Take That will return to Ashton Gate on Saturday, 8 June 2024 as part of a huge stadium and arena live tour to celebrate the release of their ninth studio album, This Life.
One of the UK’s most successful bands, Take That last performed in Bristol as part of the 2019 Summer Series at Ashton Gate, mesmerising a 30,000-strong audience with an exhilarating and jaw-dropping set of their greatest hits.
This Life On Tour will see the trio – Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald – play 29 dates across 15 cities around the UK and Ireland. They will be joined on the tour by very special guest, Olly Murs. For a full list of tour dates, please see below.
Tickets and hospitality will go on general sale on Friday 29 September at 9.30am on TicketMaster.
Jenny Hutchinson, Venue Director at Ashton Gate Stadium, said: “We are incredibly excited to announce the return of Take That to Bristol as our first concert for 2024. Take That are renowned for their spectacular live performances and their last show at the stadium as part of our 2019 Summer Series was one of the most memorable nights we have ever had.
“Following the overwhelming success of this year’s sold-out Arctic Monkeys concert, we are looking forward to having a bumper concert season next summer and Take That are the perfect act to kick it off. With Olly Murs as their support act, we are anticipating high demand for tickets for what promises to be another unforgettable experience at the stadium.”
Take That are renowned for their huge productions and incredible live shows, and currently hold the record for the most performances at London’s The O2 with 34 headline shows. 2011’s Progress tour broke box office records by selling over 1 million tickets in less than 24 hours, becoming the biggest tour in the UK and earning them a place on Billboard’s annual ‘Top 25 Tours’ list, placing third worldwide. In 2019, the band celebrated their 30th anniversary with the 38 date sell-out Odyssey tour which saw them play to 29 arenas and 9 stadiums, selling over 650,000 tickets.
Take That’s brand new single, Windows, out today – sees them reunite for their first original composition in over five years. Windows, is a beautiful track which tells the story of emerging from the darkness into the light. As a familiar falsetto rings out across the opening notes of Windows, it signals a new era for one of Britain’s best-selling bands, Take That; an era brimming with energy, creativity and a continued desire to challenge and surprise.
The musicality of Windows hints at what listeners can expect from This Life, the band’s ninth studio album and their first since 2017’s Wonderland. Beautiful melodies, soaring choruses, sophisticated harmonies beautifully blending the trio’s voices permeate the new album, due for release on 24 November.
“It’s been a wonderful experience being back in the studio together making this record. It has that feeling of spreading your wings, letting out the old and bringing in the new” commented the band. ‘We’re incredibly proud of the new album – there’s a sense of togetherness, whether that’s us coming back together as a band or people wanting connection in their own lives. We’re excited for this new chapter!”
Throughout the writing and recording process, the band honed this new sound in some of music’s most hallowed halls, including New York’s Electric Lady Studios and Nashville’s Historic RCA Studio A which between them have hosted David Bowie, Dolly Parton, The Beach Boys, Adele, Taylor Swift, Maggie Rogers and more.
