Robbie Williams to perform in Glasgow for first time in five years in new tour

Pop icon Robbie Williams will be heading to Scotland to play his first gig up north in five years, as he announces two dates at Glasgow's OVO Hydro.

The former Take That star last played in Scotland in 2017 when he performed at Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium - but 2022 will see the return of Robbie to the nation.

This tour, taking place in October, will celebrate the 48-year-old's 25 years as a successful solo artist, and will also come after his latest album release.
