Pop icon Will Young to play York Barbican

Another big star is coming to York next year.

Will Young celebrates 20 years of being at the musical forefront on his 2022 tour, announced today (Monday). And that will bring him to York Barbican.

He will play the venue on the second date of his tour, on Thursday 13 October 2022.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (29 October) at 9am at the York Barbican website.

Will burst onto the scene in 2002 as the original winner of Pop Idol.

His expansive career has culminated in four number one and two number two chart-topping albums, two BRIT Awards and four UK number one singles.

Hits include ‘Leave Right Now’, ‘Evergreen’ and ‘Jealousy’. An acting career blossomed too, with roles on stage and screen and presenting gigs on TV and radio, including regular cover for Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 2.

Will’s most recent album Crying On The Bathroom Floor hit number three in the UK album chart this year.

His new book To Be A Gay Man is available now via Penguin Books. It details his experiences of coming to terms with his sexuality.
