Top Gear Live rebranded 'Clarkson, Hammond and May Live'. Photo: PA Ticket-holders for Top Gear Live have been handed some good news as it was confirmed that the 2015 world tour will go ahead, renamed Clarkson, Hammond and May Live.
In the interests of those who have already bought tickets, the live arena show will go on with its original three presenters, but without the Top Gear name or BBC branding, BBC Worldwide announced.
So as not to disappoint the thousands of people around the world who have already purchased tickets, BBC Worldwide has agreed with our joint venture partner Brand Events that the remainder of the tour can continue.
– BBC spokesperson
These events will not, however, feature any BBC Top Gear branding or content. We believe this is a sensible approach in the circumstances.
Transmission magazine reports the live shows, which were due to take place in Stavanger, Norway last weekend, have also been rescheduled to June 20 and 21.
We’d like to thank our ticket-holders for their continued patience. The fans are the most important people to Jeremy, Richard and James, so we’re delighted to be able to say, ‘We’re still coming’…– Spokesman for Brand Events.
The festival that had been planned to run in Sydney, Australia in April will become an indoor arena show.
It will be staged in Melbourne on July 18-19, and Sydney on July 25-26.
London's O2 Arena will host the end of the tour in November.
