Robbie Williams’ Christchurch stadium show sells out
Limited tickets remain for the Auckland show.
Thanks to Frontier Touring and Chugg Entertainment, readers have the chance to win a double pass to Williams’ Auckland concert (see below for details).
“Australia and New Zealand have always had a very special place in my heart,” Williams said.
“Ever since my first solo tours, you have welcomed me with open arms and made me feel at home.
“I’m beyond excited to be coming back this November for the Britpop World Tour. Can’t wait to see you all there!”
Williams’ latest album, the critically acclaimed Britpop, is a nod to the ’90s Britpop era and features collaborations with Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Gaz Coombes (Supergrass), Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi, Mexican pop duo Jesse & Joy and Gary Barlow.
Fans at his shows are regularly treated to the album’s first single Rocket, which features Tommy Iommi from Black Sabbath delivering an unmistakable guitar solo on the recorded version, leaning it closer to hard rock than traditional pop.
It sits comfortably with often-used show opener Let Me Entertain You and familiar, well-known fare including Rock DJ, Better Man, Love My Life, Pretty Face, Supreme (a nod to former Formula One racing champion Jackie Stewart), She’s The One, Kids and the regular show closers Feel and Angels.
Williams has six of the Top 100 best-selling albums in British history, 90 million album sales worldwide, a record 16 UK No 1 albums and 18 Brit Awards – more than any other artist.

So it sold out already??
I saw “Christchurch show sells out” and figured that’s it, but then it says limited tickets remain for Auckland so I’m confused. Also why are they emailing addresses for a double pass like that seems sketchy.
Robbie Williams coming back this November is cool I guess but the part about Coldplay’s Chris Martin… isn’t he like, always doing features? The Rocket single with Tommy Iommi guitar solo sounds made up though like did Tony really play or is it just some marketing thing? Either way, I’m not trying to enter an email contest that asks for daytime phone numbers.
Frontier Touring always gets the tickets here, so I’m like whatever. The article mentions Auckland and Christchurch dates, but my cousin said it was tomorrow?? Maybe news posts lag. Also “Supreme” as a nod to Jackie Stewart… I thought that was just the name of the track lol. Anyway hope families living with cancer get some benefit from it because that part I actually read.
