Robbie Williams - BRITPOP World Tour

Robbie Williams plays McDonald Jones Stadium on Tuesday 17 November, part of his BRITPOP World Tour. It's his return to Australia, and the tour is being billed as one of the year's biggest music events.

If you've followed him for a while, the numbers are a good place to start. He's sold 90 million albums and holds 18 BRIT Awards—the most of any artist—and he's built a reputation as much for his showmanship as for the songs. That stage presence has taken him to some pretty high-profile spots over the years: an AFL Grand Final appearance, a New Year's Eve show at the Sydney Opera House, and a Brit Awards collaboration honouring Ozzy Osbourne. This tour keeps that same energy, and the setlist is built around the songs most people know him for.

Among them are 'Angels', 'Feel', 'Better Man', 'Let Me Entertain You' and 'Love My Life', so it's a run of the big ones rather than a deep dive into the B-sides. He's touring them as part of the BRITPOP World Tour, and the whole thing is being played with the same energy that's defined his career since the early days. It's a big-stage show, and the stadium is the kind of room that suits it.

Tickets are A$159.90, and the show is on Tuesday 17 November at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle.
