The proclaimed “queen of burlesque” Dita Von Teese is returning to Australia in 2026 with a brand-new show, Nocturnelle.
Presented by TEG Dainty, she will captivate audiences with the enchanting show in August 2026, visiting theatres in Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, and Brisbane.
With Nocturnelle, Von Teese unveils a bewitching new vision — an exquisite blend of old-Hollywood allure, theatrical magic, and the high-art “Stripscapes” she is known for. Inspired by the magicians of the 19th century, this production conjures a world of wonder where sensuality meets magic.
Commenting on the tour, Von Teese said: “Nocturnelle is my most glambitious show yet. It’s where sophisticated striptease meets the spellbinding art of illusion.
“Learning from master magicians and diving into the secrets of vintage magic, I set out to create something uniquely enchanting… it’s the art of the Teese, plus a little trickery, and a whole lot of glitz,” she added.

The tour follows her record-breaking ‘Glamonatrix Tour’ which remains the biggest touring burlesque show of all time, spanning multiple continents over a five-year period. With Nocturnelle, Von Teese hopes to raise the bar yet again with a production that is opulent, and richly imaginative.
Often imitated but never duplicated, Von Teese remains in a class of her own. Her shows have garnered the attention of celebrities across the world, with recent attendees including Harry Styles, Jean Paul Gaultier, Olivia Wilde, Tim Burton, Pamela Anderson, Jon Hamm, Christina Hendricks, Josh Groban, Prince Albert II of Monaco, and Leslie Caron.
She has sold-out some of the world’s grandest venues, and has led the way as a designer, collaborator and entrepreneur, with forays in fashion, beauty, music, publishing, spirits and entertainment production.
Tickets go on sale at 10am on Monday, November 10th, via TEG Dainty.
