2026 can’t come soon enough, as that is when Dita Von Teese, the queen of burlesque, will be returning to the UK. Touring her most enchanting show yet, Dita will be bringing a beautiful mix of old Hollywood glamour and theatrical magic to several UK stages.
Inspired by the magicians of the 19th century, Dita is known for creating worlds of wonder, where sensuality meets magic. Her touring burlesque shows are always opulent and richly imaginative, drawing in all-star attendees such as Pamela Anderson, Christina Hendricks and Golden age star, Leslie Caron.

Her latest show, Nocturnelle, follows her record-breaking Galonatrix tour, which is still the biggest touring burlesque show of all time. Talking about the show, Dita said, “Nocturnelle is my most glambitious show yet. It’s where sophisticated striptease meets the spellbinding art of illusion.”
The show will be taken to stages in Manchester, London, Birmingham, Stockton and Edinburgh across January and February 2026. Tickets will be available from 6 June, and can be booked online.
