Final shows will take place at the AO Arena, Manchester on 8th August 2026

Peter Kay said:“It’s been the greatest privilege of my life to perform for audiences up and down thecountry. I’ve been completely overwhelmed by the support over the years, and it feelsright to give something back. Every single penny of profit from these final shows will goto help fight cancer and support those affected.

Unfortunately, just about everyone knows someone who’s been affected by one of thecancers on that list. I really hope people can get behind this—come out, have a greatnight, share a few laughs, and do something good for charity at the same time. It’s awin–win.

You don’t even have to like me—raising money for these twelve charities goes farbeyond that.

Together,we really can make a difference.”
