Top Gear’s live shows in Greenwich are still set to go ahead later this year, its promoter has said.

Yesterday, it was announced that four Top Gear shows due to take place in Norway next week have been postponed.

It is understood the decision to delay the live performances was taken in part because presenter Jeremy Clarkson remains suspended after allegedly punching producer Oisin Tymon.

His future at the BBC is likely to be decided this week when the corporation’s internal investigation into his conduct is handed over to the director-general.



However, Live Nation – which is the promoter for Top Gear Live’s shows at the O2 on November 28 and 29 but does not promote the shows in Norway – confirmed the UK tour would still go ahead as planned.

As well as the Clarkson situation, it is understood the postponement of the Norway shows has been announced because organisers wanted to give fans enough notice to cancel travel and accommodation plans, and because work to prepare the venue would have needed to start well in advance of the shows.
