Gareth Gates is excited to return to Grimsby for his upcoming tour, promising a night filled with beloved movie love songs and heartfelt performances
Grimsby: Gareth Gates is gearing up for a special performance at the Grimsby Auditorium. He’s bringing a show filled with love songs from movies, and he can’t wait to be back in a place that holds so many childhood memories for him.
Since his rise to fame on Pop Idol back in 2002, Gareth has been a familiar face in the music scene. He’ll be performing on March 27, and the show is called ‘Gareth Gates Sings Love Songs from the Movies.’ It’s a project he’s really passionate about.
With a live band and talented West End singers, the show promises to be a night of nostalgia. Expect to hear hits from classics like Titanic and Dirty Dancing. It’s all about those songs that tug at your heartstrings.
This week, Gareth stopped by Grimsby to chat about his tour. He mentioned how much he loves performing for Northern crowds, saying it feels like home. He’s from Bradford, so it’s not too far away.
He shared that producing the show is a whole new experience for him. Instead of just singing and leaving, he’s involved in every detail, from choosing venues to organizing the set list. He’s really diving in to learn the ropes.
Gareth got the idea for this show by reflecting on his first hit, Unchained Melody, which was featured in the movie Ghost. He realized how powerful the connection is between movies and music, and he wanted to celebrate that.
He’s excited about the lineup, which includes love songs from films like A Star is Born and Armageddon. It’s all about creating a feel-good atmosphere that everyone can enjoy.
On top of this tour, Gareth is also working on a new West End musical called Speechless, inspired by his own experiences with a stammer. He hopes to raise awareness and help others understand what it’s like to live with this challenge.
He’s been developing this idea for years, and it really came together during lockdown when he had the time to write. Now, he’s in talks with West End theatres to bring it to life in 2026.
Gareth is proud to share his story and inspire others who might be facing their own struggles. He believes that by talking about his experiences, he can help others feel less alone.
