Tony Hawk announces UK spoken-word shows

Tony Hawk has announced that he will be bringing his spoken-word 'An Evening With' shows across the pond this summer.

The skateboarding legend will be coming over in July to perform in Dublin, Manchester and London, discussing his 'lifetime of pushing the boundaries' – including learning to skate as a youngster, turning pro at just 14, and winning just about every award and accolade in his field ever since.

A description of the shows reveal how Tony's fans will 'get the chance to hear first-hand memoirs from his astonishing career and see him share stories about how he pushed boundaries to become the skateboarding hero he is today'.

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday, January 28.

The Evening With Tony Hawk dates are as follows:

July

29 Dublin Citywest
30 Manchester O2 Apollo
31 London Palladium
