Making the announcement, André said: "My dear friends, we are absolutely thrilled to announce additional concert dates in Aberdeen, Birmingham, and Dublin in 2022.

"The past months have reinforced our passion for music, our desire to perform for you, our impatience to jump back on stage.

"My orchestra and I can still hear your laughter and see your smiles.

"Covid-19 has delayed our concerts, it will not conquer our spirit.

"Thank you for your loyalty and patience and please stay healthy.

"See you in 2022. Much love!"

Louise Stewart, Head of Entertainment at P&J Live said: "We know just how adored Andre is by his North East fans following his festive performance at AECC back in 2015.

"We know this is going to be a hot ticket!”

André Rieu, whose nickname is the King of Waltz, has sold over 40 million albums.

His programs include a mixture of light classics, waltzes, music from film and opera as well as pop songs, performed by his Johann Strauss Orchestra, the biggest private orchestra in the world.
