Robbie Williams has announced a series of intimate UK concerts to celebrate the release of his new album BRITPOP. The Long 90's Tour will see the 51-year-old perform at four small venues across the country in February 2026, marking a dramatic shift from his usual stadium shows.
The tour begins at Glasgow's Barrowlands Ballroom on February 4, followed by Liverpool Olympia on February 6 - the same day his 13th studio album drops. He will then perform at London's O2 Academy Brixton on February 8 and Wolverhampton Civic Hall on February 9.
Complete album performances
During each show, Williams will perform his entire debut album Life Thru A Lens alongside the new BRITPOP record in full. This represents a rare opportunity for fans to see the global superstar in intimate settings, given he has been filling stadiums worldwide since launching his solo career in 1995.
The tour follows his most intimate gig to date at Camden's Dingwalls venue, where he recently wrapped up his 2025 tour. These February shows are being described as "once in a lifetime" events for supporters.
Star-studded collaborations
BRITPOP features an impressive lineup of guest artists, including Take That bandmate Gary Barlow, Coldplay's Chris Martin, Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi and Supergrass vocalist Gaz Coombes. The Daily Record reports the complete 11-track album also includes collaborations with Mexican pop duo Jesse & Joy.
The album's artwork showcases Williams in the iconic red tracksuit he wore at Glastonbury Festival in 1995, shortly after leaving Take That. This visual represents the album's concept of fulfilling his original artistic vision from the Britpop era.
Artistic vision realised
Williams explained his motivation for the record: "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," he continued. The album includes recent singles Pretty Face, Rocket, Spies and Human.
Beatles record in sight
If BRITPOP reaches number one, Williams would achieve his 16th chart-topper, surpassing The Beatles' longstanding record. This milestone would cement his position as one of Britain's most successful recording artists.
Fans who pre-order BRITPOP from the official Robbie Williams store will receive early access to tickets. General ticket sales begin on Tuesday, November 28, with full details available at britpop.robbiewilliams.com.
