Robbie Williams has said his “boldest tour yet” is not a competition with Oasis, “even though it bloody is”.
The singer has announced a host of dates when he will perform to the masses, including one in London, and the news comes just before the release of his new musical movie, Better Man.
Robbie Williams Live 2025 will take in more dates even than the Oasis comeback tour. The singer has a well-known long-running feud with the Gallagher brothers which could reignite next summer.
But, although now aged 50, he seems to have no plans to be the bigger or, indeed, better man.
Asked if it was a competition in an interview, Williams responded: “When Oasis get back together, there is no competing, really.
“Unless I’d taken a 20-year break, then it would be a fair fight. Oasis coming back together, I don’t think anyone could compete with that – including Taylor Swift, who’s the biggest artist on this planet.
“So no, it’s not a competition, even though it bloody is.”
Williams may be unwittingly embroiled in a competition for having the most irritated fans, however.
After Oasis purists raged against the controversial “dynamic-pricing” model, Williams has now been accused of charging too much.
The Stoke Sentinal, the local paper of Williams’s hometown, has gathered opinion from fans saying the three UK dates are out of their price range.
One wrote online: “The price of @robbiewilliams tickets is actually ridiculous! Cheapest at £125, not affordable for a lot of people.
“Feel sorry for the true fans who don't have that money to spend.”
Another added: “Dunno about @robbiewilliams more like robbing b*****. Was gonna buy my mum a couple of tickets but not as £125 a pop id happily spend that on her but then she's gotta find someone else to pay £125 b***** rip off.”
Based on his Hyde Park shows from earlier in the summer, Williams will likely find a crowd – especially if new music will be released in the meantime.
He said: “I can’t wait to see you next year. There will be songs from the movie Better Man and some new music, too … but more on that soon.”
So, if you want to bag a spot at the upcoming shows, here is what you need to know.
