Take That in Cardiff stage times, set list, support act, road closures and everything else you need to know

Take That bring their Odyssey greatest hits tour to Wales on Saturday, June 8 and it's the first time the band have performed in Cardiff since 2011 when they brought Progress Live to the Principality Stadium.

In 2017 they visited Swansea's Liberty Stadium with their Wonderland tour, their first major tour as a trio and now it's not long until Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald return to the Welsh capital,

They've already performed arena shows in the UK, so let's see what we can expect from the Odyssey show and all the essential information you need.

Who's the support act?

It's Rick Astley!

The '80s singer will be Rick-rolling out the hits as he warms up the crowd for some Take That bangers.

Will Robbie or Jason be there?

Jason's probably a definite no. He didn't appear on the 30th anniversary documentary last December and upon leaving in 2014 he said he did 'not wish to commit to recording and promoting a new album.'

However the BBC's We've Come a Long Way programme did see Robbie Williams reunite with the trio to reminisce over old times.

Also, Robbie appeared on Lorraine  and he said: "I'd like to. If we're in the same place at the same time then I'm definitely in. I think there's a mic open for me. It's an open invitation both ways."

So, you never know.

Where can I park near the Principalty Stadium?

There is park & ride at Leckwith (CF11 8EG) which costs £8 on the day, or £10 in advance. Click here for more information.

There is also event parking in Sophia Gardens (CF11 9JU), which is just across the road from the Stadium. It costs £15 on the day.
