After headlining many of the UK’s most prestigious venues, including The London Palladium and The Royal Albert Hall, The Overtones have also performed at incredible events such as The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee at Buckingham Palace and singing to over one million people at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
Nadiya Bychkova, originally from Ukraine, is a two-time World Champion and European Champion in Ballroom and Latin '10' Dance, winning in 2014 and 2015. She is also a multiple-time Slovenian Ballroom and Latin Champion and has participated in the Bosnian version of Strictly Come Dancing.
Following her success, in 2017, she was invited to join the UK’s cast of professional dancers on Strictly Come Dancing, and has since partnered EastEnders star Davood Ghadami, Blue’s Lee Ryan, professional footballer David James, TV presenter Dan Walker, Bros’ Matt Goss and Olympian Tom Dean.
In 2021, Nadiya co-headlined the first show to reopen the London Palladium after the pandemic, ‘Here Come The Boys’, alongside fellow Strictly professionals Aljaž Škorjanec , Graziano Di Prima, Nikita Kuzmin and Pasha Kovalev, before touring the show across the UK in the summer of 2022.
Nadiya then co-headlined successful UK tours Once Upon A Time (2023) and Behind The Magic (2024) with fellow Strictly professional dancer Kai Widdrington.
Looking ahead to the tour, Nadiya said, "This is going to be amazing! I am so excited to be touring Jukebox Idols next summer with The Overtones. They are the best vocal harmony group in the UK and it’s going to be wonderful sharing the stage with them. The entire cast is at the top of their game so the show is going to be a perfect fusion of song and dance. We can’t wait for you to see it."
The Overtones added, "The Jukebox Idols tour is truly something special, and we're thrilled to be part of it! This feel-good music and dance spectacular blends the best of two worlds, delivering a fresh, high-energy spin on timeless entertainment that’s perfect for everyone. Sharing the stage every night with the incredible five-time world champion, Nadiya, alongside some of the UK’s most exceptional dancers is, to excuse the pun, 'strictly' an honour. This isn’t just a show – it’s an electrifying experience that takes entertainment to the next level.
“We’re bringing our all to this, and we know our fans are going to love every second of it. So, get ready for an unforgettable night – we can’t wait to see you there!"
