Robbie Williams has revealed he’s finally set to release the album he’s been wanting to make for three decades.
The singer, 51, announced his new record Britpop on Wednesday, inspired by the era in which he famously feuded with Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.
As previously teased, the lead single, Rocket, features Black Sabbath axe-slayer Tony Iommi on guitar.
Speaking about his new music, Robbie explained: ‘I set out to create the album that I wanted to write and release after I left Take That in 1995. It was the peak of Britpop and a golden age for British Music.
‘I’ve worked with some of my heroes on this album; it’s raw, there are more guitars and it’s an album that’s even more upbeat and anthemic than usual.’

Robbie William has announced a surprise new album inspired by his wild Britpop days as he admitted he’s been waiting 30 years to make music like this
Robbie said of the album: ‘There’s some “Brit” in there and there’s certainly some “pop” too – I’m immensely proud of this as a body of work and I’m excited for fans to hear this album’
The album’s artwork features the red tracksuit Robbie famously wore to Glastonbury Festival in 1995, where he partied hard with and briefly befriended Oasis frontman Liam
Robbie continued: ‘There’s some “Brit” in there and there’s certainly some “pop” too – I’m immensely proud of this as a body of work and I’m excited for fans to hear this album.
‘I also can’t wait to perform a song or two from it on my upcoming Britpop tour, which I’m opening in the UK, naturally.’
Robbie has since changed the name of his upcoming tour from Robbie Williams Live 2025 to the Britpop Tour.
The album’s artwork features the red tracksuit Robbie famously wore to Glastonbury Festival in 1995, where he partied hard with and briefly befriended Oasis frontman Liam, around the same time he quit boy band Take That.
Yet relationships between Robbie and the siblings were sometimes strained, with Noel famously branding Robbie the ‘fat dancer from Take That’.
Despite trading insults over the years, Robbie has always loved Oasis’ music and has always admitted he would have preferred to be making that kind of music opposed to his band’s pop hits.
Robbie’s Britpop tour kicks off in Edinburgh on May 31 and will see him travel to the likes of Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Sweden.
Part of his tour will also see Robbie spend two nights at the Co-op Live area in Manchester.

Robbie previously revealed he had ‘written loads of songs’ and is feeling more ‘ambitious’ than ever.
Last year he told Virgin Radio: ‘I’ve got loads of plans. I’ve written loads of songs, I’ve got my film [Better Man] at the end of this year and I’m doing Hyde Park in the summer.
‘I have never been busier, I’ve never been as ambitious as I am right now. I am full of purpose, and I am loving life.’
