Pop star Peter Andre is coming to Carlisle.

The Mysterious Girl star - who is as famed for his six pack as his music - has announced a new 25-date tour.

The Australian singer will take to the stage at The Sands Centre on Wednesday, February 13, 2019.

The tour marks 25 years since the artist burst onto the music scene in Australia.

Following his breakthrough, which saw Andre's second single Gimme Little Sign peak at number three in the Australian charts, he then released his second studio album Natural, which reached number one in the UK album charts.

Peter's music career peaked during the 90's when he became the sixth highest selling artist in the UK.

He had numerous number one hit singles, two number one albums and toured all over the world collecting a multitude of national and international accolades along the way.

His chart success led to major tours throughout the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia.

During his quarter of a century in the spotlight, Andre has released 12 different albums, all with a unique twist.

In 2014, the singer songwriter released a brand-new sound to add to his collection, with swing album 'Big Night', followed in 2015 with 'Come Fly With Me'.

Peter said: “This tour has been a long time in the making and I can’t wait to get back out on stage in front of the fans in Carlisle who have supported me over the last 25 years.

"I’m blessed to have had such a strong career in entertainment for 25 years is something really special and this tour will be a celebration of everything I have worked for.”

The ‘Celebrating 25 Years’ tour will see Peter encompass his musical journey through the years, performing his best loved hits from his early years to his present-day tracks that reignited the hearts of the nation.

Liz Doogan-Hobbs MBE, chief executive of LHG Live, said: “We're delighted to be working with Peter Andre on his Celebrating 25 Years tour.

"It is testimony to Peter’s character in the entertainment world that he is so well thought of among his fans and peers, and having produced shows on his previous tours, we're thrilled to be working with Peter at this milestone in his career.

"To commemorate such landmark achievement, we have agreed that a limited number of tickets will be available during the pre-sale period at £25.”

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 9am at The Sands Centre Box Office.
