Robbie Williams will perform an intimate gig as part of Brits Week in Manchester. The former Take That singer will perform songs from his latest album Britpop and his debut solo LP Life Thru A Lens. Robbie joins the likes of Grammy Award winner Olivia Dean and 1990s psychedelic rock band Spiritualized as part of the concert series.
The gig is to raise money for War Child, which takes place at Aviva Studios in Manchester on Friday, February 27. The Rock DJ singer, 51, will supported by indie pop band Lottery Winners.
He has finished a run of concerts in smaller venues in Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Wolverhampton. Robbie recently impressed a Merseyside audience when he brought his Long 90s tour to Liverpool’s Olympia last week.
Unlike Robbie’s usual stadium and arena tours, Robbie performed in front of a crowd of less than 2,000.
He performed his latest album, Britpop in full. The album, which was released in January, recently made Robbie a record-breaker, overtaking The Beatles with the most official UK number one albums ever, according to the Official Charts Company.

His upcoming Manchester concert will come the day before the Brit Awards ceremony at the Co-op Arena on Saturday, February 28.
Clare Sanders-Wright, head of live music at War Child, said: “Our Brits Week 2026 shows kick off this week and all of us at War Child couldn’t be more grateful to everyone involved in making them happen, from the artists and their teams to the venues, partners like DHL, and everyone else behind the scenes.
“To add another headline show with Robbie Williams is incredible, and we’re sure fans are just as excited as we are.”
Man I Need singer Olivia Dean will perform at Manchester’s Albert Hall on February 26, while Spiritualized, who are best known for their 1997 album Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space, will play at London’s Earth Theatre on February 18.
Other gigs will include guitarist Jack Savoretti and singer Katherine Jenkins playing at London’s Emerald Theatre on February 25.
DJ Fatboy Slim will perform at Newcastle’s Boiler Shop on February 12, and Stargazing singer Myles Smith at the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham on February 24.
All proceeds from the shows will go towards War Child’s work providing aid, education, specialist mental health support, and standing up for the rights of children whose lives have been impacted by war.
