Robbie Williams confirms NZ tour

Robbie Williams will be playing in Wellington on Oct 31, and Auckland on Nov 3.

Superstar Robbie Williams is coming back to entertain his Kiwi fans for the first time in 12 years.

The British chart-topper will rock Wellington's Basin Reserve on October 31 and Auckland's Vector Arena on November 3.

Williams will finish his Let Me Entertain You tour in New Zealand after playing five gigs across the ditch.

He said he was happy to return to his Kiwi devotees after more than a decade away from our shores.

"Australasia is one of my favourite places to tour. I was gutted I didn't make it to New Zealand when I came down last year, so it's apt I'll be ending the tour in that beautiful country."

Williams has toured here twice - the first time in 2001 for the Sing When You're Pacific Rimming tour, in which he performed to sell-out crowds in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

He returned in 2003, as part of his record-breaking world tour in support of his Escapology album, when he played to a full house at Western Springs.

Tickets go on sale 10am on Monday, May 25. Wellington tickets will be available from Ticketek and Auckland tickets will be on sale from TicketMaster.
