Where else will Peter Kay perform?

So far at the time of publication, the two Liverpool shows are the only ones from the ‘Dance for Life’ tour in 2022 that have been given a rescheduled date.

• M&S Bank Arena, Liverpool
• Alexandra Palace, London

How can I get tickets to the Liverpool show?

There is huge demand for tickets to Peter Kay’s return to touring when he visits Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena in August 2022.

At the time of publication, there is very limited availability for both of the 48-year-old’s shows in the city.

According to the event’s ticketing partner Ticketmaster, general admission for the 19 August show is completely sold out, with only one ticket available on resale priced at £37.53.

A similar case for the 20 August show too, which is completely sold out with one ticket available on resale from £37.53.

If for whatever reason you are desperate for a ticket to Peter Kay’s tour dates in Liverpool in 2022, keep an eye on ticketing exchange websites such as Viagogo and Twickets.

Will Peter Kay tour in 2023?

According to numerous reports, Peter Kay is set to make his long-awaited return to touring, with a number of the UK’s biggest entertainment venues and arenas lined up.

His last show dates back to 2011, but sources state that the Farnworth-born comic will visit the likes of Manchester, London and Birmingham during the currently unannounced 2023 tour.

One of his closest friends, fellow comedian Jason Manford, told a Dublin radio station (FM104) that fan’s should keep an eye out for a huge Peter Kay tour:

“He’s great, Pete. We’ve known each other a long time, it must be 25 years. It’s been a hell of a ride,” said Jason, 40.

“He’s just an absolute legend isn’t he? What a treasure. Hopefully back himself soon, doing stand-up, so keep your eye out for his tour. Not that he needs you to buy a ticket as much as I do.”

Reports suggest that Peter Kay will announce a huge 2023 tour in September of this year - bringing an end to a near-12-year absence from the stage.
