One cannot doubt the larger than life ambition of Robbie Williams in his creative vision for this show. He undoubtedly tried to incorporate a lot but in doing so, he may have inadvertently eschewed the primary aspect of his career – his own hits. With a musical legacy spanning over 11 albums as a solo artist (and fifteen albums including the ones with Take That), he was never going to be in a position to do justice to all of it. That being said, he may have gone too far the other way with a covers-heavy setlist. In my humble opinion, that might have been a miscalculation in the context of an artist trying to reacquaint himself with American audiences. His legacy has been largely built off his own hits as opposed to those of others. This might be my only criticism (albeit a rather significant one) of the concert. Opening with two nights at London’s The O2, the autumn arena tour will be a joyous celebration of Robbie’s 25 years as a solo artist. The tour will then take in Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin. Australasia is one of my favourite places in the world to tour; I feel so at home there and hugely appreciate the warm, loving welcome I always receive. I can't wait to do these shows in 2023 and spend some time with my fans", says Robbie.

He did himself proud. If you're a Robbie fan and can afford to, treat yourself to a slice of Robbie and a slice of Vegas. This event may contain sequences of flashing lights, laser, strobe, haze and pyrotechnics which may affect guests who are susceptible to photo sensitivities and medical conditions. Wynn is the poshest casino in Vegas. The Shops are insane, including a McQueen and a Dior store, so definitely explore the property while you're there for the show. Encore is an intimate theater of 1,500 seats with great sound and the production is excellent. You won't see Robbie Williams perform in such a small venue anywhere else in the world. His voice is much improved since he quit smoking and he seems to focus on hitting the notes in this setting. The set list on his Take the Crown tour was more satisfying for a fan but an uninitiated listener will appreciate the familiarity of the songs in the Vegas set and the humor. It is quintessentially a Vegas show in the tradition of Wayne Newton, Elvis and Dean Martin. Would love to see more strings incorporated into the song arrangements ala Live at Royal Albert Hall.The Mission Concert, which boasts a proud history of presenting the world’s biggest and best entertainers including Rod Stewart, Elton John, Sting, Phil Collins and many more since 1993, marks three decades of amazing entertainment with Robbie’s performances on Saturday, 11 November and now, Sunday, 12 November. Last on tour in Australia and New Zealand in 2018 onThe Heavy Entertainment Show World Tour and more recently, performing two exclusive nights in Melbourne for his Better Man biopic, Robbie is raring to deliver his live show to some of his favourite cities down under in 2023. Robbie Williams is without doubt one of the finest male pop stars of his generation, having sold over 85 million albums, 13 UK number one albums (the most for any solo artist, equalled only by Elvis Presley) and 14 number one singles as a solo artist. Robbie will go on tour later this year bringing his high-octane shows to cities across the UK and Ireland.

Established in 1851 by French missionaries Father Lampila and two lay brothers Florentin and Basil on seven acres given to them by a friendly Maori chief, Puhara, they planted crops and wines. This was the beginning of Mission Vineyards. On the other hand, Robbie Williams may have found the city that embodies his spirit and both him and his concert audience are better off for it. I hope that this performance not only ushers in a new era for Robbie Williams’ relationship with America but also for the many talented popstars from across the Atlantic that have been relegated to relative obscurity in America. I first saw you when you were on America’s Got Talent as a judge. I was so impressed with you I now have a lot of your music. If you ever tour or do a Las Vegas Residency again I would definitely travel to see you. When I listen to you my heart smiles. Disputes, however, broke out between rival tribes and the Mission moved to Meeanee and re-established its vineyards in 1858.This was followed by a video of Robbie Williams being broadcast on the curtains with the crowd cheering on deliriously. The curtains opened to a jaw-dropping stage setup. This was the first indication that Robbie Williams had decided to emulate elements of a stadium concert setup within the smaller confines of a theatre. In fact, the stage set design is one of the smartest uses of spaces I have seen in a very long time. The stage featured three ramps two of which were joined like a horseshoe and a center ramp. There were circular spaces between the ramps which is where the band performed. Robbie Williams made a rather dramatic entry via a suspended platform from the ceiling of the theatre. The concert in this theater was fantastic. I sat in the second row. Being so close to the artist was special! After leaving the band, Williams befriended Oasis, joining in with the drug-fueled parties that came along with their success, This lifestyle took its toll, with Williams becoming increasingly overweight and the subject of much discussion in tabloid gossip columns, distracting Williams from focusing on his own music. In 1996, he released his first single, a cover of George Michael's "Freedom '90," which was largely a disaster. However, his second single, "Old Before I Die" in 1997 showed more promise, displaying a prominent Oasis influence. His debut album arrived the same year, "Life Thru a Lens," finding huge success in the UK. This was followed by the multi-Platinum release, "I've Been Expecting You," in 1998, establishing Williams' solo career. Public parking is sold out at the Eastern Plaza Car Park via Entrance D (Olympic Boulevard). Pre-bookings only, no drive-up spaces. Other parking options can be found here. Started late and lasted less than two hours so a little on the stingy side for those who had travelled thousands of miles to see him.

As part of the highly successful group Take That, Williams stood out from the crowd, with an edgy, tougher look than his pretty-boy bandmates. Following in-fighting and William's dislike for the demands made by their management, he left the band in 1995, pursuing a solo career that would lead to brighter success than what had come before.

Australia is one of my favourite places in the world to tour,” says Robbie. “I feel so at home there and hugely appreciate the warm, loving welcome I always receive. I can't wait to do these shows in 2023 and spend some time with my fans.” It’s a reflection of the calibre of this artist and a reflection of how much people love this event. We are delighted that Robbie has agreed to a second.” Whether it be by car, public transport, taxi or rideshare, there are several options for your journey to the venue. The concert is a reminder that America’s insulation from the European musical mainstream since the mid-90s is America’s loss. It is also a reminder that pop music can be fun, classy, and entertaining without being sonically hollow. It is my sincere hope that Robbie Williams’ return to the American stage forces a re-evaluation of gatekeepers in the American musical mainstream that have largely failed in their endeavor to uphold one of the fundamental tenets of responsible media – diversity. A showman to the very end, Take That favourite turned solo artist Robbie Williams really knows how to put on a show. An artist with an impossible amount of hits, the real genius is moulding a live show that both satisfies his artistry as well as his loyal fan base.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Brilliant overall performance by Jucy on 7/10/19 Encore Theater at Wynn - Las Vegas Confidently striding onto stage, Robbie does a whole circuit of his runway and stage to really lap up the excited cheers before launching into a swing inspired set. Covers by the likes of Harry Richman and Dean Martin allow him to indulge in his favourite genre whilst still showcasing his abilities as a frontman. A brilliant live band supports the singer throughout and a selection of video interludes splits the show. The hit single 'Swing Supreme' divides a jazz heavy first half. It’s been a remarkable time for the iconic, Brit pop-star who will perform for audiences in Mount Cotton, QLD at Sirromet Wines, Geelong, VIC at Mt Duneed Estate and Swan Valley, WA at Nikola Estate. Robbie Williams who is known for is love of performing to Australian crowds is raring to deliver his live show to his favourite cities down under in 2023. A truly entertaining performance. A mix of songs, chatting and jokes. Some people were disappointed Rob didn't do more of his big hits and did some covers, but he is a showman and this was HIS show.My expectations of the concert were moderate – not because I expected to be underwhelmed but because I assumed (incorrectly of course!) that the intimacy of the Encore Theatre automatically meant that the show would be a mellow affair with Robbie Williams sitting on a stool performing mostly swing covers. While covers comprised a significant portion of the setlist, the concert was as far from a mellow affair as it could be. The concert opened with a call to the audience to sing the cheeky and irreverent “National Anthem of Robbie” with the lyrics being projected on to the curtains. The audience obliged with an overabundance of enthusiasm as they sang along hilarious lyrics such as It is New Zealand’s oldest producer of wines still under the same management and its sizeable winery and vineyards, under the control of The Greenmeadows Mission Trust Board, help fund the work of The Society of Mary throughout New Zealand and the South Pacific.
