Chris de Burgh: It's Never Too Late Tour
Chris de Burgh plays Harrogate Convention Centre's Main Auditorium on Sunday 16 May 2027 at 7.30pm, with tickets from £53 to £65. The show is part of an eight-date UK tour.
What the evening is
Chris de Burgh brings his It's Never Too Late Tour to the Main Auditorium at Harrogate Convention Centre on Sunday 16 May 2027. The tour follows his 50 years as a recording artist. The listed programme includes The Lady in Red, Don't Pay the Ferryman and High on Emotion, plus other songs from his catalogue. Harrogate is one of eight UK dates, which run from Bath on 6 May to Liverpool on 17 May.

They suit couples, friends travelling together and larger groups who want a kitchen and some space. You can also leave the car at your apartment and walk to the show.
After the show
A 7.30pm start leaves time for dinner beforehand, and Harrogate has plenty of restaurants within walking distance of the venue. Afterwards, the town's bars are a short stroll away. On Monday morning you could visit the Turkish Baths before heading home. Staying the night means no late drive or last-train worry, and you can have a slower start the next day.
