Robbie Williams concert chronology

The Let Me Entertain You Tour[1] is the eleventh concert tour by British recording artist, Robbie Williams. The tour begins in Spain and will travel throughout Europe and Asia in Spring 2015. The tour will then reach Australia and New Zealand in October 2015. During the summer months, Williams will perform at numerous music festivals in Europe.

Background

Shortly after the birth of his son,[2] Williams announced the tour via YouTube.[3] The video displays the pop singer walking around a neighbourhood in Los Angeles. He recites an updated, spoken word version of his hit, "Let Me Entertain You". Williams exclaimed the tour will visit new places or areas where he has not toured in a long time.[4] The announcement was shortly followed with a posting on his official website.

Venues

In May 2015, Williams performed in Israel for the first time, before 50,000 fans at Hayarkon Park in Tel Aviv. He began the performance wearing devil horns. In the second half of the show, he donned a kilt. Underneath he wore tight black briefs with a tiger on the front. On stage, he professed his loved for Israel and described his visit as "f**king amazing."

The shows in Paris, France were recorded for a live album which is available on Williams' official website.[5]
