Pop star Robbie Williams will close his summer run with what promoters call the smallest ticketed gig of his career at Dingwalls, performing Life Thru a Lens in full and previewing new album BRITPOP a day before its 10 October release.
Pop star Robbie Williams will close his summer tour with what has been billed as the smallest ticketed show of his career, performing for an audience of just 500 at Dingwalls in Camden on 9 October. According to the reports, the intimate London date comes a day before the scheduled release of his new album BRITPOP and will act as a capstone to the run of summer dates. The announcement was first carried by local press and picked up across national outlets.
The Evening Standard says Williams plans to play his 1997 debut album Life Thru a Lens in full before performing material from BRITPOP, positioning the Dingwalls date as both a retrospective and a preview. The Official Charts Company confirms BRITPOP’s release is scheduled for 10 October 2025 and lists the singles issued so far as part of the album rollout, underlining that the new record is being presented as a major release in his catalogue.
Williams’ own website has been used to roll out BRITPOP material: in May the artist’s official channel premiered the lead single “Rocket,” which the site notes features a collaboration with guitarist Tony Iommi. That announcement functioned as primary promotional material for the project and forms part of the build-up to the October release.
The choice to stage such a small, ticketed appearance is striking given Williams’ long history of commercial success. The Official Charts Company’s archives record that singles including “Rock DJ,” “Millennium” and “Candy” all reached number one in the UK, underscoring the contrast between the superstar’s stadium legacy and the scaled-down format of the Camden show.
Organisers and publicity around BRITPOP are framing the Dingwalls date as a deliberate, almost theatrical curtain-call for this phase of his career: a chance to revisit early work, preview new songs and create a rare, close-up experience for fans. The press coverage describes the show as the smallest ticketed concert of his career, noting the 500-capacity venue and its place in Camden’s live-music scene.
For fans following the campaign, the combination of a full-performance of Life Thru a Lens and a first-hand hearing of BRITPOP material at a compact venue underlines how the release strategy is mixing nostalgia with new material. The official channels and chart authorities have set out the timetable and singles to date; the Dingwalls performance now offers a final promotional flourish before BRITPOP’s October release.
