He's announced new dates after unprecedented demand for tickets
The demand for Peter Kay's first tour in 12 years has been 'huge' - and the Bolton comedian has now announced more dates. New dates have been added in cities including Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham but the brains behind Phoenix Nights has yet to confirm any more nights at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena, where he will perform on Friday, July 14, and Saturday, July 15, next year.
Virgin Media, O2 and Three customers were offered early bird tickets two days early. O2 and Virgin - which are part of the same company - said it was the highest demand there'd been for priority tickets in 15 years. And Three added there'd been "a huge demand".Four new extra dates have been added at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham. The Car Share star will be performing there on Friday, April 21, Friday, June 2, Friday, July 28, and Tuesday, August 29.
In 2010, Kay - also much-loved for Phoenix Nights spin off Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere, in which he co-starred with close friend and fellow Bolton comedian Paddy McGuinness - set a world record for the biggest-selling comedy tour, playing to more than 1.2m people.
