LEGENDARY performer Tina Turner has just announced a fourth and final date at the MEN Arena in Manchester as part of her first shows in over a decade.

Tickets for the new show, on Saturday, April 4, go on sale at 9am on Friday, September 26.

Tina, who last performed at the Arena in December 1996, will bring her brand new stage show to Manchester next spring to celebrate over four decades in music on March 30, 31, April 3 and now April 4. Tickets are priced £50, £75 and £100.

Tina, who dueted with Beyonce at The Grammy Awards earlier this year, will perform tracks from her explosive back catalogue, including her early career singles River Deep Mountain High, Proud Mary and Nutbush City Limits through to her solo superstar smashes Let’s Stay Together, What’s Love Got To Do With It, We Don’t Need Another Hero and The Best.

Speaking ahead of her Manchester shows, Tina said: “After performing with Beyonce at The Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, the response was overwhelming. Everywhere I went people were asking me when I was going back on tour.

“So after a lot of thought and planning we announced an American tour. Now Europe beckons and I don’t want to let down all my loyal fans over there.”
