Tickets for Robbie Williams' huge 2013 stadium tour, with support from Olly Murs, are on sale now. Details below.
Williams and Murs announced the shows at a joint press conference in central London. Williams will perform 15 shows across Europe, including two shows at Manchester City Stadium, one at Glasgow's Hampden Park and two at Wembley Stadium London. The UK shows all take place in June 2013.
"I’ve got such a buzz out of playing live again this year," said Robbie at the press conference. "The shows we have done have reminded me how special it is to play my songs in front of a huge audience, with all the excitement and adrenaline that it can bring. Bring on 2013!"
Olly Murs added: "Everyone knows I am a huge fan of Robbie, and I’m honoured to call him my friend. He’s been a huge inspiration to me and given me so much advice throughout my career so far. When he asked me to join him on tour I was over the moon!"

The shows will test the mettle of his No.1 album Take The Crown, which Robbie previously revealed was written with stadiums in mind.
"We are at big stadium sounding album," he told Capital FM in September, before the album's release. "This is going to fit right in in huge areas with thousands of people staring at me."
Robbie and Olly's tour also stops off in Amsterdam, Vienna, Copenhagen, Brussels, Munich and more - before coming to an end on 20 August in Tallinn.
Robbie has previously promised he will take wife Ayda Field and new baby Theodore Rose on tour with him - so the Williams family could be set for a lot of time on the continent next summer.
