Robbie Williams to perform at 'iconic' venue

Robbie Williams will perform at Bath's Royal Crescent in June next year

Pop star Robbie Williams will perform at the Royal Crescent in Bath in one of only a few concerts ever hosted at the historic location.

The open air concert on 13 June 2025 is part of the singer's UK tour and will see the "coming together of a truly iconic artist and venue", promoters have said.

The Royal Crescent was built 250 years ago and is an important part of why the city was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1987.

The Royal Crescent Society said: "A special artist like Robbie Williams deserves a special venue and we can’t wait to bring this concert to the wonderful supportive people of Bath."

The show will take place on the private lawns of the Royal Crescent, against the backdrop of the 30 Grade I Listed terrace houses.

The concert has been described as a "fitting way to celebrate 250 years since The Royal Crescent was built".

The Royal Crescent has only hosted a handful of concerts in its history, the most recent by Michael Bublé who performed two shows to 25,000 people in 2022.

Bath and North East Somerset councillor Paul Roper said: "It was fantastic to see the city buzzing with fans coming in for the Michael Bublé shows, which gave a big boost to local business and hospitality over the weekend they were on.

"I am sure we'll see the same again next summer and we look forward to welcoming Robbie Williams to our wonderful city."

Williams became successful as the youngest member of Take That in 1990 and started his solo career in 1995.

Since then he had six of the Top 100 best-selling albums in British history, 85 million album sales worldwide, and 18 BRIT Awards – more than any other artist in music history.
