Proceeds from the tour are donated to 12 cancer charities.

Majed appeared at Birmingham Crown Court via video link from HMP Brinsford, but arraignment was halted as psychiatric reports are being prepared and prison staff briefly interrupted the proceedings.

The incident occurred on May 1, prompting the evacuation and police searches that found nothing suspicious.

Majed allegedly forcefully entered the venue without a ticket and reportedly warned of a bomb, prompting police action after reports of a potentially suspicious bag.

Omar Majed, 19, of Saltley, Birmingham, is charged with communicating false information to police in connection with the bomb hoax that led to the Peter Kay show's evacuation.

West Midlands Police carried out searches after the bag report, but nothing suspicious was found.

The Peter Kay show at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham, part of the Better Late Than Never tour, was evacuated on May 1 after reports of a suspicious bag; police searches found nothing suspicious, the show was canceled, and Kay was briefly removed from the stage but unharmed.

Majed’s case management hearings were rescheduled, with a July 27 session and a provisional two-week trial date set for November 3, following psychiatric reports and arraignment considerations.

About 13,000 fans were evacuated from the venue roughly 45 minutes into the show, with Peter Kay leaving the stage and the performance canceled.

Attendees described panic as rumors spread, though police later confirmed there were no threats.
