Robbie Williams has revealed he will tour the UK next year.
The run of shows will coincide with the release of his latest studio album, Britpop.
The Long 90’s Tour, which will take place in England and Scotland, kicks off in Glasgow at Barrowlands Ballroom on February 4, 2026, with Williams playing Liverpool Olympia on the day of the album’s release, February 6.
The 51-year-old will also play 02 Academy Brixton in London on February 8 and Wolverhampton’s Civic Hall on February 9.
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 announcement comes days after he cancelled a performance in Turkey due to ‘public safety’.
Britpop had an initial release date of October 10 but this was pushed back due to scheduling issues, it is understood.
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 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, 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.
