More than 40 years since forming his punk rock student band, The Dreamboys, legendary actor Peter Capaldi has announced his first-ever headline music tour.
With eight dates across the UK, Capaldi, known to many as the 12th Dr Who, is set for a show at Manchester Academy 3 on Thu 26 Feb.
Peter comments, “I was in a band at art school, fired up by the punk explosion, we went out into the world in search of rock stardom, and well… I became an actor. But I never lost my love for music. And in recent years have produced two albums of original songs, ‘St.Christopher’ (2021) and this year’s ‘Sweet Illusions’.
“Recording, with all the advantages of the digital age is one thing, playing live is another, but I wanted to see if I could go out after all of these years and play live in front of an audience. Well let’s see what happens. I’ve lucked out with my band, a group of wonderful young musicians who have bravely come on board for the ride.”
Tickets to Peter Capaldi’s debut live tour go on sale Fri 28 Nov at 10am.
