Hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, and ably
assisted by ‘The Stig’, the show will feature the usual automotive mayhem and
stupidity that we have come to expect from these petrol powered nutters plus
the Top Gear Live Stunt Team.
Three action-packed 90-minute arena shows will e staged over the
weekend of 18-19 January with tickets on sale from 9 am on Friday 4 October.
According to Mr Clarkson: “I’ve absolutely no idea exactly what
we’ll be up to in Glasgow but, as this is the first time we’ve ever performed
live north of the border, you can guarantee it will be something very special.
What we can promise is lots of gigantic explosions, some very scary stunts plus
a magnificent line-up of incredibly expensive supercars … not to mention all
the usual cock-ups, crashes and arguments. Who knows, you might even see The
Stig in a kilt.”
Over the last 12 months, Top Gear Live has been on a world tour
with spectacular shows in Moscow, Sydney, Amsterdam, Antwerp and Durban
culminating in the biggest extravaganza yet performed in Poland last weekend
(21 September) to a sell-out 50,000+ crowd in Warsaw’s National Stadium.
Glasgow will be the first time the Top Gear team has appeared in
the UK since headlining at the Birmingham NEC in October 2012.
“I’m told the building was inspired by ancient Roman and Greek
amphitheatres so it sounds like the perfect setting for our kind of arcane
humour and barbaric acts. I think some epic chariot racing should be on the
cards!” added Clarkson.
The venue boasts a maximum seating capacity of 12,000 with perfect
sight-lines and crystal clear acoustics but, to provide additional stage space
for the stars and their cars, the state-of-the-art auditorium will be
reconfigured to provide 8,000 seats for each Top Gear Live performance.
Adult ticket prices for all three shows – two scheduled for
Saturday 18 January and one for Sunday 19 January – start from £49* with
special concessions for accompanied children. Full details can be found on the www.topgearlive.co.uk
website or via the box office on 0844 395 4000.
The same official website also allows fans wishing to book some of
the best seats in the house 48 hours in advance of the general on sale date
(9am on Friday 4 October) to register – free – on-line for a special ‘pre-sale
promotion’.
