Peter Kay has announced new tour dates amid massive demand for his comeback tour.

The acclaimed comedian is embarking on his first stand-up tour in 12 years with dates across the UK and a residency in London.

However there was chaos this week as tens of thousands of people tried to access presale tickets, with many left empty-handed, while the O2 Priority site had its ‘highest demand in 15 years.’

Fans were also left disappointed with the general sale, however Peter has now announced new dates, including in London, in 2023 and 2024.

An additional show has been added in London’s O2 on Saturday, December 16 2023, as well as one more on Saturday, January 6 2024 – you can check out the tickets on the Axs website.

The comedian, 49, tweeted: “Extra dates added to Peter Kay’s arena tour!” and confirmed two more shows had been added to his London residency at the O2 Arena.

Many reported seeing messages on the Ticketmaster website telling them there were more than 200,000 people ahead of them in the virtual line during the chaos of the tickets going live on Saturday morning.

The website tweeted: “As expected, Peter Kay is super popular this morning. To make it as fair as possible, we have put everyone in a queue. Be patient and don’t refresh or you’ll lose your place.’
