Following her sold-out 2024/2025 Australian, US, UK and European tour, Barber is now bringing her high-energy performance to nine regional cities she’s never performed in before, giving fans in previously unvisited areas the chance to experience her signature blend of humour and storytelling — live and in person.
Due to overwhelming demand, Celeste will also return her fun-filled outrageous night of laughs to Sydney and Melbourne for special encore shows.
Backup Dancer dives into everything from social satire to awkward personal anecdotes and her lifelong dream to be a backup dancer for Janet Jackson, all delivered with Barber’s trademark wit, physical comedy, and unfiltered charm. The world tour has been a phenomenal success, with nearly 100,000 tickets sold across North America, Europe, Dubai, the UK, New Zealand, and Australia throughout 2024 and 2025.
