Robbie Williams conquers Gelsenkirchen: an unforgettable concert evening!

Probably the greatest entertainer of today announced his comeback: Robbie Williams kicked off his eagerly awaited “Britpop” tour on June 29, 2025 in the sold-out crowd Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen. With this show, the British native marked the first of a total of seven concerts in Germany and delighted his fans with a colorful program that left nothing to be desired.

The anticipation was palpable when the organizer opened the gates at 4 p.m. and the audience gradually streamed into the arena. The Weather forecast promised a warm evening without rain, which further boosted the fans' spirits. The spectacle began at 7:30 p.m., supported by the “Lottery Winners” as special guests.

An unforgettable evening

With his signature question “Did you miss me?” Robbie Williams introduced himself to his fans right at the beginning of the concert. Cheers erupted as he proudly presented himself as the “King of Entertainment,” and to match, he wore a T-shirt with the refreshing words “Narcissist.” Over the course of the two-hour show, he left no doubt as to why he is one of the greatest in his field. He skillfully combined hits from his solo career with borrowings from his time with Take That and swing elements.

The show began with the energetic song “Rocket” and shortly after, the star transformed into an astronaut. The stage design was impressive: Williams was accompanied by eight dancers and two background singers, which gave the presentation additional pizzazz. Memorable moments were complemented by thoughtful videos in which he discussed the influence of modern technology on pop culture. He spoke openly about his own fears about the loss of meaning in today's world and how important his family is to him in these moments.

Additionally, Williams interacted with his fans in a charming way. He dedicated the song “She’s the One” to the audience member Patricia, which further enhanced the personal touch of his performance. A special stage in the center of the arena was used for the classic “Supreme”, which was accompanied by the never-ending sounds of “My Way” and the encores “Feel” and “Angels”.

A look into the future

His tour will run until autumn 2025, with concerts in cities such as Hanover, Leipzig, Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt following the appearance in Gelsenkirchen. This tour is part of his new “Britpop” tour, which is linked to a new album due for release in autumn 2025. Williams has already made a name for himself, having sold over 85 million albums worldwide and being the youngest member of Take That.

However, anyone who missed the concert experience has the chance to get tickets for the upcoming performances. Sales of the seats started at just 144.84 euros and were a hot commodity that sold quickly. There are a variety of options for getting there: In addition to the generous parking spaces directly in front of the arena, the Veltins Arena is also easy to reach by public transport, for example via tram line 302.

The Britpop tour definitely has what it takes to open a new chapter in Robbie Williams' career. The mix of nostalgia, emotional moments and artistically impressive performance makes this show unforgettable and makes the hearts of its fans beat faster.
