Robbie Williams announces 2013 tour with Olly Murs

ROBBIE Williams has announced that he is to embark on a 17 date tour with support from Olly Murs.

Williams, who has recently played a string of successful shows at the 02 Arena, announced that the tour will kick off in Manchester on June 19th.

He said, “I’ve got such a buzz out of playing live again this year. The shows we have done have reminded me how special it is to play my songs in front of a huge audience, with all the excitement and adrenaline that it can bring. Bring on 2013!”

The tour will see the singer play dates in Manchester, Glasgow and London before continuing across Europe.

Olly Murs, who will be joining the singer on the tour, said, “Everyone knows I am a huge fan of Robbie, and I’m honoured to call him my friend.

“He’s been a huge inspiration to me and given me so much advice throughout my career so far. When he asked me to join him on tour I was over the moon!”

This is Williams’ first full tour in over six years, and follows the release of his latest album Take The Crown, which went to number one earlier this month.

Tickets will be available at 9:00GMT on Friday 30 November.
