Peter Kay at the MEN Arena April/May 2010 and Sep/Oct 2011

After almost seven years Peter Kay is back on tour. Presenting his ‘Tour that doesn't tour' tour he'll be at the MEN arena in March/April. Originally planned as four nights in one venue (hence the name) the demand for the tour was so great that Peter is now doing over 20 nights, and the tour that doesn't tour will now be touring.  Tickets are limited though so if you want to get down to the arena to see one of the Bolton's finest then hurry up and book. If you're not lucky this time he'll be back in October next year.  But that's a long time to wait!
