Neighbours farewell tour heading for Australia after strong UK sales

 The soap stars are visiting their homebase.

The Neighbours farewell tour's strong ticket sales in the UK has resulted in a "one-off special event" being announced for Melbourne, Australia next year.

Kicking off in March, cities such as Manchester, Cardiff and Edinburgh will play host to at least five cast members from the cancelled Aussie soap as they roll back the years in packed-out venues.

Annie Jones (Jane Harris), Ryan Moloney (Toadie Rebecchi), Jackie Woodburne (Susan Kennedy), Alan Fletcher (Karl Kennedy) and April Rose Pengilly (Chloe Brennan) will all appear.

On Tuesday (August 23), Neighbours confirmed that the tour will also be visiting Australia next April, with ticket details available soon.

In June, Maple Tree Entertainment producer Dean Elliott said of the UK tour: "When Neighbours: Live in Conversation sold out within 24 hours, we knew that the love for the show could see it tour the UK, and there is no better time to take to the road than to mark the end and to honour its rich and lengthy history.

"We can't wait to put on a show that the fans will love and deserve."

Neighbours has now come to an end, but catch-up episodes are available via My 5 (UK) and 10 Play (Australia).
