Robbie Williams Adds Extra Shows To Australian Tour

Tickets for Robbie Williams' October tour of Australia are drying up swiftly around the country, resulting in the British crooner adding a further two dates to his impending antipodean sojourn to help meet demand.

Williams will now perform additional shows for his Let Me Entertain You tour in both Adelaide (Wednesday, 14 October, Adelaide Entertainment Centre) and Melbourne (Friday, 23 October, Rod Laver Arena) to complement his existing first shows at the city's respective venues on 13 and 22 October.

Organisers have advised that tickets for further tour stops Perth (9 October), Brisbane (17 October) and Sydney (27 October) are all selling with haste, so you may want to get onto that sooner rather than later, because — as always — there are no guarantees of more shows.

Edinburgh Military Tattoo to Perform in Melbourne in 2016

Edinburgh Military Tattoo to Perform in Melbourne in 2016

The world-renowned Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is heading to Melbourne for the first time in the show's 65-year history.



It has previously been to Sydney twice, in 2005 and 2010, but the show has only ever been performed outside of Scotland three times.



At least 1,200 performers are expected to take part in the three performances in February next year, with a blend of military ceremony, music and entertainment.



Australian performers will also take part the extravaganza, which will be made up of pipes, drums, fiddlers and Highland dancers.



Show producer Brigadier David Allfrey said the military tattoo had a strong sense of tradition.



"Although it is authentic it doesn't change a great deal, it's innovative," Brigadier Allfrey said.



"I think people do like something that doesn't change all that much and this show has an extraordinary power to reach the emotion and we have very emotional scenes every year.



"When people hear the pipes an instrument where you cannot turn down the volume, it is a very, very special instrument and that noise and sound does create and evoke an emotional response."



The show will be performed at Docklands Stadium and will include a replica of Scotland's Edinburgh Castle.



"The replica here will be built with the statue of Robert the Bruce and Wallace on either side," he said.



"It'll have a draw bridge exactly like we do in Edinburgh."



The set will be built in Australia in sections.



Melbourne Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said the show will be a good way to showcase the city to a worldwide audience.



"You can absolutely guarantee that Etihad Stadium will be full every single performance, and there is a world television audience of up to a 100 million people," he said.



"Melbourne is the epicentre of world events and we're very proud of that."

All five original band members of Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley, John Keeble, Gary Kemp, Martin Kemp and Steve Norman will come together to perform their smash-hit anthems for Australian audiences for the first time since their 2010 Reformation World Tour which saw the band reunited.
