The Songbook Tour promises to be an unforgettable celebration of his extraordinary four-decade-spanning career, and will see him perform songs from his back catalogue of hits with Take That and as a solo artist.
The show marks a hotly-anticipated return to the Eden Sessions stage following an outstanding performance in front of the Biomes in 2018.
The Songbook Tour will be a celebration of Gary’s status as one of the most successful British songwriters and record producers. As part of Take That, he won eight BRIT Awards and sold more than 45 million records.
One of Take That’s biggest hits, Back For Good, will turn 30 in March 2025, having reached number one on its release and maintaining its position at the top of the charts for four consecutive weeks. It went on to become the group’s biggest-selling song of the 90’s.
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 1 million tickets. Their album of the same name, This Life, released in 2023, scored the band their 12th number-one 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.
Rita Broe, managing director of the Eden Sessions, said: “It’s wonderful to be welcoming Gary back to Eden. His 2018 Session was joyful, and his fans are amazing! His hit-filled back catalogue and incredible showmanship will make this a hugely memorable return and a night of celebration.”
Beyond his achievements with Take That, Gary has co-written and produced music for a host of other renowned artists, including Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Elton John and Robbie Williams. Most recently, he wrote the song Running Wild for Jin, member of the record-breaking South Korean group BTS.
