TAKE THAT 2015 TOUR !

from digitalspy:

The band will perform in eight cities starting in April, and will be supported by X Factor star Ella Henderson.

The tour will begin in Glasgow before travelling to other cities in Britain and Ireland, and will finish with five nights at the O2 Arena in London on June 4 through June 9, with one day off on June 7.

Tickets for the tour will go on sale from Thursday, November 13 at 9am.

The band said: "We've always been very proud of our live shows and are very excited to be touring again next year. Playing live is something we love the most about what we do and we're looking forward to putting on the most amazing show we can.

"It will have been four years since our last tour, so we're really keen to get back out on the road to play some of our biggest songs from the last 20 years alongside our new ones. We hope to see you there!"

Take That will release their seventh album III on December 1, with the first single 'These Days' due for release on November 23.

This will mark the first time that the band have recorded as a three-piece, as Jason Orange left Take That earlier this year.

Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald will also perform at Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball on December 6.

From ITV.com:

The three remaining members of pop band Take That have announced they will tour next year as a trio.

Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald will perform 24 concerts across eight arenas, kicking off at the Hydro in Glasgow on April 28.
The shows will come four years after the group's last record-breaking stadium tour, Progress, and marks their first without Jason Orange, who said he had quit the band in September.

Robbie Williams has also said he will not be taking part in the tour.
The remaining trio; Barlow, Owen and Donald hit the headlines earlier this year after a judge ruled they had avoided paying the correct amount of taxes on their fortunes. In his ruling, the judge said:
The Icebreaker scheme is, and was known and understood by all concerned to be, a tax avoidance scheme

Tickets are due to go on sale on November 13.

From unrealitytv:

Just weeks after announcing their brand new album as a three-piece band, Take That have revealed that they will be going back on the road next year with a brand new arena tour.

Not only that, the absolutely fantastic Ella Henderson will be joining the guys on tour next year as their support act.

Take That have definitely made the tour extra special by adding Ella Henderson as their support act, as she’s so talented, and it’ll be great to have such a high profile artist on tour with the guys as well, especially since her debut album topped the charts a few weeks back.

But, enough of that and down to business. Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald will be embarking on a 25-date UK tour next year.

The tour is set to kick off on Tuesday April 28 in Glasgow, before ending at the o2 Arena in London on June 9.

The guys are in huge demand, as they’ve announced a few dates per stop, with Take That stopping in London and Manchester for a whopping five nights each.

Tickets for the tour will go on sale at 9am sharp on Thursday, November 13, but if you’re a massive fan, you’ll be pleased to know that there will be an exclusive ticket pre-sale beginning on Wednesday, November 12.

To gain access to the fan pre-sale, you will have to pre-order Take That’s brand new studio album, ‘III’ on Amazon by midnight on Monday, November 10. You will then be emailed a unique code to use on the pre-sale website, and you’ll only be able to gain access to tickets if you have the special code.

But be warned, the pre-sale is only open for FIVE HOURS and it’s expected tickets will sell out within minutes, but fear not, as there will be more chances when tickets go on general sale on November 13.

Of course, it was announced a few weeks back that Jason Orange has quit the band.

In a statement at the time, Jason said he was immensely “proud” of what he’s achieved with Take That over the years, but at a band meeting recently he decided that he didn’t want to commit to recording and promoting another album.

As a reminder of those dates, the pre-sale kicks off on November 12, with general sale opening on November 13.


From manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Take That's new trio line up will embark on a UK tour to include five Manchester gigs in 2015.

Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen will head out on tour next year, after recording their first album together as a trio following the departure of Jason Orange and Robbie Williams from the manband.

The tour news was announced during the ad breaks of Saturday night's X Factor ITV talent show.

The band will star the tour in Glasgow on April 28, before it calls at Manchester Arena on May 21, 22, 23, 25, 26 next year, and tickets are to go on sale on Thursday at 9am.

Gary Barlow tweeted: "We can't wait to get back on the road and see you all, by far our favourite thing to do! #TakeThatLive2014".

Phone lines are set to be jammed by fans - if previous tour announcements are anything to go by.

Their previous stadium tours sold out in record time, and more dates had to be added to cope with fan demand.

The three lads will release the new Take That album III, on December 1.

The news of the 24-date tour comes four years since the band's last record-breaking tour Progress Live which saw the original five-man band back together on stage.

Take That are defined by some of the most memorable and spectacular live productions in UK music history, with previous tours including everything from aerialists, circus performers, a wall of water, holograms, a giant elephant and on the last tour a 60ft robot.

The band said in a statement on Saturday night: "We've always been very proud of our live shows and are very excited to be touring again next year. Playing live is something we love the most about what we do and we're looking forward to putting on the most amazing show we can.

It will have been four years since our last tour so we're really keen to get back out on the road to play some of our biggest songs from the last twenty years alongside our new ones. We hope to see you there!'

Special Guest for the duration of the tour will be rising star and former X Factor contestant Ella Henderson who recently celebrated both her debut single, Ghost and first album, Chapter One reaching the No.1 spot in the UK Charts.
