Say goodbye to The Main Event on a Final Knees Up Tour
They have been part of the Peterborough pubs and clubs live music scene for the past three years or so – but The Main Event have announced they are taking a break.
Lou and Ollie have cited family and work commitments for the decision not to gig in 2026 – but before they put their instruments away they have a Final Knees Up Tour in November and December.


Look out for the duo in November at Fletton Club (2nd), The Yard Of Ale (28th), and The Boulevard Club (29th), then in December at The Top House at Coates (27th) before finishing at The Shed Taproom & Deli (28th).
