Will Young has extended his upcoming 25th anniversary tour with a handful of new shows.
The ‘Pop Idol’ winner will return to the road early next year with ‘The Evergreen 25th Anniversary Tour’, which he announced with a run of 16 shows throughout February and March 2027.
Due to demand, the ‘All The Songs’ singer has extended the run with three new shows, including a stop at Ipswich’s Regent Theatre on March 15 – his only date in the town.
He’s also added a second London date at the Palladium on March 16, following his sold-out performance at the Eventim Apollo on March 12, as well as a second show at Manchester’s O2 Apollo on March 18, in addition to his sold-out date there on February 20.
“To reach 25 years is a privilege and an honour,” he says. “Who knew entering a competition by cutting out a piece from the newspaper would lead to the most exciting 20 weeks of my life in ‘Pop Idol’ and a relationship with the public that has lasted for so long. People voted and trusted me and that has forever been a dream come true.
“I can’t wait to celebrate with the full band and get to play ‘Evergreen’ as well as all the songs that have come since from ‘Light My Fire’ to ‘You and I’ to ‘Leave Right Now’ to ‘Jealousy’ and onwards. Can’t wait to see everyone who trusted in me during Pop Idol and since, at the anniversary shows.”
