Robbie Williams is taking his new studio album Britpop onto some of the biggest stages of his career.

Germany date anchors a global stadium run
For fans based in Germany, the key news is that Robbie Williams will play a rare stadium double-header in Düsseldorf in summer 2026. Musikexpress reports that he is scheduled to perform at Merkur Spiel-Arena on June 5 and June 6, 2026, currently presented as his only German shows that year and with tickets sold via Eventim German tour overview.
The Düsseldorf dates sit within the wider Britpop World Tour itinerary outlined by international listings, which shows Williams continuing the campaign through Europe, Latin America and down to Australasia. Compared with his earlier arena tours, a two-night stand in a German football stadium significantly increases capacity, giving tens of thousands of local fans the chance to see his new live show in 2026.
How the Britpop World Tour expands
Beyond Germany, the current touring plans turn Britpop into a full-scale world tour. Musikexpress highlights that the newly confirmed leg focuses on stadiums in Australia and New Zealand, starting on November 7, 2026 at Adelaide Oval before moving on to Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, Sydney’s Accor Stadium, Newcastle’s McDonald Jones Stadium and Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium Australasia leg announcement.
The run then continues to Eden Park in Auckland and One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch, where Williams is billed as the first international headliner to perform at the venue. Taken together with the double night in Düsseldorf, the Britpop World Tour positions Williams in the same stadium league as many classic rock and pop acts, underlining how enduring his live draw remains nearly three decades after his solo debut.

How the new album Britpop fits in
Williams’s stadium push is built around his thirteenth studio album Britpop, released in January 2026 via Columbia Records. Specialist music site PM Studio notes that the record arrived on January 16, 2026 and is positioned as a celebration of British guitar-pop and his own 1990s roots album release report.
The tracklist includes songs such as Rocket, Spies, Pretty Face, Human and All My Life, blending indie-leaning riffs with the large choruses that have defined Williams’s solo career. Irish broadcaster RTÉ reports that the album was released slightly earlier than initially planned, turning it into a surprise drop that immediately reframed his upcoming touring cycle around the new material RTÉ album coverage.
