New dates announced

Peter Kay has announced six more ‘farewell’ dates to mark the end of his mammoth tour.

He will play the London O2 Arena on June 8 and 9 next year, Birmingham’s NEC on June 16 and 17 and Manchester’s MEN Arena – where it all started – on October 18 and 19.

Kay began the tour in April this year with a record-breaking 20 consecutive nights at the MEN. He was also the first stand-up to play ten sold-out nights at the O2.

Overall, the tour has visited more than 100 arenas and sold more than a million tickets, worth around £35million.

Box offices for the new dates open at 10am on Monday.
