Robbie Williams shows 'touch and go' without government funding, says Frontier Touring

More discord over government funding major concerts

There is more discord in the music industry over the government helping fund two Robbie Williams concerts.

It has contributed an undisclosed amount from its $70 million Major Events and Tourism Package, $40 million of which is to secure large-scale international events that will attract international visitors. But some in the industry say it is corporate welfare and believe commercially viable big-name acts would still come here without the funding.

Rob Warner, who has been involved in the local music industry for over 30 years, told Checkpoint the government is being taken for a ride by big players. "It should worry both taxpayers and anyone who likes live events or values music culture. The schemes, as happened in Australia, have taught the biggest promoters they can hold events to ransom and the minister and MBIE apparently don't recognise they're being taken for a ride. Or they're more concerned about looking good in the lead up to this year's election."

Dion Brant is CEO Of Frontier Touring, the company bringing Robbie Williams.

He told Checkpoint the money would not go directly to the popstar but instead make it viable to put on two Aotearoa shows, contributing to around half of what the freight to and from Australia and New Zealand will cost.

He did not disclose how much the government had put towards the shows, and said it was commercial in confidence.

While he said the money wasn't paying Williams directly to come and play, the money makes it "worthwhile" for the star to play in New Zealand.

"Robbie Williams has a lot of places he can go and play concerts around the world, and these major concerts generate a really big economic impact for the cities and the places they play. "He's popular in a lot of places around the world. He has to prioritise that time, and he has to work out where he can get the best return for the machine that is Robbie Williams."

Brant said putting on the show came with many costs, and the government contribution was a way of ensuring the costs don't outweigh the returns. He could not confirm whether Williams would have been able to play the shows without the funding but said it would have been "touch and go".

"It certainly helps make the balance or the ledger look better, then when we put the options in front of Robbie, it allows him and his people to make a decision.

"[It's] a way in which the returns on the incredible cost to get there and play there and for the infrastructure is able to be recouped without relying on lots of people buying lots of really expensive tickets." Brant said the benefit returned the taxpayer with the livelihood international shows bring to Aotearoa's shores.

"Cities are alive when these shows are on. You can't sit in the foyer of a hotel, you can't sit in a cafe, you can't walk around the shops without seeing, you know, hundreds of people wearing a T-shirt and dining in the restaurants and eating in the cafes and catching the Ubers and the taxis."

While each show was expected to bring a $3.50 return for every $1 invested, Brant said he didn't have any numbers reflecting how much of this would come from international visitors.

Attracting international visitors with big events is a key part of the fund's purpose.

Brant said Frontier pitched the Williams concert to the government using results from past concerts.

"[What the] audience profiles were like at those concerts, and the budgets for these concerts. So therefore, what we're projecting in terms of audience, sales, costs."

Frontier will report back to the government after the two shows.

"We'll report back who's come to the shows, where they've come from, there'll be some surveys on how long they've spent in the city, if they're from out of the city."

Splore Festival producer Fred Kublikowski applied for event funding through the Major Events and Tourism Fund but was denied.

Kublikowski told Checkpoint there needs to be more transparency around the fund.

"I think when taxpayer money is involved and it's going into a pool that's going to, international interests, if there's no clarity around that, people ask questions."

Kublikowski said there have been a countless number of successful international shows both in and outside of New Zealand without the government funding.

While it was hard to say whether the government was being influenced by these multinational promoters, Kublikowski said similar things had occurred in Australia.

"There's been examples where funding's been made available and it's easy for large conglomerates to access that.

"Certainly easier than local homegrown events without the resources or the backup of that kind of admin facility."

ABOUT THE EVENT

ROBBIE WILLIAMS IN LIMA!

The English star will perform twice in the capital, on Wednesday 23 and Thursday 24 September. On this his first visit, Robbie will present his new studio album "Britpop" as well as his greatest hits. Lima joins the Latin American cities where it will be seen on more than one occasion, such as Buenos Aires and Mexico City.

The Briton arrives in our city in full maturity, having recovered the success of his early years as a soloist, thanks to the documentary about his story broadcast on Netfilx and, especially, to the film "Better Man", where he told his biography in an ironic, playful and raw way, being represented by an animated monkey, something that earned him several international nominations. including one to the Oscars. In Peru, this film was seen by more than 100 thousand people.

In his debut in the country, Robbie will have ready an arsenal of hits ranging from "Angels", "Feel", "Supreme" and "Millennium", which crowned his first stage as a soloist, where he made known his enormous connection with the public in his live shows, considered among the best that a Briton offers, due to his high potential as an entertainer and "showman". In their repertoire there is also "Come Undone", "Let Me Entertain You", "Something Beautiful", etc.

“We talk every day” – The Lottery Winners on Robbie Williams, reality and playing Luxembourg

RTL Today Radio

When The Lottery Winners arrive in Luxembourg this summer, they won’t just be turning up as another support act.

Update: 05.05.2026 13:29

Frontman Thom Rylance joined the Sam Steen Show on RTL Today Radio ahead of their Luxexpo date with Robbie Williams and CMAT, and the conversation quickly moved from touring to something a bit more personal.

“I was a huge Robbie fan growing up,” he said. “I used to watch videos of him and want to do what he does. And now we’re really, really close mates. We talk every day.”

That’s not the usual “we did a tour together and kept in touch” story either.

“Even just today I was texting him,” Thom said. “He was having a bit of a moment… like, ‘I don’t get why people want to come and see me.’ And I was like, because you make people feel love, don’t forget that.”

It’s a strange full-circle moment. The guy you grew up watching is now the one you’re reassuring.

“It’s mad,” he admitted. “Like… is this real life?”

Still figuring it out

For all the success the band have had in recent years, Thom doesn’t exactly sound like someone who’s fully settled into it.

“I don’t think we’re a proper band,” he said. “But then you see your name on a Robbie Williams poster and you think… well, that is proper.”

That mix of disbelief and momentum seems to be part of what makes them work.

Life in the studio (and online)

Right now, they’re deep into making a new record, with Thom producing it himself for the first time.

“We’ve just been non-stop… like 18 hours a day in the studio,” he said. “Trying to make something good.”

And it’s not just the music.

“I came into the studio this morning with a great idea… and I had to film four things for socials before I could even sit down,” he said. “It’s just part of it now.”

It’s a different world to the one the artists they grew up with came through, but the goal hasn’t really changed.

“All I want to do is make stuff I care about,” he said. “And play shows. That’s the main thing.”

Why it still matters

For Thom, the real payoff isn’t the charts or the big stages, it’s the connection.

“When someone says a song helped them… that’s better than anything,” he said. “That’s the best feeling ever.”

A big night in Luxembourg

The Lottery Winners join Robbie Williams and CMAT at Luxexpo this summer, in what’s shaping up to be more than just a standard headline show.

“It’s going to be a brilliant day,” Thom said.

And given the mix of personalities on that lineup, it probably will be.
