Gary Barlow has announced details of a new tour, set to head to the UK and Ireland next year.

Titled the ‘Songbook’ tour, the run of shows is set to see the soloist and Take That member look back on his four-decade-long career, and perform an array of fan favourites from across his discography.

Kicking off in the spring, the tour consists of 41 shows and launches with two back-to-back opening nights at Villa Marina in Isle Of Man on April 17 and 18. It continues that month with further stops in Killarney, Belfast, Dublin and Liverpool.

From there the shows extend into the following month – making stops in Cardiff, Wolverhampton, Blackpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Glasgow and more, as well as two nights at London’s historic Royal Albert Hall on May 12 and 13.

The tour wraps up in June with dates in Newcastle, Nottingham and Leicester, as well as a number of outdoor shows. These come after dates planned for Scarborough’s Open Air Theatre, The Eden Project in Cornwall and Nocturne Live at Blenheim Palace.

News of the ‘Songbook’ tour comes as Take That’s ‘Back For Good’ is set to celebrate its 30th anniversary in March. Released back in 1995, the chart-topping hit remained at Number One for four consecutive weeks and remains one of the band’s biggest hits to date.

It also comes after Take That hit the road earlier this year as part of a huge world tour, titled ‘This Life On Tour’. The shows came in celebration of their album, ‘This Life’, which arrived last year and marked their 12th chart-topping record.

More recently, the band curated a four-day festival in Malta. Taking place in October, the ‘Greatest Weekend’ festival saw them play their ‘Everything Changes’ album live in its entirety for the first time since its release in 1993. The event also saw performances from Sugababes, Sam Ryder and more.
