The multi-BRIT-winning solo star and former Take That member is set to headline at Lancashire’s Lytham Festival on July 3, before then playing at Thomond Park Stadium in Limerick on July 6.
Tickets go on sale this Friday (July 24) at 10am local time, and will be available here.
The dates come on the heels of his ‘BRITPOP World Tour’ heading to South America later this year, before moving over to Australia and New Zealand in November. The two new shows also mark Williams’ first 2027 tour dates to be confirmed so far, and happen to take place shortly after Glastonbury – leading to some speculation that he could be on the line-up for next year’s edition.

Glasto 2027 will take place at the usual spot of Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset next summer and run between Wednesday June 23 and Sunday June 27. It will be the first year back following a fallow year this summer.
Williams has shown up at the iconic festival before, delivering a huge solo set at the 1998 edition, and also making an unforgettable appearance in 1995, where he partied with Oasis.
Speaking to NME about the latter in 2022, the ‘Angels’ singer said that going to the festival shortly after his departure from Take That made him feel “like Putin turning up in Westminster” due to indie snobbery, and also marked the “start of his new life” where people “couldn’t contain me anymore”.
In the years since, the singer has made it clear that he wants to perform again at Worthy Farm – and said in 2023 that he believes he’d “slaughter it” if he were given the chance to play the Legend’s Slot.
“It’s one of those times and places, and a reimagination of what Robbie Williams is,” he said of a potential performance,” he said at the time. “A lot of people there have an oblique perception of what I am. But if they saw me do it, I would take their heads off.”
There were rumours that he was playing at last year’s festival too, after he shared a picture of a blue plaque that officially marked 30 years since he made headlines for partying with Oasis at the festival in 1995.
More rumours were sparked as he used a picture of himself at the 1995 festival as the cover for his latest album ‘BRITPOP’ – but he later clarified that he wasn’t lined-up for a secret set.
When he first announced the record – which has now broken The Beatles’ record for the most UK Number One albums and become his 16th chart-topper – Williams said he set out to create the album he wanted to write after leaving Take That in 1995.
“It was the peak of Britpop and a golden age for British Music,” he said. “I’ve worked with some of my heroes on this album… There’s some ‘Brit’ in there and there’s certainly some ‘pop’ too.”
In a three-star review of ‘BRITPOP’, NME described the album as “a love letter to the ’90s and a bid to live forever”.
Since the album dropped, Robbie has also been named FIFA’s official Music Ambassador and dropped the first official FIFA anthem ‘Desire’ alongside Laura Pausini.
The pair first performed the song ahead of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain at the same New Jersey stadium. Williams then sang it with Scherzinger at the 2026 World Cup Final Draw, released a new version featuring both Scherzinger and Pausini, and performed it with both the singers at the World Cup closing ceremony on Sunday (July 19).
Following his appearance at the World Cup final, Williams has responded to claims that a white object falling onto his microphone during a World Cup television interview was cocaine.
