Comedian Peter Kay's show at the Manchester Arena has been rescheduled after the venue was evacuated mid-performance due to a technical issue. The incident occurred on 19 April, during Kay's performance, with the audience being safely evacuated.
The Manchester Evening News reported that the evacuation was due to an issue with the lighting system, which caused a 'smell of burning' in the arena. The cause of the technical issue remains under investigation.
Ticket holders for the original show date will be contacted by the event organisers and given the option to attend the rescheduled performance on 25 July or claim a full refund. Kay's team has assured fans that they will be contacted as soon as possible to discuss their options.
Peter Kay is a well-known British comedian, actor, and writer, best known for his work on the BBC sitcom 'That Peter Kay Thing' and the BAFTA-winning comedy series 'Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere'. He has also won a Brit Award for Best British Comedy Act.
The Manchester Arena is a popular music and event venue in the North West of England, hosting numerous high-profile acts and events throughout the year. The arena's management has assured fans that they are working closely with the event organisers to ensure the smooth running of the rescheduled show.
