Robbie Williams is having a big 2026 moment: a new album with a record-setting chart milestone, a run of intimate UK shows, and confirmed live dates across Europe (plus a headline FIFA appearance). Here’s the clean, up-to-date roundup—focused on concerts, celebrations, and life headlines.
The biggest celebration: BRITPOP goes #1 and breaks a UK chart record
Robbie’s new album BRITPOP has delivered a major career milestone: his 16th UK Number 1 album, which surpasses The Beatles for the most Official UK Number 1 albums ever (per Official Charts).
Official Charts also published Robbie’s quote celebrating the achievement and positioned it as a historic chart moment.
What to listen for (and why fans are excited):
- Robbie’s own site lists key tracks including “ROCKET,” “SPIES,” “PRETTY FACE,” and “ALL MY LIFE.”
- He also released/posted about the “PRETTY FACE” video as part of the BRITPOP era.
- Reviews from major outlets describe the album as a deliberate throwback to the ’90s—with plenty of personality and unpredictability.
Concerts: “Long 90’s” UK dates (Feb 2026) + how tickets worked
Robbie’s official site confirms a LONG 90’s 2026 UK Tour concept: he’ll perform ‘Life Thru A Lens’ and ‘BRITPOP’ in full.

- 6 Feb 2026 — Liverpool, Olympia

Summer 2026 live dates: festivals + major European stops
Robbie’s official 2026 tour dates page lists multiple confirmed shows from June through September across Europe (including festival slots). Highlights include:

Spanish media also highlighted the Seville date as a notable first-time appearance there (Plaza de España) tied to the BRITPOP/Long90’s era.
Big “event” headline: Robbie + Nicole Scherzinger at the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Draw
FIFA announced a major entertainment line-up for the Final Draw for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ in Washington, D.C., including Robbie Williams, with Robbie set to perform with Nicole Scherzinger.
This matters for fans because it’s a highly visible global stage moment—more “main event” than typical promo.
Life headlines: family focus (without gossip)
In interviews around his recent projects, Robbie has talked openly about fatherhood and family life (he and Ayda Field share four children), framing this phase as a meaningful shift in priorities.
Also in the headlines: the “Angels” royalties dispute (reported legal action)
Several reputable outlets have reported that Irish songwriter Ray Heffernan is pursuing a claim connected to the song “Angels,” referencing an EU “bestseller clause” argument around remuneration. (This remains a reported dispute, not a court outcome.)
