Still don't agree with him.

One different song per night could be an answer.

 For the very first time, @robbiewilliams performed "Pretty Face" on a major stage! 😍

After weeks of fans hoping for more BRITPOP songs to find their way into the setlist, one of the album's biggest fan favourites has finally had its live debut. 🎶

Only yesterday, Robbie shared a heartfelt explanation about why introducing new songs can be so difficult. He spoke about the emotional connection people have with songs they've lived with for decades and the fear of losing the crowd's energy when something unfamiliar begins.

Last night, he took that step. 💪🏼

And that's exactly how new memories are made.

Every classic song was once a song nobody knew.

Every lifelong favourite had to be played for the first time.

Hopefully, Pretty Face has earned its place, because it absolutely deserves to be heard live.🤞🏼

Do you think "Pretty Face" should now become a permanent part of the BRITPOP Tour setlist?

THIS IS WHY I'M SO PROUD OF HIM... ❤️

In his recent post, @robbiewilliams admitted that introducing new songs is one of the hardest things he does.

He wrote that, with his anxiety, it can feel as if the energy leaves the stadium the moment people hear a song they don't know.

Watching him perform Pretty Face tonight, it looked like he was doing exactly what he'd been talking about.

Stepping outside his comfort zone.

Taking a risk.

Trusting the audience.

Then the song ended..
...and he smiled like this.

Whether he was feeling relief, pride, joy, or all three, only Robbie knows.

But this much is certain:

Every classic has to begin somewhere.

I'm incredibly proud that he took that step tonight.

I genuinely hope Pretty Face becomes one of those songs that follows people through weddings, road trips, first kisses, heartbreaks, and all the moments that make up a lifetime.

❤️ Thank you for being brave enough to give it a chance, Rob. 😍

I get what Chris is saying of course, I feel like that seeing Melanie C again and again and again and she does the same old songs time after time and I'm like PLAY THE NEW ALBUM!

However, it was my first time seeing Robbie and the album wasn't even out by that point so I'm glad he did loads of classics as they are the songs I wanted to sing along to. I get it's frustrating for the hardcore fans but for the fans like me who mainly know his singles they are the ones we want to hear.

I think it's more getting the balance right & that would please everyone. In fairness he has two songs from the album in the setlist ( Rocket & Spies ) & even one more in the second half of the show would keep everyone happy. We get to see him a lot in Europe & get tired of the same songs over & over but I understand him sticking to the classics when he travels further afield if he has not been there in a long time. At least by his response & actions he is willing to listen & that in itself is very nice

Robbie Williams shares insights into why he doesn't play more new songs in his setlist

He responded directly to a fan

Robbie Williams has taken to Instagram to publicly respond to a fan who called him out on his 'BRITPOP Tour' setlist saying: 'When are you going to change the setlist?' The singer responded to the fan who uses the handle @robbiewilliamsfan.chris explaining how his 'duty' is 'first and foremost' to 'entertain'.

Robbie went on to recount the time he was due to join Taylor Swift at one of her gigs in Wembley, where they discussed their setlists, with Robbie telling the 'Opalite' singer: "You're in the part of your career where they know all the words to track seven on the album." Going on to explain: 'Even if it wasn't a single, the whole stadium would know every word.'

The 'Rock DJ' singer then explained how 'You can't know until you know. You can't know until it stops. And when you're in it, why would you imagine it ever ending?'

Bringing his statement back to the present day, Robbie then addressed the fan: 'Here I am in 2026. Chris is asking why I don't play more songs from 'BRITPOP'...

'I've written this before, but I'll do it again. These new songs have a MASSIVE task. Evict the old ones.' He continued to explain how the old songs aren't 'just three-minute pop songs', they've been used at special moments in people's lives, such as weddings, funerals, births, holidays etc.

Robbie explained: 'I want songs from this part of my life to earn their place. But did that happen with Britpop? No. Do I love Britpop? I f--king do. I really do.' (sic)

Since posting his statement, fans have been showing messages of support, with the original poster also commenting, saying: '❤️❤️ Rob, first of all... thank you. 🙏🏼

'I honestly never expected you to answer my question publicly. That alone means a lot to me.

'You wrote, "I had made it awkward. I do that. It's what I do."

'Well... we're more alike than you probably realise. I can be pretty good at making things awkward too.'

Chris went on to add: 'I completely understand what you're saying about songs becoming part of people's lives. I don't disagree with that for a second.

'Where I disagree is this... You're Robbie Williams. The Robbie Williams. You've spent more than thirty years doing the impossible, proving people wrong and setting trends instead of following them. You're The King Of Entertainment! BRITPOP isn't a weak album waiting for radio to save it. It's one of your strongest records in years.'

Robbie started his 'BRITPOP Tour' in 2025 on 31st May - in Edinburgh, with dates further in the UK. He is currently on the European leg of this tour, continuing onto South America, and Oceania.

I'm in the UK and it was my first time seeing him tbf, that will be the case for many others. He is right that the majority of fans attending now will be causal fans... he sold way more concert tickets than he has of his recent album.

I appreciate getting the balance of some new tracks, I personally was pleased to be able to sing along to all the tracks though, so I get where he is coming from too.

To a certain extent I agree with you & in fairness he is good at reading his audience & what works . I am sure Mel I am happy that Chris asked the question though .I am sure Mel C is the same, she knows what works for her, an artist has to be engaged with their audience otherwise it does not work . Robbie also does the ,ore intimate gigs like The Long 90's shows & those are indeed for what is called the hardcore fans so it's hard to complain really.

Robbie Williams, the formidable entertainer

The British superstar offers an undeniable and hilarious concert at the Icónica Santalucía Sevilla Fest as part of the tour of his album 'Britpop'

Not long after the great event of the Oasis reunion tour, our man joined the nostalgia for the years of splendor of Britpop -a strange amalgam that one, but with great roots in the press and public- with an album whose title did not fool anyone: Britpop, why are we going to complicate ourselves any more.

The return to that nineties mood of Robbie Williams, our global star visiting this Tuesday in Iconic Santa Santalucía Sevilla Fest, could invite us to think about intimate unfinished business – his famous almost caricatural arrogance may only find parallel in his need for recognition of artistic legitimacy – of that young former boyband member hurt and confused after his noisy expulsion from Take That.

More than 75 million records sold after that, the British singer and showman performed on Tuesday night in a crowded Plaza de España at his feet as soon as he appeared before the audience to break the ice - if he was not already melted with such heat - with a magnificent and vibrant Let Me Entertain You recreated by his band. He then delved for the first time into his most recent songs with Rocket, a highly choreographed upbeat rock barrage that on the album, just because,because it can, even if it's not relevant, was recorded with legendary guitarist Tommy Iommi, of Black Sabbath.

f***ing hell, it's f***ing hot... and I'm 52", he complained theatrically in one of his first pauses, in which he delighted the audience with his mischievous and sexy cocky skills, both making the respectable sing the riff of Black Sabbath's War Pigs and parodying the iciness of the German public. After the display of their charm, Rock DJ entered like a knife in butter: fat sound, backup singers on fire, armored rhythmic base, fluttering dancers, energizing winds. Pure spectacle. Their thing, come on.

And of the show is an important part, of course, the sparkling monologue to contextualize the songs. As a good old gulf who flirted with all kinds of addictions and self-destruction, one of his most successful moments was his declaration of love to his wife and the four children he has had with her, to whom he dedicated the halftime Love my life in a really beautiful performance. Until that moment, the two types of songs that Robbie Williams roughly works on alternated perfectly: the hit designed to be chanted in Olympic stadiums and the ballad or halftime about the insecurities and regrets of the singer of hits designed to be sung in Olympic stadiums.

To avoid breaking this dynamic, Pretty Face followed, another from their latest album, a nod to Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit included. And to extend it, he continued with a kind of medley in an intimate key and complicit with the audience, which he once again made singing, of Better Man, Sexed Up and Candy. Jokes about his beginnings in Take That and his rivalry with Gary Barlow, comic gags with his musicians, a waterfall of gestures, tics, posturitas, now harmless family man flirtations... The guy could give a lecture on Putting People in Your Pocket.

At times one thought that he is becoming more and more convincingly a kind of 2.0 version of his compatriot Tom Jones, because yes, singing sings, and a beautiful one. You would really have to be too afraid of not appearing unattainably sophisticated not to applaud loudly the beautiful version of Relight My Fire that was marked with one of her backup singers, one of those Afro-forces of nature that prevailed so much in the dance of those 90s so longed for throughout the night of this Tuesday.

The crooner moment in its own way came -crooner in its own way because this man's throat seemed tailor-made to sound mammothically, to be thrown into the air by sound equipment that does not fit in normal trailers- with a hilarious rereading of the very classic New York, New York, which progressed from seclusion to the piano, Pink scarf included, until the final spill. He then introduced his band through nods to AC/DC's Back in Black, Summer Loving from the Grease soundtrack, Queen's We Will Rock You, The Weather Girls' It's Raining Men, the Village People's Y.M.C.A.,

Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams and the Beatles' Hey Jude; and the best we can say is that in all of them we are left wanting much more (well, all but Queen's, for reasons that if they are not obvious we are not going to bother to comment

The bad thing about everything being so intense, so high all the time, is that there comes a time when everything sounds... a bit of the same. Magnificently, but to the same thing. Not that this is a big problem either, because one of the undeniable virtues of Robbie Williams' show is its perfect rhythm, with ups and downs, all dynamism.

After Come Undone, Kids and She's the One, he dedicated another of his lines to his father – his hero, as he described him, a former singer and comedian now suffering from Parkinson's – to introduce a version of Sinatra's standard My Way during which he also took the opportunity to share with the audience a few pictures of homemade joy and serenity with his family. projected in photo album format on the giant screens.

For the end he left his two biggest megahits. First, Feel, with its epic, its damn catchy piano arpeggios, its expansive guitar solo, its hands open in the air... with all its parsley, in short. And to top it off, obviously, Angels, the same one she sang on Monday night with a street musician in an improvised cast -but conveniently viral- in the streets of the center of Seville, only this time in front of a captivated crowd, as if hypnotized, because there is a reason why this guy has more charisma than the devil.

Do we find his repertoire as resultant as it is overwhelmingly impersonal? Is one going to listen to two Robbie Williams songs in a row just in the event that the singer ever returns to Seville to give a concert and must attend it for professional reasons? Is the performance you have offered a show – almost a variety show – of taking bread and dipping? The answer to all questions is yes, of course. You would have to be a little dead inside not to be amused by such an outpouring of charisma, good voice, good musicians, stage talent and magnificently understood lightness.

Something like this can only be achieved by one of these old-fashioned stars, and to appreciate it in all fairness you certainly have to watch it live, where the nuances and the liveliness and the wit really come to life, against the flattened and anodyne sound of the records. This may cost one more than one joke from his very dear and admired cultured friends, with an exquisite and minority palate, but to lift and sustain a spectacle like this by spinning on the tip of his finger – like a globetrotter with his basketball – you have to have, without a doubt, now we have understood, a formidable talent.
