BUTTTOOTKING RETURNS WITH AN ALL-NEW 2026 HALLOWEEN TOUR ACROSS 21 CITIES
RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17 standouts Suzie Toot, Kori King and Lydia B Kollins reunite for a U.S. tour filled with camp, comedy, theatrical spectacle and special guests!
NEW YORK, NEW YORK — FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2026 — BUTTTOOTKING, the hit touring event bringing drag, comedy and chaos to the stage, today announced its return with an all-new 2026 Halloween tour starring RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17 standouts Suzie Toot, Kori King and Lydia B Kollins. The 21-market U.S. tour kicks off October 1 in Washington, D.C., and travels across the country before a Halloween-night finale in Pittsburgh.
Tickets and current market information are available at BUTTTOOTKING.com.
Built around the trio’s chemistry and distinct performance styles, BUTTTOOTKING brings Suzie’s vintage theatricality, Kori’s internet-sharpened comedy, and Lydia’s delightfully off-kilter visual imagination into one live event. Rather than three separate acts sharing a bill, the show turns their contrasts, friendship and comic rhythm into the main attraction.
The 2026 tour follows a wildly successful BUTTTOOTKING’s 2025 tour, which sold out in 18 of 21 cities and went on to launch an 8-city tour in Europe, along with 5 tour stops in Australia and New Zealand. The tour returns this year with a new Halloween edition. Costumes are encouraged at every stop, with a costume contest in each city — inviting Buttholes, Tooters, Kingdom and first-timers alike to become part of the night.
The tour also arrives amid major individual momentum for all three performers. Suzie has continued expanding her signature mix of tap, vaudeville, comedy and theatrical drag through solo work following her Drag Race run and 2025 Out100 recognition. Kori has grown into a major comedy and digital personality, signing with CAA in 2026 and extending her live and online career. Lydia returned to the franchise for RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 10, advancing to become a top 3 finalist. Kori and Lydia also co-star in the WOW Presents Plus series Pillow Talk with ButtKing.
Together, the three turn BUTTTOOTKING into a traveling night out where polished showmanship, online chaos, and beautifully strange drag all occupy the same stage.
BUTTTOOTKING is produced by Flip Phone Events, Fiercely You Entertainment, and Michael Benedetti Studio and sponsored by MISTR.
