Robbie Williams is gearing up for a massive 2025 tour, taking his larger-than-life persona and unforgettable hits across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. The ‘Live 2025’ tour kicks off May 31 in Edinburgh, where fans can expect a powerhouse set that revisits his legendary catalog and previews music tied to his upcoming biopic, Better Man.
Following the Edinburgh opener, the tour will hit iconic UK venues in June, including London’s Emirates Stadium and Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena, before making its way to the historic Royal Crescent in Bath. From there, Williams will take his show to fans throughout Europe with stops planned in Germany, France, Spain, Austria, and beyond. The European leg will feature a total of 24 shows, stretching from June through September.
“This tour is going to be my boldest yet,” Williams teased in a statement, hinting at new arrangements, scenes from Better Man, and some fresh tracks. Joining him on the opening night is none other than Rag’n’Bone Man, with The Lottery Winners accompanying him across all UK dates.
The tour news follows an exciting rollout for Better Man, directed by The Greatest Showman’s Michael Gracey. Slated for a December 26 release in the UK, the film sees Williams portrayed as a CGI monkey avatar, adding a surreal twist to his life story. Fans can expect reimagined versions of his classics on the accompanying soundtrack, which will drop the day after the film's release. Williams also shared that each soundtrack purchase gives fans “early access to the tour,” giving superfans an added incentive to secure the album.
The film will dive deep into Robbie’s rise from his early days in Take That to the solo success that’s made him a pop icon, revisiting his record-breaking albums like ‘Sing When You’re Winning’ and ‘Escapology’. Following its trailer release last month, fans reacted with excitement to the quirky CGI concept, one calling it “Planet of the Apes does Robbie Williams!”
