Robbie Williams to headline outdoor concert at King’s Sandringham estate

Robbie Williams is set to headline the first large-scale live music event at the royal estate of Sandringham next summer, it has been confirmed.

The pop megastar, 48, will be joined at the concert on August 26 by a number of “special guests” who have yet to be announced, organisers said.

Giles Cooper, from Heritage Live, said: “It’s been an ambition of us all at Heritage Live to stage a concert for the legendary Robbie Williams and the thing about Robbie is that he keeps getting better and better.

“His 2022 Arena tour show was the best I’d ever seen him perform and for me he’s the best entertainer since Elvis.

“It will be the most magical concert in the most amazing surroundings that’ll live in our memories for ever.”

The outdoor concert comes after Williams’ eight-stop arena tour in October, following the release of his number one compilation album XXV, which includes the newest version of his 1997 hit ballad Angels.

The album marks the 25-year milestone in Williams’ glittering career as one of the world’s most decorated artists, with 14 UK number one albums, having left boyband Take That to pursue a solo career in 1995.

With Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Jason Orange, Take That were hailed as Britain’s biggest boyband in the 1990s, evoking hysteria reminiscent of The Beatles.

While the royal estate has played host to a number of events, including the mile-long Luminate Sandringham outdoor trail this Christmas, the concert will be the first time it has held a live-music event of this scale, organisers said.

The King will spend Christmas Day at Sandringham this year, marking a return to the traditional royal family Christmas on the Norfolk estate where the Queen hosted her family over the festive period.

The King and the Queen Consort are expected to be joined by their wider family as they mark their first Christmas since the Queen’s death.

Pre-sale tickets will be available from 9am on Thursday December 8 and general on-sale tickets will be available from 9am on Friday December 9 at www.axs.com/heritagelive .

Robbie Williams to exhibit his paintings for first time

Exclusive: Williams’s work with Ed Godrich will be shown alongside sale of works by artists including Basquiat

He’s better known for stepping out on stage and providing some of the most memorable British pop moments in recent memory, but now Robbie Williams is swapping the microphone and the spotlight for an easel as he presents his first ever exhibition.

Williams and his creative partner, Ed Godrich, are presenting an exhibition of their black-and-white paintings and curating a sale at Sotheby’s that will feature some of their favourite artists, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Grayson Perry and Damien Hirst.

The pair’s love of street art, which created their bond and inspired their paintings, is the thread that runs through their exhibition and the sale.

Godrich and Williams’s Black and White Paintings exhibition will be on show at Sotheby’s New Bond Street galleries from 13-25 May, while their Contemporary Curated sale runs from 22-28 April and includes works by graffiti writer turned art world star Basquiat, and street artist Richard Hambleton.

The pair describe the Canadian-born New York-based Hambleton – who uses brushes and black paint in pots to create “ immense human shadows ” – as “the daddy” of them all and a huge influence on their work. “He was at the forefront of a revolution that has continued to this day. To own a Richard Hambleton, acknowledges your deep understanding of street art,” they said.

Williams and Godrich, who co-founded the interior architecture studio Godrich Interiors, said they went into “a meditative trance-like state” when they created their own work, and that it was not uncommon for them to forget painting certain parts of the canvas.

“There are references to so many things buried in the layers of each work, some private, some not. On closer inspection each viewer will perceive the content in a totally different way,” they said.

In total, 14 of the duo’s works will be on display at the exhibition, with Williams and Godrich creating the paintings while listening to music (often Annie Mac’s DJ sets ) in their Los Angeles studio that they share.

Other work in their curated sale includes the spot painting, 2- Hydroxypyridine by Damien Hirst, whom they describe as “a mischievous scamp”, and Grayson Perry’s self-portrait ceramics piece Him and Her. “The intriguing thing about this piece is it covers so many areas of Grayson’s creativity. We all need a ceramic of Grayson and a pink creature in our lives,” they said. “Without Grayson, it all feels a fraction normal.”

Williams, an early investor in Banksy, has dabbled in the art market before. In January he put up three works by Banksy from his private collection for a combined estimate of £10m . At the time he said the aim of selling Girl with Balloon, Vandalised Oils (Choppers) and Kissing Coppers was to free up space to be able to buy “new art from new people” and help fund his own work.

The former Take That singer first told fans about his love for art in 2011 . In a blog post on his official website, he said that he was inspired by Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol and had taken up the practice during the group’s down time.

Williams reportedly created 40 large works during the Covid-19 lockdowns, and recently sold greetings card-sized artworks to help promote his new gallery, which doubles as a nightclub that he described as “ the opposite of Studio 54, which was exclusive and pretentious ”.

Godrich and Williams said: “We are proud of what we have created and it is time to share what has been coming out of our brains for the last few years. Doing an exhibition gives the work a chance to breathe outside of the studio.”

28 famous fans and their clubs

Posted: May 4, 2024 | Last updated: May 4, 2024

A look at some well-known public figures with a passion for football and the teams they support...

Every club has a famous fan. Some have multiple well-known supporters. Often, though, celebrities change their minds about the teams they like. And sometimes, attending a match is simply seen as a PR opportunity.

Many famous people have posed in football shirts of different clubs or visited stadiums to watch a match. However, that does not necessarily make them a fan.

But there are plenty of famous folk who are serious about their football – and about the teams they support. Here, a look at some of the best examples...

28. Sean Bean

Sean Bean played the role of a Sheffield United footballer in the 1996 film When Saturday Comes and the Hollywood actor is a big Blades fan in real life.

A regular at Bramall Lane over the years, the Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones star managed a Sheffield United Legends' side versus Fulham All Stars in 2016 and also took part in a protest against the Blades' relegation in 2007, amid their dispute with West Ham over the legality of fielding Carlos Tevez.

27. Bill Nighy

Actor Bill Nighy is a lifelong Crystal Palace fan and has narrated a series of films looking back at the origins of the south London club.

The Love Actually star has also served as a patron of the CPSCC (Crystal Palace Children's Charity) and was congratulated by the club after receiving an Oscar nomination in 2023 for his role in Living.

26. Wladimir Klitschko

Former world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko revealed in 2013 that he had been a Bayern Munich fan for years and posed with trophies that year after the Bavarians won the treble.

The Ukrainian boxer won several fights in Munich and on one occasion, some of Bayern's players came to watch him in action. When Klitschko retired in 2017, the Bundesliga giants posted a good luck message on social media.

25. Gordon Ramsay

Gordon Ramsay caused some controversy by claiming he had played three matches with Rangers' first team in his younger days. It turned out he had not, but he did represent the Glasgow side as a triallist before injury cut short his career.

Ramsay became a celebrity chef instead and has enjoyed a hugely successful career. He still supports Rangers, as well as following Chelsea, and has taken part in Soccer Aid alongside some professional players.

24. Gabriela Sabatini

A former US Open champion, Wimbledon finalist and world number three, Gabriela Sabatini is the best female tennis player Argentina has produced.

Sabatini started played at River Plate at the age of six and retains a strong affiliation with the Buenos Aires club. At a match against Arsenal de Sarandi in February, she was honoured by fans and River legends at the Estadio Monumental.

Sting was born in Wallsend, around four miles from Newcastle, and the singer grew up supporting the Magpies.

A former frontman for The Police and successful solo artist, Sting named ex-defender Bobby Moncur as his idol. He has also admitted that he came close to buying Newcastle when the club was struggling in the early 1990s.

22. Antonio Banderas

Antonio Banderas is one of Malaga's most famous sons and the Hollywood actor is a big fan of the city's football club, Malaga CF.

Banderas often takes to social media to post his thoughts on Malaga games and images from La Rosaleda. In 2020, he lent his voice to an emotional video made by the club and more recently he has praised the fans for their passionate support.

21. Michael Caine

Michael Caine famously starred alongside illustrious former footballers including Pele, Bobby Moore and Osvaldo Ardiles in the 1981 film Escape to Victory.

But in real life, the legendary actor is a Chelsea fan and likes to watch the Blues on his "big high def" television. He also occasionally posts about the club on Twitter.

20. Andy Murray

Andy Murray was a gifted footballer in his teenage years and was offered a trial with Rangers, but turned down the invitation in order to concentrate on tennis.

The two-time Wimbledon winner is a fan of Hibernian and the Edinburgh club let that be known to the world on their social media channels when an English newspaper listed Murray as an Arsenal supporter in 2021. Hibs posted a picture of the tennis star, whose grandfather played for the club in the 1950s, holding the scarf aloft. He does follow the Gunners too, though.

19. Justin Bieber

Ahead of the final leg of his European tour in 2016, Justin Bieber popped in to Barcelona for a visit and even took part in a training session at the Catalan club.

The Canadian singer had a kickaround with the Barça players and showed some neat skills, including a decent left foot, before posing for pictures with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar et al.

18. Andrea Bocelli

Andrea Bocelli was born visually impaired and lost his sight completely when he was hit in the eye by a football and suffered a brain hemorrhage.

He went on to become a famous tenor and has had an extraordinary career in music, but has remained a fan of football and Inter in particular. Bocelli has said he fell in love with the "Grande Inter" of the 1960s and these days, he listens to games on the radio. In 2018, he performed in front of players and staff at the club's training ground.

17. Roger Federer

Before he opted for a career in tennis, Roger Federer was a talented footballer. And while his decision brought 20 Grand Slam titles and millions of admirers, the Swiss remains a big football fan.

Federer's favourite team is FC Basel. The tennis great has been pictured in the club's colours and surprised the players with a visit in 2022 after they sealed a spot in the UEFA Conference League. Now he has retired from tennis, he has been tipped to invest in his hometown club.

16. Robert Plant

Robert Plant has watched Wolves since the age of five and claimed he was hooked on the club after a wave from legendary captain Billy Wright.

Vice president of the Wolverhampton outfit since 2009, the former Led Zeppelin frontman is a regular at Molineux and presented former manager Julen Lopetegui with a signed box set in 2022.

15. Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams was born in Stoke-on-Trent and the singer grew up supporting Port Vale. The former Take That star has often spoken of his love for the club and was welcomed by thousands of fans at a "Homecoming" concert in 2022.

Despite joking that he's "a Spurs fan now" as the club sent him a shirt in 2023 after he reworked his hit Angels to fan lyrics about manager Ange Postecoglou, Williams remains a Vale supporter and has reportedly considered investing in the club.

14. Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal's uncle, Miguel Angel Nadal, played for eight seasons at Barcelona and won five La Liga titles at Camp Nou. But Rafa is very much a Real Madrid fan.

Nadal has often spoken of his love for Los Blancos. An honorary club member, he has said he would like to be Real Madrid president one day. The tennis star was watching in the stands as Los Blancos won their 14th European Cup in Paris. Eight days later, he claimed his 14th French Open title in the French capital.

13. Sylvester Stallone

Sylvestor Stallone is a friend of former Everton director Robert Earl and the Hollywood star was at Goodison Park for a game against Reading in 2007.

Stallone held up an Everton scarf in the centre circle as fans sang "Rocky, Rocky" to serenade him. He later expressed his regret at not buying the club when he had the chance.

12. Norman Cook

Norman Cook, professionally known as Fatboy Slim, has been a fan of Brighton & Hove Albion since moving to the city in the late 1980s.

Often appearing at gigs in Brighton shirts, the DJ presented a new album at the club's old Withdean Stadium in 2004. He is a regular at the Amex these days and owns a 12% share in the Seagulls.

11. Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart was born in England but his love of football came from his Scottish father and he has said he supports Scotland's national team.

In the 1970s, the Maggie May singer met legendary Celtic manager Jock Stein and some of the players. He has been a Celtic fan ever since and has watched the Glasgow giants all over the world.

10. Russell Crowe

Russell Crowe met Francesco Totti and posed with a Roma scarf in 2018, but later claimed to prefer Lazio. He also visited Real Madrid's training ground in 2010.

But the Gladiator star has admitted he grew up supporting Leeds United and after he was urged to buy the club, wrote a series of tweets in which he discussed the possibility. The New Zealand-born actor also narrated a documentary on Marcelo Bielsa's first season at Elland Road.

9. Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie was pictured wearing a Fulham scarf at Craven Cottage in a match in 2014 and the club posted on Twitter that they hoped she would be back soon.

Speaking in 2023, the Barbie actress revealed she had not been to a Fulham game in a while, but said she had pledged her allegiance to the Cottagers. Robbie's husband, British producer Tom Ackerley, is a big Fulham fan.

8. Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran is a big fan of Ipswich Town, having grown up in nearby Framlingham, and the singer is a regular at Portman Road.

Sheeran has sponsored the Tractor Boys for several seasons and is an honorary member of the squad, with the number 17 reserved for him. In a break from his US tour, the singer pulled pints for fans in the pub and celebrated in the dressing room with players after a 3-0 win over Hull City in October 2023.

7. Elton John

Sir Elton John started watching Watford at Vicarage Road with his father at the age of five and has had a long affiliation with the club since.

The singer bought Watford in 1976, became chairman and president, and guided the Hornets up through the leagues. He sold the club in 1990, but later bought it back and eventually stepped down in 2002. He remains honorary life-president and is still a big fan.

6. Noel & Liam Gallagher

Noel and Liam Gallagher might not agree on much these days, but the two brothers are both big fans of Manchester City.

The two Oasis stars used to watch City at Maine Road with their father in the 1970s and have both been vocal of their support of the club. The pair posed for pictures in City shirts back in 1994 and Noel has become a friend of manager Pep Guardiola.

Adele's songs are all about suffering and loss. It is perhaps fitting, then, that she is a fan of Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham born and bred, the multi-platinum artist now lives in Los Angeles, but posted a picture with a Spurs scarf in Chicago on her Instagram in 2016 and belted out a rendition of Glory, Glory Tottenham Hotspur in 2021.

4. Idris Elba

Idris Elba is an acclaimed actor, a rapper, singer and a DJ. He is also a fan of Arsenal Football Club.

A regular at the Emirates Stadium over the years, the Hollywood star has often spoken of his affection for the Gunners and said he would be "physically sick" if rivals Tottenham were to win the Premier League. A true fan.

3. LeBron James

LeBron is not just a Liverpool fan, but also partial owner of the club after buying a 2% share in the Reds in 2011.

The NBA star visited Anfield to watch Liverpool take on Manchester United in 2011 and spoke about how he had read up on club legends Sir Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard. He has also linked up with the Reds to launch a clothing collection.

2. Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks held up an Aston Villa scarf at the premiere of his film Charlie Wilson's War in 2008 and later spoke of how he was attracted to the Birmingham club due to it's old-worldly name.

Hanks spoke of his affection for Aston Villa on James Corden’s Late Late Show in 2019 and finally made it to Villa Park in February 2023, mixing with players, staff and supporters ahead of a 4-2 loss to Arsenal.

1. Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts famously upset Pep Guardiola by watching Manchester United play in 2016 and not the Catalan's City side.

The Oscar-winning actress appeared on the Graham Norton Show in 2023 and revealed she is a "true fan" of the Red Devils, saying she got into the team while watching with her children. She did congratulate Pep after City's treble triumph, though.

After the enormous success of Robbie Williams’ album The Heavy Entertainment Show, he will be taking the show on the road, we’ve got all the details

• LAUREN WINDLE
• Published : 19:30, 4 Jun 2017
• Updated : 19:31, 4 Jun 2017

SELF-PROFESSED national treasure Robbie Williams never fails entertain audiences with his cheeky chat and boyish charm.

Last year he burst back onto our screens promoting his new album The Heavy Entertainment Show featuring his comeback single Party Like A Russian.

When does the tour start and what are the dates?

The controversial star’s new album is his 11 th and to mark the achievement he is taking his show on the road.

Robbie Williams' tour will started on June 2, 2017 and continues until September 10, 2017.

The UK dates of Robbie's The Heavy Entertainment Show tour are:

• June 2 - Manchester

A full list of the dates are available on Robbie Williams’ website.

Where will the tour go?

The tour kicked off in Manchester and will move around the UK and Ireland, calling at Southampton, Edinburgh, Coventry, Dublin, Cardiff and London.

Robbie then goes continental, with the show moving through Europe, destinations include Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Prague, Budapest, Zurich and Moscow.

What will he play?

The set list for the show is yet to be announced but we can safely make some predictions based on previous shows.

It’s likely he’ll kick off with something from his new album possibly his comeback single Party Like a Russian or the album’s eponymous track The Heavy Entertainment Show.

He’ll then probably do a mix of new tracks with a smattering of his old classics, including Rock DJ, Let Me Entertain You and Millennium.

Previous shows have seen Robbie also incorporate a few covers like Royals by Lorde and a cover of John Kander’s New York, New York Theme.

The British star is likely to round things off with a few more classics like Kids, Feel and possibly his 2014 song Sensational.

Before ending with a grand finale which we predict will include new single Love My Life followed by Angels.

Jazz Sabbath

Jazz Sabbath are a British Black Sabbath covers band with a fictional back-story claiming that they are a 1960s jazz trio and are the original writers of Black Sabbath songs, with Ozzy Osbourne's Black Sabbath later plagiarising them. They play jazz renditions of the Black Sabbath catalogue, with the band fronted by Milton Keanes (Adam Wakeman).

The band released their debut eponymous album in 2020, featuring the songs: "Fairies Wear Boots", "Evil Woman", "Rat Salad", and "Iron Man", among others.

Follow-up album, "Jazz Sabbath Vol. 2" was released in 2022, featuring versions of: "Paranoid", "Snowblind", "Behind the Wall of Sleep", and more.

Billie Eilish at Birmingham Utilita Arena - stage times, seating plan, support act, tickets, parking and more

Billie Eilish is playing at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham this week as part of her ‘Happier Than Ever’ world tour

• 09:58, 14 JUN 2022
• Updated 11:23, 14 JUN 2022

Global megastar and singer-songwriter Billie Eilish is bringing her worldwide tour to Birmingham’s Utilita Arena this Wednesday, June 15. There are still some tickets remaining for the show on Ticket Factory .

Billie Eilish first rose to fame in 2015 with her song ‘Ocean Eyes’, and is now perhaps best known for being the voice behind the James Bond ‘No Time To Die’ track. She now has seven Grammys and even an Oscar.

Now, the 20-year-old is bringing her ‘Happier Than Ever’ tour to the Utilita Arena in Birmingham’s city centre. Big concerts in the city usually come with a number of questions from fans, like what time will Billie come on stage? Who is her support act? How should I get to the venue?

Billie Eilish is performing at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham this Wednesday, June 15. The tour date was originally postponed from July 2020 due to the pandemic.

Who is supporting Billie Eilish in Birmingham?

What time should I get to the Utilita Arena to see Billie Eilish?

Doors open at 6pm, so you should aim to arrive as close to that time if not before, given the capacity of almost 16,000 in the venue. Bag checks will also need to take place beforehand meaning a high likelihood of queues.

What time will Billie Eilish perform at the Utilita Arena - concert set times?

After the doors open at 6pm, support act Jessie Reyes will perform at 7:35pm. She will be followed by Billie Eilish at 9pm, with the concert finishing at approximately 10:40pm.

Can I bring a water bottle into the Billie Eilish concert?

Robbie Williams Surprises Taylor Swift Fans By Joining Her On Stage For 'Angels' Rendition

Entertainment Editor, HuffPost UK

Taylor Swift fans got a surprise from Robbie Williams at her gig on Saturday night.

The singer joined Taylor on stage for rendition of his hit ‘Angels’, as she played her latest show at Wembley Stadium.

Fans were blown away by the performance, which was hailed as a real “moment” on social media.

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever screamed so loud as when Robbie Williams came up from the stage to sing Angels with Taylor Swift that was the most insane moment of my life — charlotte cunningham 🦋 (@whenshewaschar) June 23, 2018

Taylor Swift’s surprise guest tonight was Robbie Williams and it was unironically one of the best and most confusing moments of my life pic.twitter.com/Ga3lOHbemB — Lex Croucher (@lexcanroar) June 23, 2018

Honestly of all the people to show up at Taylor Swift’s concert, I was not expecting Robbie Williams. But what a moment when you get an unexpected stadium singalong to Angels. 🙌🏻🐍❤️ — Amy (@AJgeorge) June 23, 2018

Robbie Williams and @taylorswift singing Angels together is the moment I didn’t know I needed. #reputationstadiumtour pic.twitter.com/wOFzPZ9kUZ — Rebecca Lewis (@bexlewis361) June 23, 2018

Wow. Seriously. @taylorswift13 what a show. Getaway Car was voted our family favourite moment; but Angels with Robbie was some singalong surprise! pic.twitter.com/jPNfqxmO2r — stewart vandermark (@TheStewartV) June 23, 2018

However, it is not the first time she has brought on a surprise guest during her ‘Reputation’ tour.

On Friday, former One Directioner Niall Horan came out to duet on his single ‘Slow Hands’ with her.

Taylor’s tour has made a number of headlines since it kicked off at the start of May, initally surrounding the huge snake statues the set features, in reference to her feud with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

More recently, she was hit by reports of poor ticket sales for her UK stadium shows, which has been blamed on high ticket prices.

Meanwhile, Robbie is said to be gearing up for a judging role on ‘The X Factor’.

It has been rumoured he and wife Ayda Field will be joining the panel for the show’s 15th series later this year, replacing the departing Nicole Scherzinger and Louis Walsh.

While nothing has yet been confirmed, Robbie remained coy about the claims during an appearance on ‘This Morning’ last week.

He said: “If there is an ‘X Factor’ in my future, whether it be this year or next year or never, I’m scared for my own safety and health but not because of the people out there, the public, Twitter or Instagram, my wife. She is an A+ student from Beverly Hills, incredibly square, she is like ‘why would you do that?’

“She is supposed to be doing it with me. I have read those reports too. I would say…as it happens people say that every year and we say ‘no comment’. Yeah, there is a lot of me that would love to do it too. But as it happens, people are talking nothing has been signed. But watch this space.”

Kedar Williams-Stirling, Emeka Sesay and Francis Lovehall play three football-obsessed teens in director Daniel Bailey’s “energetic, artfully staged production” (Evening Standard).

‘The way they’re changing endz is nuts.’

Red Pitch. South London. Three lifelong friends Omz, Bilal and Joey are playing football. Like they always have. Living out dreams of football stardom. Beyond their football pitch, local shops are closing, old flats are being demolished as new flats shoot up, some residents struggle to stay while others rush to leave.

When a small football pitch has been a home from home, a place you’ve laughed, fought and forged friendships, what happens when it’s under threat?

The fast-paced and sharp-edged play by Tyrell Williams tells a powerful story of gentrification versus regeneration and the impact of this relentless change on London’s communities.
