Peter Kay adds new Leeds First Direct Arena date to record-breaking tour amid 'extraordinary demand'

The newly announced show will take place at the Leeds First Direct Arena on Saturday, May 16, 2026, giving fans another chance to see the Bolton-born comedian perform.

It comes after Kay confirmed an earlier show at the same venue, which will take place on March 9 next year, as part of his current tour that has been running since 2022.

The decision to add the new Leeds date, along with another new show at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on Friday, May 15, 2026, was in response to “extraordinary demand”, according to organisers.
