The News Agents Live on Stage add more venues and dates for 2025

New tour dates for The News Agents Live on Stage have been announced for Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh in 2025.

The Global podcast, hosted by Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall, is heading out of London following its first live show at the Royal Albert Hall this week.

The News Agents Live on Stage with HSBC UK tour dates include:

  • Birmingham Symphony Hall – Monday 17 February 2025
  • Manchester Bridgewater Hall – Monday 24 February 2025
  • Edinburgh Usher Hall – Tuesday 11 March 2025

Emily Maitlis said: “We’ve been blown away by the response to our first live show at the Royal Albert Hall, and we can’t wait to hit the road in 2025.”

Jon Sopel said: “After barely surviving the pre-show jitters at the Royal Albert Hall, I’m somehow ready to do it all over again in Birmingham, Manchester, and Edinburgh. Can’t wait to see you there!”

Lewis Goodall said: “Taking The News Agents on the road is something we’ve been dreaming of since we launched the podcast in 2022 and after such a fantastic response to our first live show in London, I’m delighted that we’ll be bringing The News Agents to Manchester, Edinburgh and of course my hometown of Birmingham in the new year.”

Vicky Etchells, Global Director of Podcasts said: “The News Agents is all about bringing our listeners inside the conversation, sharing the behind-the-scenes moments you don’t normally hear about on the news and what better way to do that than in front of a live audience!

“The News Agents Live on Stage with HSBC UK tour is set to be full of fun and surprises alongside the best analysis of the biggest stories in current affairs by Emily, Jon and Lewis.”

Global plans to host more live podcast events in person at venues across the UK next year.
