Due to phenomenal demand Diversity have added an extra date at Wales’ brand-new venue Swansea Arena for Tuesday 7th June 2022.  Diversity’s ‘Connected’ 2022 tour now takes in a staggering 79 shows, their biggest ever tour to date. The tour will now visit 34 towns and cities across the UK and Ireland over four months from March 17th to June 19th.  Tickets for the extra date go onsale Friday 17th September at 10am at www.gigsandtours.com.

Diversity took the nation by storm when they won the third series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2009 and have so far sold out nine UK and Irish tours, sold over 600,000 tickets, with countless television and live performances.

Over the past 12 years thanks to the overwhelming support of their fans and the British public they have continued to wow audiences and inspire people around the world. Ashley and Jordan Banjo are passionate about their storytelling on stage and recently put pen to paper to release their first children’s book FLY HIGH CREW. ‘Fly High Crew’ out now via Scholastic is a brilliantly fun story that champions inclusivity, the importance of teamwork, realising your dreams and is centralised by Ashley and Jordan’s sibling relationship and dynamic.

Apart from their incredible live shows, Diversity are undoubtedly certified TV superstars. Ashley Banjo returned as a judge on Dancing on Ice earlier this year.  Ashley is also host and creative in the BAFTA nominated The Real Full Monty and International Emmy Award, Broadcast Award, and Royal Television Society award winning The Real Full Monty: Ladies Night, with both shows raising awareness of Prostate and Breast Cancer respectively. Ashley was also behind two hit series of Flirty Dancing on Channel 4 and appeared as a guest judge in place of Simon Cowell on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent last year. Ashley also hosted brand new Saturday night show for ITV, The Void over the summer.

Fellow Diversity member Jordan Banjo hosted two series of BBC 1’s primetime and BAFTA nominated show The Greatest Dancer. Jordan along with Perri Kiely are also part of breakfast radio royalty, presenting Kiss Breakfast every weekday.

Collectively Diversity recently won Virgin Media’s Must-See Moment of 2020 at the British Academy Television Awards for their incredible Britain’s Got Talent routine inspired by the events of last year, watch again here.

Diversity’s illustrious career shows how they continue to innovate, grow, and achieve.  This new tour evolution proves just how far they’ve come with their biggest UK and Ireland run to date. Tickets for the extra dates to Diversity’s connected tour 2022 are onsale Friday 17th September at 10am at www.gigsandtours.com. All other dates are onsale now.
