European stadium tour for Robbie Williams (tour dates)

LONDON, UK (R. Williams Official Website) - Robbie Williams has unveiled the dates for a European tour which will see him play to around one million fans.
The singer confirmed he will play two huge shows at Knebworth Park next summer.
More than 240,000 fans will see him at two gigs alone at the Hertfordshire venue.

Williams begins the 15-date tour with shows at Murrayfield in Edinburgh on June 28 and 29, before playing stadiums and arenas around northern Europe.
He winds down his tour at Dublin's Phoenix Park on August 9.

The Knebworth open air shows take place over the weekend of August 2 and 3 and will see Williams following in the footsteps of acts such as Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and Oasis.
Williams said: "For me, touring is the ultimate adrenaline rush. This is going to be one of my best tours yet. I'm really excited at the prospect of being back on the road."

The 28-year-old has released his fifth album Escapology and record label EMI will be hoping to see a return on their huge investment in the star - thought to be in the tens of millions and the biggest-ever deal for a UK act.

Unusually, under his new contract the company will take a stake in his live shows, which are often the biggest money-spinner for music stars.

Williams announced the dates at a press conference in Berlin, where journalists from as far away as New Zealand had flown in to hear about his plans.
