Strictly Come Dancing stars are set to bring their new show to Southend.

Brendan Cole, James Jordan, Pasha Kovalev, Vincent Simone, and Ian Waite have announced their return to theatres across the UK in 2026 with their new show, "Vegas: After Hours".

After the successful tours of Legends of The Dance Floor in 2024 and The Return of The Legends in 2025, the show will capture the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas.

The 30-date tour will start on October 3 in Fareham, and finish in Dartford on November 10.

The show will appear at the Cliffs Pavilion, in Southend, on October 16.

Brendan Cole said: "Anyone who saw our last two shows will tell you that a Vegas-themed show is the perfect next step for us.

"We are the Rat Pack of dance, and we’re going to have a Vegas-style party."

Vincent Simone added: "As if I haven’t got myself into enough trouble every single night of our last two tours together, our brand new show is inspired by Sin City.

"What could possibly go wrong? I can’t wait for everybody to find out."

A venue pre-sale will begin at 10am on Wednesday, October 15, before tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday, October 17.

They will be available from the venues, Ticketmaster, and via www.legendsofthedancefloor.com.
