Take That member and current X Factor judge, Gary Barlow has announced an upcoming solo tour.
Tickets for a Gary Barlow solo tour are going onsale at 10am on Friday (October 19) for a 16 date tour in the UK and Ireland, including a date at London's Royal Albert Hall.
The tour kicks off on November 13 at Bournemouth International Centre and ends January 8 2013 at Belfast's The Waterfront.
A statement on Gary's website says: "I'm really excited about these dates.
"Playing live is my favourite thing and I haven't played a solo show for over a year now. Last year playing two London shows was brilliant, we all had such a good time, so I thought right let's get out and see the rest of the country!"
Gary Barlow is staying busy as the new UK tour coincides with his X Factor duties.
Gary is fitting the dates around his current commitment as an X Factor judge, and ensuring that the concerts are all mid-week so as not to interfere with the X Factor live shows. Gary hasn't toured solo since 1999, making it his first in 13 years.
Looks like that Take That star is due to be busy next year, as he has previously told Radio 1 that he hopes for Take That to release a new album with an accompanying UK stadium tour. Take That's 2011 Progress tour was the UK's highest grossing tour ever.
Gary was also made an OBE this summer, and helped organise the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
The full tour dates are below. Tickets go on sale at 10am, Friday 19 October 2012. For more information visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
