The UK leg of Robbie Williams’ spectacular “Swings Both Ways Live” tour is set to arrive next week on June 13th. The tour will feature songs from both of his number one swing albums, “Swing When You’re Winning” and last years huge No 1 album, “Swings Both Ways” – as well as some classic Robbie career favourites.
Robbie said of the tour: “This Swings Both Ways tour is very different from any previous Robbie Williams tour, and I think it’s going to be very special. When I was young the television companies in the UK saw fit to broadcast replay after replay after replay of all the classic old musicals.
“I think most kids my age were bored and turned off by things like that, but I wasn’t. I was engrossed in it all, lost in the magic of the glamour, and entranced by the craftsmanship of those times. I want this to be a show that gives you the same feeling that I used to have at my grandma’s on a Saturday night, watching the Morecambe & Wise show on TV: a show with variety and lots of showbusiness moments. I know my jazz hands are going to be so tired after this tour. I intend to do my very best to ensure that every one of you is heavily entertained.”
