Dance troupe Diversity have announced presale tickets for their upcoming Supernova tour that will stop in 44 towns and cities across the UK.

Founded by dancer and presenter Ashley Banjo, the group rose to fame during their stint on Britain’s Got Talent and, more than a decade on, they’re still going strong.

Giving fans across the country something to look forward to, they released a video teasing the extravaganza that’s set to be one of their biggest tours yet.

Calling it The Supernova Tour, presale tickets will go on sale this Friday, November 18 at 10am for locations including Eastbourne, Northampton, Nottingham, Portsmouth and Cornwall.

Posting an explosive reel hinting at what audiences can expect from the event, the announcement said: ‘We’re so excited to announce we will be touring with a brand new show!

Fans were quick to virtually share their delight and excitement following the news as congratulatory comments poured in.

One wrote: ‘Can I afford it?! Nope but will I be there Yes yes I will!!! [sic]’

‘Yesssss can’t wait to see you again!! [sic]’, was another’s response.

Members of the group took time out to share their own joy at heading back out on the road with Perri Kiely posting: ‘HERE WE GO AGAIN!! [sic]’ and wife of Ashley, Francesca confirming: ‘It’s happening’.

Beginning next October, the tour schedule will continue on into 2024 where it will finish its run in April 2024 at Wolverhampton Civic Hall.

This new showcase follows in the wake of the troop’s current sold-out Connected tour that combined comedic routines with routines that made statements on human connectivity.

Never ones to shy away from promoting activism through dance, the group made their mark after winning a Bafta for their take on The Black Lives Matter movement during a performance on Britain’s Got Talent.

Bagging them the award for Virgin Media’s Must-See Moment of 2020, the routine that walked viewers through what happened to George Floyd and the incident’s aftermath, caused a stir after receiving thousands of Ofcom complaints.
