The ultimate pop showman Robbie Williams will be returning to Manchester next week for a string of huge gigs to celebrate 25 years as a solo artist. Manchester, of course, is where he first found fame as one fifth of boyband Take That, so the city will always have a special place in his heart.
And, naturally, when he announced his big arena return earlier this year, tickets were selling so quickly for his first two Manchester gigs that a third date was added. He'll be at the AO Arena on Wednesday October 19, before returning on Friday and Saturday (October 21 and 22).
The tour for Tunstall's finest Robbie, 48, comes on the back of his new album XXV featuring many of his greatest hits and fan favourites, which were all re-recorded and newly orchestrated with the Metropole Orkest. The autumn arena tour is billed as "a joyous celebration of Robbie’s 25 years as a solo artist".
