Robbie Williams has announced details of a huge UK and Ireland stadium tour for summer 2017, ending just as Glastonbury begins. See dates and ticket details below.

Fresh from the release of his acclaimed new album ‘Heavy Entertainment Show’, the ‘Party Like A Russian’ and ‘Rock DJ’ star will be hitting the road next summer.

Speculation has now gathered around whether he might appear at Glastonbury – as his tour ends in London on the opening Friday of the festival. He recently said however, that he felt that indie fans ‘looked down on him’ the last time he performed there.

I don’t think someone who’d left a pop band would feel the same way now. You know, one of One Direction being seen walking around Glastonbury isn’t the same as me walking around Glastonbury in 1995.” Williams added: “When I was at Glastonbury it felt like the rest of the festival was like: ‘What the fuck are you doing here, you cunt?’” he added. “And I sort of wanted to be OK with the big boys, I wanted to be accepted, there’s a playground mentality that carries on through life and at that time, I wanted to be accepted by the bullies, and that became part of the very fabric of my DNA: ‘Oh, I’ll be accepted by these people eventually, right, here’s my new album. Oh, they’re not accepting me, they’re not coming.’”
