Robbie Williams has announced a string of live 2025 dates throughout summer across the U.K., Ireland and mainland Europe.
The British pop icon will begin the tour in Edinburgh, Scotland on May 31 before visiting stadiums in London, Manchester and Bath. He’ll then head to the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Latvia and more before concluding the run in Helsinki, Finland on Sep. 20.
Support on the U.K. leg will come from Warrington rock band The Lottery Winners, while Rag ‘N’ Bone Man will do the honors on select dates in Edinburgh and London. See the full run of dates below.
Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday (Nov. 15) at 10 a.m. GMT. Fans can secure early access to tickets by pre-ordering the upcoming compilation soundtrack to biopic film Better Man, which will be released on Dec. 26, 2024 in the U.K. and Ireland, and on Jan. 17, 2025 in the U.S. and Canada.
The soundtrack, which will feature Williams’ greatest hits, will be released digitally on Dec. 27 with a physical release to follow. A tracklist is yet to be confirmed.
Better Man will tell the story of Williams’ life through childhood and his fame with ‘90s boyband Take Thats, and follow his wildly successful solo career which includes 13 No.1s on the U.K. Albums Chart and 18 BRIT Awards. Williams will be played by a CGI monkey throughout the film directed by Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman).
In a press release, director Gracey expanded on the decision to not use a human actor in the otherwise live action film. “Robbie would say things like, ‘I’m up the back dancing like a monkey.’ After a while, I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be amazing to represent Robbie as a monkey in the film?’ Because Robbie is telling this story – and that’s how he sees himself.” Watch the trailer for the film below.

Nearly a month after his shocking death following a fall from a third-story hotel balcony, Liam Payne‘s body has been released to his family in order to repatriate his remains to the singer’s native U.K. for burial.
According to Reuters, an unnamed senior cemetery source in Buenos Aires told the news service that Payne’s body was taken from the city’s British cemetery on Wednesday (Nov. 6) in the first leg of its repatriation journey. The 31-year-old singer’s body had been held by local authorities since Payne’s Oct. 16 death in order to complete toxicology and other lab tests.
BBC News also reported that Payne’s body had been released to his family according to a public prosecutor in charge of his case.
Two weeks ago, the luxury Argentinian hotel where Payne died was raided by police, who reportedly took away a number of items, including hard drives and CCTV footage. An autopsy report revealed that Payne died from a number of injuries, including internal and external bleeding caused by the fall. In addition, investigators reportedly found a number of illicit substances in his body at the time of death, including a recreational drug called “pink cocaine,” a mixture of substances that often contains ketamine combined with MDMA, methamphetamine, cocaine, opioids and/or psychoactive substances.
The first planned posthumous single from Payne, “Do No Wrong,” was slated to drop on Nov. 1 before Grammy-winning producer Sam Pounds announced that he’d decided to hold off on releasing the song until the late singer’s family felt comfortable with issuing it. “I want all proceeds go to a charity of their choosing (or however they desire),” Pounds wrote on his socials on Oct. 29. “Even though we all love the song it’s not the time yet. We are all still mourning the passing of Liam and I want the family to morn [sic] in peace and in prayer. We will all wait.” No updated release date has been announced.
