BenDeLaCreme to host Dita Von Teese's 2026 UK & Europe tour

Global drag icon BenDeLaCreme will host the queen of burlesque Dita Von Teese’s Nocturnelle 2026 UK & Europe tour. From LA’s Dolby Theater to NY’s Carnegie Hall, BenDeLaCreme has starred in, directed, written, and produced some of the most successful original drag theatre work of all time. Before she became a global touring sensation and breakout star on two seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race, DeLa got her start as a drag and burlesque performer while she pursued a BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

With Nocturnelle, Dita Von Teese unveils a bewitching new vision – an exquisite blend of old-Hollywood allure, theatrical magic, and the high-art “stripscapes” Dita is known for. Inspired by the magicians of the 19th century, this production conjures a world of wonder where sensuality meets magic. The Nocturnelle tour follows Dita’s record-breaking Glamonatrix tour which remains the biggest touring burlesque show of all-time, spanning multiple continents over a five year period.

BenDeLaCreme says, “As a lover of burlesque and a long time admirer of Dita’s artistry, this is truly a dream come true! I am incredibly honoured that this titan of tease has asked me to host her monumental new production! Watch out world, cuz there’s no way to prepare for the Dita/DeLa one-two punch!”

Dita Von Teese says, “As a big fan, I’m absolutely over the moon to have BenDeLaCreme join forces with me, leading the Nocturnelle tour as our host. I know audiences will adore the glamorous hilarity of DeLa just as much as I do. I cannot wait to kick off this tour with one of my favourite queens in showbiz!”
