    I went on the gig on Friday 6h in Emirates! It was so cool! Robbie was fantastic and I really loved the C stage in the general admission. He was like 10m away :D

    Nice to see lots of youngsters at the barrier there. We noticed how many men there were in the audience last Saturday - way more than 20 years ago

    I am positive surprised how full the stadiums have been until now. Even Paris is sold out and France has never been his core audience

Still don't agree with him.

One different song per night could be an answer.

I agree with you Alex but looks like he's not going there. Manifesting Cher , really 😗 Is that what the fans want.

 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.
