Are you having a laugh? Well, you will be if you wake up early on Friday 4th December for 11am - a brand new wave of Peter Kay tickets will be up for grabs for, er, the tour that wasn't originally going to tour but is now an actual tour, honest guv. In short, Kay has been so overwhelmed with the reaction to the recently sold-out Manchester gigs (all 20 of 'em), that he has announced dates in seven cities for 2010.....and even the year after. It's a fairly unprecedented move to advertise this far in advance but there we go. Such is the demand.

After Manchester (April 27th - May 22nd), the tour (that does tour) will hit a few firework display attendances by resuming at the O2 Arena, London on November 5th , as well as the 6th and 7th. Three dates in the capital? Well, there is a gap between London and the next stop, Newcastle's Metro Radio Arena for three dates, Nov 12th, 13th and 14th. Cardiff will play host on Nov 19th, 20th and 21st before the tour treks up to Sheffield's Arena for another trio of dates, Nov 26th, 27th and 28th. There will then be a four month break before our Peter heads off to the Midlands for three dates in Birmingham's National Indoor Arena on (Apr 8th - 10th), Glasgow from 15th - 16th April, before Kay heads down to Liverpool for the final trio of performances at the city's Echo Arena. They say good things come in threes....

Peter's initial twenty dates sold out in hours so get online 11am sharpish - Friday 4th Dec is the date to remember.
