Robbie Williams announces new album launch show in Liverpool

Robbie Williams has announced a run of shows in England and Scotland that will coincide with the release of his latest studio album, Britpop.

Robbie Williams will play Liverpool Olympia on the day of the album’s release, February 6th 2026.

The 51-year-old will also play 02 Academy Brixton in London on February 8th, Wolverhampton’s Civic Hall on February 9th and many more.

The tour announcement coincides with the release of Williams’ latest single, Pretty Face, which follows previously released songs from the album – Rocket, Spies and Human.

The Angels singer closed his 2025 tour with an intimate show, billed as “the smallest show of Robbie’s career”, at Dingwalls in Camden on Thursday.

Musicians including Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, Supergrass’ Gaz Coombes, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi and Williams’ former Take That bandmate Gary Barlow appear on the album.

The Britpop cover shows Robbie Williams in his red tracksuit outfit that he wore to attend Glastonbury Festival in 1995, at the height of the Britpop era.

Speaking about the album, Robbie Williams said:

“I set out to create the album that I wanted to write and release after I left Take That in 1995.

“It was the peak of Britpop and a golden age for British music. I’ve worked with some of my heroes on this album; it’s raw, there are more guitars and it’s an album that’s even more upbeat and anthemic than usual.

“There’s some ‘Brit’ in there and there’s certainly some ‘pop’ too – I’m immensely proud of this as a body of work and I’m excited for fans to hear this album.”

If Britpop tops the UK albums chart it will mark Williams’ 16th number one, putting him ahead of The Beatles’ long-standing record.

Prior to launching his solo career, Williams was one-fifth of popular boyband Take That, behind hit songs including Pray, Everything Changes and Sure.

Last year he released the biopic Better Man, where he is played by a CGI chimpanzee – a comment on how he feels like a “performing monkey”.

In 2023 he was the subject of a self-titled Netflix documentary series which documented his struggles with addiction and mental health issues.

His other chart-topping albums include Life Thru A Lens (1997), I’ve Been Expecting You (1998), Escapology (2002), Intensive Care (2005) and Rudebox (2006).

He has also had seven number one singles in the UK with songs including Millennium, Rock DJ and Candy.
