ANYONE who saw Michael Ball and Alfie Boe on their Together tour at the Mayflower and BIC recently will agree it was an outstanding pairing of two of the greatest voices in the world.

Now following the stunning success of their Platinum selling album ‘Together’ and the 29 sold out shows across the UK in 2016, they have announced today that they will return in 2017 for a selection of exclusive dates throughout the country.

This will include the BIC in Bournemouth on Sunday December 3.

The summer will see them performing outdoors at some of the UK’s most beautiful stately homes and castles, with six dates announced in June. In winter, they’ll come back inside to play ten arena dates in November and December.

Tickets for all dates go on sale on Friday December 16 at 10am from www.livenation.co.uk and www.gigsandtours.com. VIP Hospitality and Meet & Greet packages are also available to purchase via VIP Nation.

Having first met 10 years ago, performing together in 'Kismet' at the London Coliseum, Michael and Alfie became lifelong friends. That same year, Michael Ball made history as the first musical theatre star to be given a solo concert at the Royal Albert Hall's BBC Proms, and asked Alfie Boe to join him to perform at the classical music festival.

This instant personal connection and professional mutual admiration makes for the perfect pairing and, to the delight of their hundreds of thousands of fans across the globe, has been finally realised with the Decca-released ‘Together’ to spectacular success. The album has gone Platinum in just 6 weeks and is on track to become the biggest selling domestic release of 2016!

Michael and Alfie say, ‘There are simply no words for how incredible this is for us. We have always wanted to work together, it was just a case of getting the timing right. We are so grateful to all our fans who have supported us and everyone involved for believing in us. We are literally having the best time and are so happy with the success of the album and the tour.'
