  • 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

CMAT excitedly took to her Instagram account to share some snaps of her donning a 'Robbie' T-shirt alongside the 'Angels' singer captioning the heart-warming photographs with: "The A in CMAT stands for 'And through it all'. I've loved you forever Robbie."

The singer then re-shared the pictures to her story captioning it with "huge life news", displaying her own excitement in supporting the global superstar.

Bilbao BBK Live 2026 knows how to scratch all your musical itches. Looking for erotically-charged, meticulously-crafted club pop or timeless, joyous hits given a clever on-stage makeover? Look no further than FKA Twigs and David Byrne on day one. Want a slice of ultimate catharsis via the best break-up album of the decade, or to throw yourself around in the pit and thrash it out? Lily Allen and IDLES have got your back on Saturday’s closing night.

However, the Basque Country weekender’s turbo-charged Friday bill? Well, that was a time for all-out entertainment via quite probably the two most charismatic performers that the UK and Ireland have produced in the last 40 years.

If CMAT is, in star power wattage terms, the natural successor to the night’s headliner Robbie Williams, then there were plenty of other thrills to be found on the scenic slope of Mount Cometas too. From a late night rave with Aurora and The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands – aka TOMORA – to some balmy afternoon blues courtesy of Alabama Shakes, here’s all the action from day two of Bilbao BBK Live’s epic 20th anniversary year.

Robbie Williams pulls out all the stops 

Robert Peter Williams – the most successful British artist in UK chart history, with a recent, record-breaking 16th Number One album to his name – is obsessed with the idea of entertainment. “Is this entertainment?” he questioned, getting the absolutely rammed main stage crowd to sing back a series of call and response riffs. Maybe this might be, he implicitly suggested, as the cocksure swagger of ‘Rock DJ’ pointed towards a fake newspaper headline on stage asking “Is Robbie the greatest entertainer?” A dancer ripped it off to reveal a second headline underneath: “Of course he f***ing is!”

These were two moments in the wild ride of Robbie’s Friday night headline set – easily the biggest audience draw of the weekend so far – that underlined the Stoke star’s raison d’etre. But really, the whole of Williams’ gloriously uninhibited 90-minute extravaganza was a love letter to pure showmanship. In his own words, which he delivered – naturally – whilst sitting at a piano, wearing a giant pink feather boa and eating a banana before playing a cover of ‘New York, New York’: “If you’re still trying to be cool, stop it, it’s exhausting. You look like a f***ing w*n**r.”

Instead, Robbie went all-in on getting the crowd as revved up as possible via the sort of relentless bag of tricks that exemplified the singer’s unique place in UK pop – part stadium-sized juggernaut, part cheeky Butlins entertainer. Has anyone ever played more covers during a festival headline than this? Quite possibly not. As well as ‘New York, New York’ and a bit of his old muckers Take That’s ‘Relight My Fire’, Bilbao got a medley of hits from Depeche Mode to The Beatles to introduce his band, plus a rendition of ‘My Way’, dedicated to his dad.

The family presence was out in full force, with a photo album slideshow during ‘Love My Life’ and an appearance from eldest daughter Teddy during ‘Angels’. Older, reformed Robbie the family man has a tendency to veer into Live Laugh Love territory, but the presence of Robbie the superstar was still there for all to see. When the hits came, they were inarguable: ‘She’s The One’, ‘Feel’, ‘Millenium’. “You’d better be f***ing good because I am phenomenal,” Robbie declared at the start of the set – he wasn’t wrong.

CMAT turned the festival’s 1.30am slot into a cathartic, raucous singalong 

“Usually it’s just DJs at this time, but not tonight baby!” announced Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, midway through her 1.30am set on the Repsol stage. “You wanted to see some Irish country rock’n’roll. Let’s scare all of the people who went to see Soulwax instead of CMAT!”

The Belgian electronic duo might be a more traditional after hours festival option, but there was not a person present at CMAT’s glorious Friday finale that would argue against her being the only sensible choice. If you like your pop stars bursting with sincerity, hilarity, the sort of insatiable energy that could win over quite literally any crowd and an increasing canon of undeniable anthems to boot, then no-one’s doing it quite like the self-titled Dunboyne Diana right now.

Kicking off with the swirling climax of ‘The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station’ before dropping into early single ‘I Don’t Really Care For You’, Thompson – three albums in, with a level of international stardom that’s increasing by the hour – has proper hits these days. Where, just last summer, a game-changing Glastonbury performance was the moment to push an underground star into the mainstream light, last night the front section of the crowd at Bilbao BBK Live 2026 knew every word.

The names that naturally emerged throughout the set acted as a neat reminder of how beloved CMAT has become. “Thank you Olivia Rodrigo, she’s my best friend!” the singer joked ahead of ‘When A Good Man Cries’ – a reference to the American superstar’s recent BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge cover. Later, Thompson declared that “The A in CMAT stands for ‘And through it all…’” leading the crowd in a singalong of ‘Angels’ before Robbie Williams himself ran onto the stage to say hello.

Throughout, the singer was a whirlwind of energy and talent, popping out campy choreography sections with her band on ‘Have Fun!’, pouring her heart out on ‘Euro-Country’, and descending into the crowd to storm a line through the middle during a final, incendiary

Records, unforgettable anthems and a career that has marked generations. In the run-up to his long-awaited return to Chile, we review 5 facts you probably didn't know about Robbie Williams: from the Guinness World Record he achieved for the sale of tickets for a tour, to the controversial video clip of Rock DJ and the personal battles that made him one of the most influential voices in British🎤 pop.

The expectation to see him again in our country has been evidenced by the great interest generated by the sale of tickets for his concert on September 27 at the Bicentennial Stadium in La Florida, whose presale mobilized thousands of fans and quickly gave way to general sales.

You can still find the latest tickets available through the Produce system
