Rick Astley "Never Gives You Up" in Hull

Rick Astley will perform at Hull Venue later this year as part of his UK tour.

The singer – who will be supported by Gabrielle - will visit the city on Friday, 26 October. Tickets go on sale at 9.30am on Friday, 8 June.

Two years ago Rick Astley returned with an album that surprised everyone, even himself. His number 1 album ‘50’ sold over 300,000 copies and was one of the biggest selling albums of 2016.

What was even more incredible was that Rick wrote, produced and played every instrument on that comeback disc.

His new album, ‘Beautiful Life’, is released July 20th on BMG with an iconic cover shot by Rankin. Each of the twelve tracks are written, produced and played by Rick.

Highlights are many and include the Chic flavoured title track, the evocative ‘Rise Up’, the insanely catchy ‘Try’ and the warm childhood memories of ‘The Good Old Days’.

After selling over 100,000 tickets on his 2017 tour, Rick and his band head out on tour in October and November.

Tickets for this standing/seated concert are priced £27.50, £39.50 and £47.50 each. Booking fees apply. Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult. To stand you must be aged 14 and over.
