Michael Bublé announces huge open air gig at Durham County Cricket Club

He may be fresh from charming crowds at two nights at Newcastle arena, but Michael Bublé has already announced he is returning back to the North East next summer.

The Grammy award-winning star has announced he will play Emirates Riverside in Chester-le-Street on Saturday, August 1.

It will form part of a special An Evening with Michael Bublé tour which will see the singer perform at stately homes, castles and cricket grounds across the country.

Kicking off on Friday, July 24 at Bath Royal Crescent, the tour will visit locations in Hatfield, Norfolk, Derby, Warwick, Leeds, Exeter, Cardiff and Hove, as well as County Durham.

It marks the first time that Michael will perform open-air concerts at these historic venues.

Michael went down a storm at the weekend, performing to packed houses at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on Saturday and Sunday.

As well as his own material, including Just Haven’t Met You Yet, Nobody But Me, Home and Love You Anymore, he performed jazz standards and had plenty of interaction with the crowd, singing with audience members and chatting with them, in what’s become a trademark of his An Evening With shows.
