Peter Kay releases more tickets for sold-out tour after breaking records

More tickets have been released for Peter Kay's stand-up tour, it's been announced this week. The comedian is continuing his Better Late Than Never tour, with a number of shows still to come ahead of its conclusion next year.

Peter, 52, launched the tour in 2022 and it has since been named one of the most globally successful tours of last year. He's still on the tour, rebranded as Better Late Than Never Again, which is scheduled to end in June next year.

Through the tour, he's become the first artist to hold a monthly residency at the O2 in London. Peter previously described the opportunity to perform at the arena as an "absolute honour" and has another show there this month.

It's now been announced that extra tickets for his upcoming show at the O2 on July 26 have been released "due to phenomenal demand". The news was shared with fans this afternoon, including through his social media pages.

Announcing that tickets are on sale now, a post on an Instagram page for Peter read: "The record-breaking three-year residency continues. Astonishing 32nd show! Saturday 26th July - extra tickets due to phenomenal demand."

Standard tickets for the gig are available through AXS from £41.50 at the time of writing. Premium Seating and resale tickets are available through the provider for the show too. Tickets are also available through other providers.

Peter launched his tour in Manchester three years ago. He's set to return to the AO Arena in the city on July 25, the night before his upcoming gig in London. He's then scheduled to take a break before resuming the tour in September.

The release of more tickets for his show at the O2 comes ahead of the comedian's memoir Peter Kay's Diary being published later this year. The book, which was announced just weeks ago, is currently scheduled to be released in October.

Ahead of its release in three months, it has been described as his "most personal and hilarious book yet". The upcoming memoir is said to take readers on a "laugh-out-loud journey through his life, month by month".

It's thought that Peter will discuss it with radio host Sara Cox at the Lowry's Lyric Theatre in Salford on September 14. Tickets for Peter Kay In Conversation with Sara Cox, which will have a matinee and an evening show, went on sale last month.

The venue apologised at the time over "issues" regarding booking tickets, with it telling fans that it was sorry for "any inconvenience caused". It was later said to have "resolved" them and announced that the two events had sold out.

The Lowry had said: "Peter Kay in conversation with Sara Cox is now sold out! Thank you for your patience while we resolved the issues with our ticketing systems."
