DWTS 2026 Tour Brings Big Names and Bigger Excitement
The energy around Dancing With the Stars is already high as season 34 wraps up, but the excitement has been kicked up even further with the reveal of major details for the 2026 live tour. It was announced during the season finale that Danielle Fishel, Andy Richter and Elaine Hendrix will be joining Emma Slater as cohosts throughout the tour — and fans immediately took notice. The tour has even been extended, so audiences will get more chances next year to see their favorite dancers in person.
It was also revealed that several special guests will be popping up in select cities. Names like Alix Earle, Dylan Efron, Jordan Chiles, Robert Irwin and Witney Carson have been confirmed, so audiences can expect a lively mix of personalities joining the pros onstage. The tour’s official Instagram teased the announcement a day before by posting a group photo of previously announced cast members, including Emma Slater, Val Chmerkovskiy, Jenna Johnson and others, hinting that something big was coming.

The core lineup of professional dancers is strong as well. Brandon Armstrong, Alan Bersten, Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, Britt Stewart and Ezra Sosa will all be part of the live shows. Hailey Bills — who happens to be Jenna Johnson’s niece — will also be hitting the road with the troupe. The tour kicks off in January, meaning the cast is already gearing up for rehearsals, travel and performing almost nightly.
However, one familiar face won’t be joining the group this year. Rylee Arnold shared last month that she made the difficult decision to step away from the tour to focus on her health, especially while managing Type 1 diabetes on the road. She called her past two years on tour “the most amazing experience ever” and said the memories she made are unforgettable, but taking care of herself had to come first. Ezra Sosa publicly supported her, calling the decision brave and mature, and reminding her how inspiring it is to prioritize well-being in such a demanding industry.
Although rumors have circulated about Rylee’s future on the show, she recently shut them down. She shared that pros never know if they’re returning until summertime and explained that outside speculation is simply “noise.” She made it clear she would love to return for future seasons and is staying focused on doing her best.
With a stacked cast, multiple cohosts, an exciting list of special guests and fans already buzzing, the DWTS 2026 tour is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated live dance events of the year.
