At the moment the two foreign shows for 2023 are Denmark and Finland. I'm glad they are performing in Finland again as their last show there was in 1994. I'm going to write the countries Robbie has performed concerts in below, just to show the extra places he has performed. In the past Take That have played concerts in: (last concert stated) Africa No concerts ever. They really should play South Africa at least. They have a loyal fan base on the continent, and chart success during both eras. Robbie: South Africa. Asia Indonesia, 1995. Israel, 2017. First Appearance Japan, 1995. Singapore, 2016. Taiwan, 2007. Thailand, 2016. United Arab Emirates, 2024. Robbie: Hong Kong, Qatar. Europe Austria, 2019. Belgium, 2019. Denmark, 2019. Finland, 1994. France, 2019. Germany, 2019. Ireland, 2019. Italy, 2019. Netherlands, 2019. Spain, 2007. Sweden, 2006. Switzerland, 2019. UK, 2019. I would say they should add a concert in Spain and Sweden to their upcoming concerts. Robbie: Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia. North America No concerts ever. Canada has always had a moderate reception to TT, including a #1 record with 'Back For Good' and Top 40's with 'It Only Takes a Minute' and 'Patience', plus a few other Top 100 entries. There is a strong presense/demand on social media there. USA. Las Vegas Residency or a few shows there would be nice. Robbie: Canada, Mexico, USA. Oceania Australia, 2017. New Zealand, 2017. First Appearance South America No concerts ever. This is a big one. The social media dedication from Brazil, Argentina, and Chile especially are huge for them. I believe they really do need to play some concerts in these countries. Robbie: Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay. I really hope Take That play shows in Africa, North America and South America in the future for the first time. I think they owe it to their loyal and patient fans.

Patience did well for them internationally with Beautiful World doing OK, but after that it was pretty much diminished returns with each album/release. I think one-off shows is the best hope for some of those regions to be honest, rather than being a part of a proper tour. Easier to arrange on a small scale.

Years old now, but these articles provide analysis for the demand in the USA, South America & Mexico. I also know that they would do well with a Canadian gig in either Vancouver or Toronto. https://www.radiocremebrulee.com/take-that/...tour-in-the-us/ https://www.radiocremebrulee.com/take-that/...n-south-america

But since then no album really charted too well and even arenas became to huge when they last toured Germany. Only one event of I think four sold well. On the other hand I like that they experiment with their albums and do not play it safe. They made their money and my feeling is that they now do what they like with less interest of commercial success as 3 piece or solo. Have to say too that 3 members of TT simply looks wrong. Four is ok, three feels like GB and band (and i mean that nice)

Thought it would be good to recap their chart positions (singles as these may be performed) in both nations: Denmark Could It Be Magic: #28. Pray: #14. Relight My Fire: #19. Babe: #16. Everything Changes: #4. Love Ain't Here Anymore: #6. Sure: #3. Back For Good: #2. Never Forget: #3. How Deep Is Your Love: #1 (2 weeks). Patience: #6. Shine: #7. Reach Out: #13. Rule The World: #32. Greatest Day: #28. The Garden: #8. The Flood: #4. Kidz: #12. Finland Why Can't I Wake Up With You: #17. Pray: #20. Relight My Fire: #5. Babe: #8. Everything Changes: #11. Love Ain't Here Anymore: #9. Sure: #4. Back For Good: #2. Never Forget: #5. How Deep Is Your Love: #2 The Flood: #28.

I know they tour in other countries but i dont think they have pushed all that hard for big success.
