettable experience, but with Sunday’s performance at the O2 Arena marking the final show of the tour, it’s almost time for the cast and crew to say goodbye—at least until next year. The announcement of the tour’s end has prompted heartfelt messages from the team and fans alike.
The official *Strictly Live* Instagram page shared an emotional post marking the end of the 2025 tour, accompanied by a behind-the-scenes video. The post read: “And just like that, we’ve danced our way to The O2! The final stop of #StrictlyLive is here, with our last performance this Sunday! Thank you to all the incredible fans who’ve made this tour unforgettable—you have all been FAB-U-LOUS! But don’t worry… we’ll see you next year! #SeeYouNextYear #StrictlyComeDancingLive.”
Naturally, fans flooded the comment section with their thoughts, expressing how much they’ve enjoyed the tour and how sad they are to see it come to a close. *One fan*, @lexirosetaylor_, wrote: “So sad it’s coming to an end already,” while @kirstenmccx commented: “One of the best live tours this year, just loved it!

The enthusiasm from fans reflects just how much the *Strictly* Live tour means to its audience, with many eagerly anticipating next year’s edition. From the dazzling performances to the electrifying energy of the crowd, the tour has been a huge success, and it’s clear that the *Strictly* family will be dearly missed until next season.
As the final performance approaches this Sunday, February 9, there’s no doubt that the 2025 Strictly Come Dancing Live tour will be remembered as one of the best yet. Fans are already looking forward to next year’s return, and it’s safe to say that the magic of *Strictly* will live on long after the tour wraps up for 2025.
