Peter Kay tour dates have reached Leeds, where the comedian is set to play First Direct Arena on Friday 24 July as part of the final leg of his UK arena run. Tickets were still available when the date was published, but the show is being sold as a charity event and is expected to sell out.
The Leeds stop carries a 6pm door time and an 8pm stage time, with First Direct Arena due to close the night at 11pm. Ticket money will be split between 12 charities chosen by Kay, including Children With Cancer UK, Teenage Cancer Trust and Breast Cancer UK.
First Direct Arena in Leeds
The Leeds date lands at First Direct Arena in Leeds city centre, where Kay has already played arena shows on the Mum Wants a Bungalow Tour and Better Late Than Never. That return matters because this is not a one-off booking; it is part of the last stretch of his current arena schedule, built around a charity model rather than a standard commercial stop.
Peter Kay is also a known arena draw in UK comedy through Phoenix Nights, Max And Paddy's Road To Nowhere and Peter Kay's Car Share. The ticket split across 12 charities means the Leeds crowd is not just buying access to a show; each sale feeds a wider donation pool, with the money divided rather than directed to a single beneficiary.
Leeds Times and Access
Doors open at 6pm, so anyone heading in from Leeds City Station has a 15 minute walk to make before the stage call. Kay is due on at 8pm, which leaves a two-hour cushion for arrivals and for the arena to manage the flow before the 11pm curfew.
7,500 car parking spaces sit within a 15-minute walk of the arena, and the nearest car park with EV charging is on Albion Street. That gives ticket holders a practical choice between rail and road, but the clock is the real constraint here: miss the early evening window and the 8pm start becomes hard to catch up with.
12 Charities Split
Children With Cancer UK, Teenage Cancer Trust and Breast Cancer UK are among the named beneficiaries, with the rest of the donation pool made up through the other charities Peter Kay selected. The structure is simple: one show, one ticket pool, 12 ways for the money to move.
Ticket availability still hanging over the Leeds date is the story's complication. A charity show can sell briskly on name alone, but with the city-centre venue, the 6pm opening, and an 8pm start, the practical advice is plain: anyone planning to go should treat this as a timing-sensitive purchase, not a casual late decision.
