Peter Andre 'couldn't be prouder' as Junior lands spots at huge summer music festivals

Peter Andre 'couldn't be prouder' of his son Junior Andre after he landed huge spots at festivals this summer.

The Mysterious Girl singer, who shares Junior, 17, and Princess, 15, with his ex-wife Katie Price, always gushes over his son's achievement in the music industry.

Junior topped the UK iTunes chart with his debut single, Slide, last year and went on to perform his first gig in the summer.

And now, the teenager is taking a huge step forward in his career by landing a gig at Bestival.

Peter, 50, revealed: "Junior is performing at Bestival this year, as well as other shows. He's going to be doing a lot more very soon too.

"It will be a great year for him and I couldn't be prouder. He's worked really hard and things are definitely falling into place for him."

He added to his column in new Magazine: "He always used to come and watch me on stage, but it's his turn now. He will be great."

In July 2022, Peter shared footage of Junior's first-ever gig on his Instagram page.

He wrote: "So proud of you on your first ever gig son.

"Let’s go go go @officialjunior_andre So much more to come….. @columbiauk @rebelrecs @officialprincess_andre @dr_emily_official @thecangroup #slide #proudpops #musicmanagement "

Peter was not the only one who was impressed with what they saw, as he shared a video posted by a fan who was in the crowd in Sunderland.

The fan captioned the video: “Show: Smashed, Eardrums: Burst, Post-show Maccies: Munched"

Peter has also been busy and recently revealed he has been working on a new album.

However, his eldest son won't be making an appearance on any of the tracks despite his talented vocals.

Explaining his reasoning behind the decision in January, Peter explained that he would rather Junior pave his own way in the competitive industry.

Peter also said that Junior is set to release more of his new music later this year.

He said: "For those of you who've asked if Junior will feature on the album, I'd say I want him to go on his own path.

"It's more important that he focuses on his own music and he has some big things coming this year, including releasing his next single and potentially his debut album."
