Robbie Williams is coming back to Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on October 24th, 25th and 27th and is excited about his return to the city saying, ‘I feel like a Scot when I’m in Scotland.’

The 48-year-old famous singer will celebrate his 25th anniversary in Glasgow at the end of the month with the possibility of a reunion with Take That also on the cards.

The three upcoming shows will be testament to his lively figure with crowds set to flock in their droves to see Williams once again entertaining the crowd from Glasgow and elsewhere.

What did he say?

Williams spoke to STV before coming to Glasgow saying, “Welsh, Scottish, Irish audiences – English are great too, but there’s something different in the water up there. There is a greater willingness to release themselves to no inhibitions.

“When I get to Scotland I feel Scottish.

“There is this sort of patriotism where you’re like ‘yeah, you should feel that way about you cause it’s ace here and you’re ace and I want to be a part of that.’

“I think it’s vitally important as a punter – and I speak as a punter – what happens when I go to shows is when they play one I don’t know, I go ‘I’ll give you that. Don’t do it again. Don’t do two in a row.’”
