Robbie Williams is coming to New Zealand for two concerts next year.
The English singer will perform at the Mission Estate Winery Concert in Hawke’s Bay on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 November 2023.
Tickets for his first concert sold out in under an hour. Williams was only planning to perform a single concert but the organisers added a second show because the demand for tickets was so high.
Mission Concert producer James Erskine told Newshub they were pleased they could persuade Williams to book another night.
“We knew it was going to be big, but the speed at which people snapped up the 25,000 tickets was faster than we imagined,” he said.
“It’s a reflection of the calibre of this artist and a reflection of how much people love this event. We are delighted that Robbie has agreed to a second.”
Williams was last in New Zealand in 2018 for concerts in Auckland and Dunedin.
“Australasia is one of my favourite places in the world to tour; I feel so at home there and hugely appreciate the warm, loving welcome I always receive. I can’t wait to do these shows in 2023 and spend some time with my fans,” Williams said.
The event also marks the return of the Mission Concert. Usually an annual event, it has not been held for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous performers have included Rod Stewart, Elton John, Sting and Phil Collins.
Tickets are still available for the concert on 12 November 2023.
