The Top Gear Live event planned for Sydney in April will be moved to July as an indoor arena show and rebranded as Clarkson, Hammond and May Live.

The event will take place on July 25 and 26 with Melbourne dates added as July 18 and 19.

“So as not to disappoint the thousands of people around the world who have already purchased tickets, BBC Worldwide has agreed with our joint venture partner Brand Events that the remainder of the tour can continue. These events will not however feature any BBC Top Gear branding or content. We believe this is a sensible approach in the circumstances,” a BBC Worldwide statement said.

Live shows that were pulled in Norway have been also been re-scheduled to June.

Brand Events said in a statement: “This is a great solution for the fans. We’d like to thank our ticket holders for their continued patience. The fans are the most important people to Jeremy, Richard and James so we’re delighted to be able to say ‘we’re still coming’. We’re sure it’ll be something you won’t want to miss.”

Jeremy Clarkson has a separate contract for the Live events.

  2. Now I’m confused – which story is the April Fool’s joke?

    “Some say his suit’s as white as a BBC executive’s face, and that he taught Jeremy how to enjoy a cold meat platter with salad. All we know is, we can’t mention his name due to the terms and conditions of the amended licencing agreement between BBC Wordwide and Brand Events…”

  3. Great solution. To be honest, I’ve been far from offended by Clarkson’s antics and think it sucks he’s been dumped. At least this way the fans and he both get a decent farewell.
