Last week it was announced that Robbie’s forthcoming musical biopic ‘Better Man’ soundtrack will be released digitally on December 27 with a physical release to follow. Every pre-order of the ‘Better Man’ soundtrack from the official store, until 6PM tomorrow (Tuesday 12th November) will include early access to pre-sale tour tickets from this Wednesday 13th November (UK dates) and Thursday 14th November (European dates).

Robbie said: “This tour is going to be my boldest yet – I can’t wait to see you next year. There will be songs from the movie ‘Better Man’, and some new music too…but more on that soon”

The Murrayfield Campus hosts over 50 major events per year. Ranging from sold-out Scotland international rugby matches at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, matches at Hive Stadium for Edinburgh Rugby, Scotland Women and U20, community rugby finals days for adult and youth competitions, corporate and business conferences and national fundraising events such as Kiltwalk and Men’s 10k and of course concerts.

Concerts like Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour in 2024, brought in an additional 3,000 front of house show-day staff and volunteers, with many coming from the Edinburgh and Lothians area. The three concerts are estimated to have contributed £77m to the Edinburgh economy alone. All events support local employment and contribute economically beyond the stadium campus.

In August, Scottish Rugby announced that Oasis will be returning to Scottish Gas Murrayfield in summer 2025 for three nights as part of their long-awaited reunion tour. In September it was then announced that Billy Joel is set to return to the UK for two exclusive performances in 2025. Billy Joel will perform at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Saturday 7 June, marking his first time playing in Edinburgh for 46 years.

This will be the third time that Robbie Williams has played at Scottish Gas Murrayfield with his previous concerts being in 2003 and 2017.

Scottish Rugby can announce that Scotland Supporters Club members will have the opportunity to buy tickets through a venue allocation. Details will be sent over email to current Scotland Supporters Club members.

Robbie Williams holds several records for live performances … He still holds the Guinness World Record for his 2006 world tour – selling more than 1.6 million tickets in a single day. As well as the record attendance of 375,000 fans over three nights at his legendary Knebworth shows –  which has never been broken in the UK. More recently, this July saw Robbie return to BST Hyde Park in London for a critically-acclaimed and sold-out headline show.

The tour announcement comes as fans eagerly await the release of Robbie’s musical biopic film ‘Better Man’ which hits UK cinemas on December 26 and sees Williams portrayed as a CGI monkey throughout… Based on the true story of Robbie’s life and directed by Michael Gracey (‘The Greatest Showman’), the film is uniquely told from Robbie’s perspective, capturing his signature wit and indomitable spirit. The film follows his journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-breaking solo artist – all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring.

Discussing the film, director Michael Gracey honed in on Robbie referring to himself as a monkey over and again. “Robbie would say things like, ‘I’m up the back dancing like a monkey.’ After a while, I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be amazing to represent Robbie as a monkey in the film?’ Because Robbie is telling this story – and that’s how he sees himself.”
