Take That is renowned for their phenomenal live shows and massive productions, holding the record for the most performances at London’s The O2 with 34 headline shows. The band’s 2011 Progress tour broke box office records by selling over 1 million tickets in less than 24 hours, becoming the UK’s biggest tour and earning a spot on Billboard’s ‘Top 25 Tours’ list, ranking third worldwide.
In 2019, their 38-date sell-out Odyssey tour celebrated their 30th anniversary, playing to over 650,000 fans in 29 arenas and 9 stadiums.
Their ninth studio album, ‘This Life,’ released last year, soared to Number 1 on the UK’s Official Charts, becoming the biggest-selling album from a UK artist in 2023. The album showcases the trio’s exceptional musicality with beautiful melodies, soaring choruses, and sophisticated harmonies, marking a new era for the iconic British band.
Pop legend Sophie Ellis-Bextor, known for her early-2000s hit ‘Murder On The Dancefloor,’ will join Take That on their Australia and New Zealand tour. Riding the wave of a resurgence of her hit song, she continues to captivate audiences, and her inclusion in the tour promises an extra layer of excitement.
Sophie’s hit ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’ recently gained attention in the film Saltburn’s final scene, causing a chart resurgence and making it a must-listen once again.
