Dance stars Diversity book Bonus Arena date, and ask audiences to support anti-poverty charity

By Simon Bristow

Dance superstars Diversity are to play a matinee performance at Hull’s Bonus Arena as part of a UK and Ireland tour announced this evening.

Coinciding with an appearance on BBC’s The One Show at 7pm tonight, the group has announced a 66-date tour in 2023 and 2024 that includes an appearance in Hull on the afternoon of Sunday, February 18, 2024.

Tickets for the Supernova tour, that will visit 40 towns and cities, go on sale at 10am on Friday and will be available from gigsandtours.com and ticketmaster.co.uk.

Supernova follows Diversity’s sold-out Connected tour earlier this year, which combined “playful, comedic routines with powerful statements on human connectivity”.

Diversity won the third series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2009 and have since sold out multiple UK and Irish tours.

Diversity will be supporting anti-poverty charity The Trussell Trust, which provides emergency food and support to people locked in poverty while campaigning for change to end the need for food banks in the UK.

Tour audiences are being invited to bring food donations to the shows, where there will be collection points at venues. There will also be collection buckets for cash donations. All donations will be distributed to people in crisis across the 1,300 food bank centres in the Trussell Trust network, the group said.
