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.
viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.
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."

I wore five-finger shoes to the office — and my colleagues weren't on board
Nobody could have predicted the hot girl shoe of the summer would have five fingers, but Vibram's FiveFingers are having a moment. They're basically a glove for your feet, with a separate space for every single toe. Not up your street? I'm afraid to tell you that you're falling off trend. These freaky toe shoes are designed for barefoot running enthusiasts, but more recently, they've been appearing on the feet of A-listers and attendees of New York Fashion Week. They're plastered all over social media as the must-have shoe this year, with fashion girlies even wearing them to work. So after getting hold of some, I decided to give them a whirl for my 8-5. I was initially too embarrassed to put them on, so I let a poll on my Instagram story, titled 'Should I wear Vibram five-finger shoes to the office?', make up my mind. And after the majority (71%) voted yes, I had no choice other than to be brave and slip on the controversial footwear. Getting them on took much longer than I had anticipated – around 10 minutes to slot each toe into the individual spaces – which almost made me late for work. The experience was off to a less-than-perfect start, but I got there on time after a surprisingly speedy commute — something I'm prepared to credit to the shoes' lightweight and minimalist design. That said, I felt strangely uncomfortable throughout most of the journey. At least four people checked out my toes for much longer than a glance. They couldn't look away, as if they'd never seen a girl wearing gloves on her feet. The reception for the shoes was no better from my colleagues once I arrived at the office. One called them 'creepy', another said 'toes freak me out', while a third, very unconvincingly, said, 'they look cool'. At least they all agreed the pink colour was nice. It was hard not to be self-conscious with so many strong opinions floating around. I felt shamed into taking the stairs back down for lunch, desperate to avoid the staring – or, heaven forbid, having to defend my choice of footwear – in the lift. But after taking a quick break and walking around the park, I realised two things: these shoes are actually really comfy, and the cynics are severely missing out. Those unwilling to embrace them are not just lacking comfort, but fashion taste too. At least, according to social media anyway. Influencers are desperate to get their hands (feet?) on some, including one who claimed 'they're the comfiest shoe I've ever owned'. Meanwhile, others have lamented the fact they can't find them anywhere due to the recent spike in popularity. Vibrams have been around since 2006 though, and this isn't their first shot at the limelight. Back in 2012, actress Shailene Woodley wore a pair to the Golden Globes after-party. The distinctive shoe was pictured pointing out under her floor-length black velvet dress, and sparked a similar wave of public confusion at the time. Scarlett Johansson and David Beckham have also been papped sporting them. But aside from that brief 15 minutes, they'd mainly kept a clientele of middle-aged male runners. Until now, that is. Chris Wilson, chairman of Charles Birch Ltd, which owns Vibram UK, tells me 'barefoot is back,' as I try on a pair of the shoes in its Shoreditch HQ. Despite this, he can't believe the renaissance Vibrams are experiencing. They're flying off the shelves and into the baskets of 20-something women who want to show them off online, with Chris estimating that He tells me around 70% of their purchases nowadays are from young women. And it's evident in the shop. One customer I met had travelled all the way from Milan to the London location to buy a pair, reluctantly dragging her two friends – who are yet to convert to the style – along. 'I love them,' she proclaimed in defiance. According to Chris, one of the brand's most popular styles, a ballet-like slipper, has appeared on the feet of popstars he's 'never even heard of', and he says they've sold out of their next two orders. However, even if it looks like a trend at fever pitch, barefoot footwear has been on the rise for a while. The idea behind these shoes is to mimic the experience of walking or running au naturel, while providing some kind of protection for the feet. They usually have a thin, flexible sole and a wide toe box to allow your toes to naturally spread. It started largely as trend for health-conscious consumers, but fashionistas began promoting barefoot shoes online, and more and more brands followed suit with their own spin. @egorchan4in ♬ The Weeknd come through – alisha.ﾒ૦ Balenciaga collaborated with Vibram in 2020 to create a heeled version of the shoe, later dropping a $350 3D-moulded barefoot sandal called 'The Zero', which barely covered the big toe. Maison Margiela Tabis are another controversial barefoot shoe which have boomed in popularity over the past couple of years, retailing for between £820 and £1,190 online. More Trending Featuring a split between the big toe and the other four, they resemble a cow's hoof, and are inspired by the traditional 15th-century Japanese sock of the same name designed promote balance and stability. But even though loyals have been banging the barefoot drum for the best part of two decades, not everyone is ready for this style of shoe to go mainstream — as the reactions of both my colleagues and those online will attest to. TikToker @emmahopeall shared a video wearing Vibrams on the Tube, saying that everyone was 'laughing' at them. It didn't help matters though, as commenters declared them 'terrifying' and said wearing them outside was 'diabolical.' While others had real concerns – including one who wrote: 'I'd just be scared someone will step on my toes' – for the most part, the response was trepidatious. Having felt the fear and worn them anyway however, I can safely say I'm a convert. Although I've been very much influenced to wear the viral Vibrams, not all of my workmates feel the same way. Metro's assistant opinion and first-person editor James Besanvalle was gifted a pair of Vibram's back in 2011 while working at a sports shop. 'I would never have bought them for myself,' he says. James wore them a total of 10 times to go running outdoors. The only issue? A lack of support: 'My feet were sore every time I wore them, and it felt like they were constantly separating my toes.' Sophie Laughton, Metro newsletter editor, also has strong opinions, saying: 'There's a man who I regularly see walking to the station who wears them and the sight of his little rubber toes gripping the pavement makes me gag.'

She revealed to fans she now weighs under 50kg, which is 7st 8lb - and underweight for her 5'4" frame. But with the combined weight of her 2120cc breast implants removed - which are thought to weigh around 4.87lb each - her implant-free body is closer to 6st 10lb. That puts her BMI at 16.2 which is below the healthy range and in the underweight category (18.5 and under). Former glamour model Katie, 47, first sparked worry over her shrinking appearance at the start of the year. She previously hit out at critics who shared their concerns over her weight loss and denied she was using skinny jabs. She declared: "I don't need the Ozempic. I never have done. I've always been skinny. Look at old pictures of me. Always been tiny." It comes as Katie jetted to Turkey for more surgery over the weekend. The star escaped her 'rift' with daughter Princess following the release of her new ITV docuseries, The Princess Diaries. She shared snaps from the trip and showed off her puffy face. Katie Price's ex in apology to Princess over split she said devastated childhood Originally planned to be 'his and her' surgeries with boyfriend JJ Slater, Katie ended up going under the knife alone due to issues surrounding JJ's Type 1 diabetes. A bandaged-up Katie was then pictured walking through a hotel restaurant in tracksuit bottoms and a tank top. Now fans have begged her to stop going under the knife - as the latest surgery comes less than a year since she had another facelift as well as a 'fox-eye lift' at the Trio Clinic in Istanbul. Writing beneath her latest Instagram post, one said: "Stop with the surgery and botox for your own good. Another begged: "You've made yourself look like an old woman, just stop for the love of god."
