Take That icon Gary Barlow to play three gigs in East Midlands next year

Take That star Gary Barlow will play three gigs in the East Midlands next year.

The pop icon has announced he will play at Leicester De Montfort Hall on Thursday, June 5 and Nottingham Royal Concert Hall on June 6 and 7 as part of his 2025 Songbook Tour of UK and Ireland.

The tour is set to be a huge celebration of his illustrious four-decade-spanning career, and will see him perform an array of songs from his much-celebrated back catalogue of hits with both Take That and as a solo artist.

Barlow is one of Britain’s most successful songwriters and record producers. As part of the group Take That, he has won eight BRIT Awards and sold over 45 million records. One of the band’s biggest hits, ‘Back For Good’, will turn 30 in March 2025. The track is still ranked as one of the UK’s favorite-ever pop songs having reached No.1 on its release in March 1995 and remaining top of the charts for four consecutive weeks, going on to become the band’s biggest-selling song of the 90’s.

Aside from his achievements with Take That, he has also co-written and produced music for other renowned artists including Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Elton John and Robbie Williams, and most recently, he wrote the song  ‘Running Wild’ for JIN from Korean super group, BTS.

Tickets for The Songbook Tour go on sale today (29) from here.
