In 2021, Nadiya co-headlined the first show to reopen the London Palladium after the pandemic, ‘Here Come The Boys’, alongside fellow Strictly professionals Aljaž Škorjanec , Graziano Di Prima*,* Nikita Kuzmin and Pasha Kovalev, before touring the show across the UK in the summer of 2022.
Nadiya then co-headlined successful UK tours Once Upon A Time (2023) and Behind The Magic (2024) with fellow Strictly professional dancer Kai Widdrington.
Looking ahead to the tour, Nadiya said, “This is going to be amazing! I am so excited to be touring **Jukebox Idols next summer with The Overtones. They are the best vocal harmony group in the UK and it’s going to be wonderful sharing the stage with them. The entire cast is at the top of their game so the show is going to be a perfect fusion of song and dance. We can’t wait for you to see it.”
The Overtones added, “*The *Jukebox Idols tour is truly something special, and we’re thrilled to be part of it! This feel-good music and dance spectacular blends the best of two worlds, delivering a fresh, high-energy spin on timeless entertainment that’s perfect for everyone.
