Peter Kay is rumoured to have a big comeback tour in the works for 2023, which would be his first tour in over a decade since his last one back in 2011. The 48-year-old comedian was due to tour around the UK back in 2018, but had to cancel as he stepped away from the limelight as a result of 'unforeseen family circumstances'.
When tickets were released for his last tour in November 2017, the Car Share star risked the wrath of his Welsh fans after confirming that he would not be playing in Cardiff if Bristol Arena had been built in time. Of course, the Bolton comedian then ended up not playing in either city, but with another tour rumoured in the works and the Bristol Arena 'on track' to open in 2024, could Peter Kay be coming to Bristol?
Kay's last tour was set to go ahead in 2018/19, meaning his next tour could be happening towards the end of 2023, and into 2024, which is when Bristol Arena is set to open its doors. Speaking to fellow comic Jason Manford on Absolute Radio before he cancelled his last tour, Kay said he would rather play at Bristol Arena than Cardiff's 5,000 capacity Motorpoint Arena, leading to accusations from Welsh fans that he had 'ignored' the Welsh capital.
