DARLINGTON drag queen Cherry Valentine is heading to North-East theatres alongside RuPaul’s Drag Race UK legends in the UK’s biggest ever Drag Race tour - which has added an extra date for Newcastle and a new Stockton date.

Drag royalty will Ru-Turn in 2022 for the UK’s Drag Race tour, with the original 19-date tour being extended to 41 as shows sell out across the country.

Fans can join the queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK for an evening of endless eleganza extravaganza at Newcastle O2 City Hall on Monday, February 7, and now on Thursday, April 7.

A later date at Stockton’s Globe Theatre has also been added, with the queens coming back to the region on Friday, April 8, 2022.

The tour will feature UK Season 2 winner Lawrence Chaney alongside A'Whora, Asttina Mandella, Bimini Bon-Boulash, Ellie Diamond, Ginny Lemon, Joe Black, Sister Sister, Tayce, Tia Kofi and Veronica Green.

Darlington-born queen Cherry Valentine will also join the line up. 

While the Season 2 stars have all been confirmed, organisers say the case may be subject to change.

The Official RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series Two Tour is presented by Werq The World producers Voss Events and creators of Drag Race World of Wonder, in cooperation with Live Nation and Cuffe and Taylor.

Ben Hatton, Director of Theatre Touring for Cuffe and Taylor, said: “The excitement for this tour is incredible so we have decided to add extra dates across the UK.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is always a huge hit so we look forward to presenting a series of outrageously entertaining shows starring all the queens from Series 2 of Drag Race UK.”

Tickets are available here with the extra dates going on sale at 10am on Friday, April 9.
