Now, it has revealed that three veteran stars will be taking part in the tour - including one soap icon who hasn't been seen on screens for 24 years.
Current show legend Bill Roache and Barbara Knox, known for their roles as Ken Barlow and Rita Tanner, have both agreed to appear at two stops of the tour each.
Bill will appear for one of the show's Salford performances as well as the date at Sunderland's Empire Theatre.
Whilst those hoping to catch Barbara, she will appear at the second Salford performance as well as in the capital, London.
But someone that fans may be shocked to learn is putting in an appearance is Amanda Barrie.
Amanda was famed for playing the role of Alma Halliwell for 20 years before she was killed off the soap.
But now she will be chatting all things Corrie once more by agreeing to appear on the tour.
Amanda will join the cast in Sheffield and Glasgow to reminisce on her time walking the famous cobbles.
The six-show tour will be fronted by This Morning star Sharon Marshall with a whole host of current Corrie favourites appearing at the various dates.
Jack P. Shepherd, Samia Longchambon, Andy Whyment and Simon Gregson are all among the cast who are hoping to cash in by participating in the tour.

Jane Danson, Vicky Myers and Sam Aston will also all be taking part.
The cast are understood to be able to command a fee for their appearance on the tour - allowing them to top up their soap income in a rare move.
Soap stars are often forbidden from seeking employment and cash from anywhere outside of the soap.

On her @bayleewhiteasheck account, she showed how she used a piece of cardboard to ensure the prints were spaced apart evenly. Two hours of stamping later, and her laundry room had gone from plain white to being covered in the gorgeous floral print. Baylee said: 'You know what? It worked out for me.' And she wasn't done yet. She added that she then added a hanging basket to the wall, along with some artwork a friend had made her. Showing off the finished result, she added: 'And that's my perfect, precious, gorgeous, beautiful cottage laundry room makeover for three dollars and fifty cents. 'Feeling absolutely unstoppable after finishing this project in two hours after putting my baby down. 'Maybe I'll like doing laundry now.' Many people will be hugely impressed with the DIY tip, which has racked up over 50,000 likes. I live in a council house with no storage & made a dream dressing table for £21… it's great for those with limited space One person commented: 'A tutorial I could actually follow and afford?!' Another added: 'I fear I must go do this now.' And a third wrote: 'I'm flabbergasted by how smart and easy this is.'

TikTok user @lifeatthelma showed how she had picked out a gorgeous sage green paint and had then taped a decorative stencil to the wall. She thought everything had gone swimmingly, until she peeled back the stencil to reveal her hard work. To her horror, the paint had spread until the stencil and it looked messy and not like the design she had wanted. After she pulled off a larger section, she joked: 'But do we think it is giving cottage core (the goal) or chain link fence?'

Kanye West and Bianca Censori tangle tongues in over-the-top PDA at South Korean party ahead of his concert
The pair are in the country ahead of Kanye's concert GET A ROOM! Kanye West and Bianca Censori tangle tongues in over-the-top PDA at South Korean party ahead of his concert Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KANYE West has put on an over-the-top PDA display with wife Bianca Censori as the couple got intimate at a South Korea party. The couple, who were plagued by split rumours earlier this year, have seemingly proved their love is stronger than ever before with a wildly public display of affection. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Kanye West and Bianca Censori got playful with one another's tongues in South Korea Credit: Instagram 4 They danced the night away ahead of his concert in the country Credit: Instagram In a new video, Kanye and Bianca can be seen inter-twining tongues during a hot and heavy makeout session at a late-night party in South Korea. The rapper has travelled to the country for a headline concert this weekend but it seems he is making the most of his free time with wife Bianca whilst in the country. In the eye-popping clip, the couple can be seen dancing close with one another and surrounded by their pals. Strutting his stuff, Kanye had his hands above his head as he danced seductively with wife Bianca placing her hands around his body. The pair appeared to take a dip at the knees as his body began to lower onto hers whilst she stuck her tongue out playfully. Holding her tongue over the rapper's mouth, he soon stuck his own out as they caressed each other with their tongues in a public open-mouth kiss. Bianca appeared to be wearing a skimpy see-through top whilst Kanye kept his eyed hidden by a pair of shades. The couple haven't been spotted out in public as much over the last few weeks with Bianca instead turning up the head with a slew of seductive posts in barely-there underwear and outfits on Instagram. The Aussie model has been sharing several sets of Polaroid photos taken by her husband of late. In all of the snaps, Bianca is stood in front of a white backdrop while showing off her famous curves. Kanye West 'paid' Bianca Censori $100k to wear candy bra and thong in NYC after she 'first told him no' This November will mark the couple's third wedding anniversary. Shortly after Kanye's divorce from Kim Kardashian in 2022, the rapper began dating Bianca. The pair then got hitched just days after his divorce from the SKIMS founder was finalized. Since their nuptials, Kanye and Bianca often step out in sizzling and NSFW displays - often sparking backlash from the public and fans online. Bianca is often seen wearing very little clothing, and has her breasts and private regions on display while out and about. Bianca Censori and Kanye West's relationship Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia Before her current full-time job, the 30-year-old started a jewelry company called Nylons after leaving high school. After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master's degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles. In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca's claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram. The rapper reportedly said, "Come and work for me." At which point she says the designer moved to LA to join his company Yeezy as the "head of architecture" - and has been since November 2020. WEDDING BELLS On Friday, October 6, 2023, The Daily Mail reported Kanye and Bianca wed on December 20, 2022. The couple tied the knot under a "confidential marriage license" in the state of California. The two wed in Palo Alto, California, according to the document. The wedding came just one month after Kanye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce. 4 The couple are often known for their shocking displays Credit: X/Ye
