Gary Barlow has announced details of a brand new solo tour for 2025. The Songbook Tour 2025, is set to be a huge celebration of his illustrious four-decade-spanning career, and will see him perform an array of songs from his much-celebrated back catalogue of hits with both Take That and as a solo artist.
The Songbook Tour will celebrate Gary Barlow’s status as one of Britain’s most successful songwriters and record producers. As part of the group Take That, he has won eight BRIT Awards and sold over 45 million records. One of the band’s biggest hits, Back For Good, will turn 30 in March 2025. The track is still ranked as one of the UK’s favourite-ever pop songs having reached No.1 on its release in March 1995 and remaining top of the charts for four consecutive weeks, going on to become the band’s biggest-selling song of the 90s.
This year, Gary hit the road with his fellow Take That bandmates for a huge world tour, playing sell-out shows and delighting their huge fanbase around the world with This Life On Tour, which saw them sell over one million tickets. Their album of the same name, This Life, released in 2023, scored the band their 12th No.1 album in the UK, spawning massive hits including Windows and This Life. The band also curated their very own four-day festival in Malta in October - The Greatest Weekend, where they performed their iconic album Everything Changes live, in its entirety for the first time since its release in 1993.
Aside from his achievements with Take That, he has also co-written and produced music for other renowned artists including Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Elton John and Robbie Williams, and most recently, he wrote the song Running Wild for JIN from Korean super group, BTS.
Earlier this month Gary toasted the 3rd anniversary of his award-winning wine range, Gary Barlow Wines with the release of a 5-part ITV series, Gary Barlow’s Wine Tour: South Africa, which saw the much-loved musician explore the other passions in his life of wine and travel. With over 10 million glasses of his wine sold, the brand continues to grow its following among wine lovers across the UK.
