One-night-only dance show by Johannes Radebe, star of Strictly Come Dancing and Kinky Boots, bringing his 'Finally Home' tour to the Sunderland Empire.
Johannes Radebe brings his new show, Finally Home, to the Sunderland Empire on Sunday 23 May 2027. It's a one-night-only date, so if you're planning to go, this is the only chance to catch it in the city.
For those who don't know him, Radebe is a dancer and a Strictly Come Dancing host, and he played Lola in the West End musical Kinky Boots. He started dancing at seven in Zamdela, Sasolburg, and left South Africa at 21 to work on the Italian cruise liner Costa. In 2018 he joined the debut season of Dancing With The Stars in South Africa, then toured with Burn The Floor before moving to London to dance on the BBC's flagship show, where he became a breakout star. Partnered with John Whaite, he reached the final in 2021 and picked up 'Media Moment of the Year' at the LGBT Awards and the 'Game Changer Award' at the Attitude Awards.

Finally Home is his latest solo outing, following his previous UK tours Freedom, Freedom Unleashed, and 2024's House of Jojo, all of which sold out across the country. He's also stepped into film choreography, making his debut with the feature Pretty Red Dress in 2022. The show itself is a dance production that combines choreography, vocals, and dance numbers, with Radebe as the main feature. It's a one-night-only performance at the Sunderland Empire on Sunday 23 May 2027.
