Robbie Williams is set to release his first studio album in nearly a decade, titled Britpop, this autumn. The album draws inspiration from the 1990s Britpop era, reflecting Williams' experiences during that transformative period in British music.

The lead single, "Rocket," is available now and features guitar work by Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi. The track showcases a blend of nostalgic rock vibes with fast-paced lyrics, signaling a departure from Williams' earlier electronic influences.

The album's artwork adds a touch of humour and nostalgia, depicting a young Robbie at Glastonbury Festival in 1995, accompanied by a mock protest scene parodying eco-activist group Just Stop Oil. This imagery reflects Williams' fond memories of that festival as a pivotal moment in his life.

In support of the album, Williams will embark on the Robbie Williams Live 2025 tour, commencing on May 31 in Edinburgh and concluding on October 7 in Istanbul. The tour includes a performance at Dublin's Croke Park on August 23. Fans can expect a series of stadium shows across Europe, featuring a setlist that blends new material with classic hits.
