Robbie Williams promises free concert?

    This is debatable but I got excited during the Take That concert at Croke Park where Robbie reminded Dublin that he would play a free gig.

    http://www.rte.ie/ten/2011/0620/robbiewilliams.html

    From what I've heard he wanted to play it while Take That were in Dublin but Gary didn't let him. So with a new album out hopefully before christmas, Robbie might (and just might) be doing a new solo tour next year that could include a free Irish show.

    So what are you all Robbie fans hoping for (if he does a free concert that is).

    I'm hoping that rather than Croke Park again he could do it somewhere like the Phoenix Park. That way tickets can be sold to over 100,000 people + we know the tickets will sell out faster than light if they are free.

    And to all Robbie haters reading this thread, don't even bother. Some of us will get really annoyed with unnecessary trolling. If you don't like Williams music thats your choice, I have nothing against you for having different taste because thats what makes the world go round.

    Otherwise will he keep his promise this time?

    The only way it'll work is by ballot, he'll announce the show and people will be able to apply for a ticket, as it's free expect in excess of 500,000+ applying

    If it's at free then it'll be at Croker as putting a free gig on at Phoenix will cost a fortune in barriers, sealing the place off etc.

    You'll have a 1 in 8 chance of getting tickets

    Believe the new album has been co written with Gary who will also be producing the album.

    It has indeed.

    I'm not sure if that means Gary will be singing on any songs and if we can expect another duet from the two (like Shame) but Robbie did say he wants to get back to his own thing, meaning touring and recording solo.

    But yeah as much as I'd love another Phoenix Park show, Croker seems much more likely.

    I doubt it to be honest, will be pretty much a back seat role for Gary as soon as the album is done.

    I will be very interested in the production side of the album, definitely something I would like Gary to really focus on going forward together with his writing for others.

    Think the two do/will work well together.
