Bianca Del Rio announces huge UK tour
The superstar will also be performing the biggest UK headline drag show ever.
RuPaul’s Drag Race champion Bianca Del Rio has announced her biggest UK tour to date, performing across the country in September 2019. The newly announced dates include the biggest ever headline UK drag show, seeing Bianca take to London’s SSE Arena Wembley on Saturday 21 September.
The shows follow her sell-out UK tours, which recently included three sold out nights at London’s Eventim Apollo.
“I’ve been told I’ll be the first drag queen to headline at Wembley Arena,” Bianca Del Rio announces. “I’m excited…but also concerned that they aren’t prepared for glitter and wig hair clogs in the dressing room sinks! I’m incredibly grateful to perform at this beloved British venue before the retirement home comes knocking for me!”

Titled the It’s Jester Joke tour, the shows will see Del Rio tell tales of her recent travels and delve inside the circus that is her life. The winner of the sixth season of the cultural phenomenon RuPaul’s Drag Race promises to touch on politics, travel, family and social media.
Since winning the show, Bianca Del Rio has grown a following on Instagram to in excess of one million, and has sold out global tours such as The Rolodex of Hate, Not Today Satan, and Blame It On Bianca Del Rio.
