The Neighbours Farewell Tour is coming to Newcastle and bringing two of the soap's biggest stars along with it - Karl and Susan Kennedy.
There was great upset across the globe earlier this years when it was announced, that after being on screen for 37 years, the plug was being pulled on the much loved Australian show, which has made big stars out of the likes of Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Natalie Imbruglia, after Channel 5 ended its deal to air it in the UK and its Aussie broadcaster failed to find another channel.
There are now just over two weeks to go until Neighbours screens its final episode to fans Down Under and in the UK, with Kylie and Jason seen on set and other huge stars from Ramsey Street past like Guy Pearce and Melissa Bell also confirmed to appear. And while fans get their tissues ready to bid a sad goodbye to Neighbours, its legacy will live on thanks to a Farewell Tour which will call in at a number of venues next year, including O2 City Hall Newcastle.
A description of the event, which will arrive on Tyneside on March 5 2023 reads: "This will be the ultimate celebration of all things Ramsay Street. We will be flying over some of the biggest and best names from the show all the way from the other side of the globe.
"This celebration will give Neighbours fans a chance to reminisce on your favourite Erinsborough moments from across the last 37 years.
"Join us as we look back at some of the footage from across the years, enjoy never before heard stories from the cast as they are interviewed live on the stage, plus surprises and a Q&A session at the end. This will be the ultimate night for any Neighbours fan – and the perfect way to say ‘farewell’ to one of Britain’s most-loved soaps."
The first big names to join the cast of the Neighbours Farewell Tour are Alan Fletcher and Jackie Woodburn, better known to legions of fans as Karl and Susan, the Ramsey Street couple who've survived their fair share of drama over the years.
Tickets for the Newcastle show are available now from Ticketmaster, costing from £34 to £175 for VIP.
Speaking about doing the tour, Alan, who is bringing his one man show to Northern Stage in Newcastle in September, said: "I have been incredibly moved by the outpouring of love and support from fans as their favourite TV show is ending it’s 37 year run. ‘Which is why I am so excited to be involved in the Farewell Tour.
‘These shows will bring together thousands of dedicated fans to join cast past and present in a huge celebration of the show we all love so much. I expect this tour to be an unforgettable experience for audience and cast alike."
