News article from Pollstar:
Global superstar Robbie Williams has signed with WME for worldwide agency representation, and also joined the roster of London-based ATC Management.

Williams is one of the most successful music artists in the world with 90 million album sales worldwide, six of the Top 100 best-selling albums in British history, and a record-breaking 16 UK Number 1 albums.

Across his celebrated career, he has received awards from countries all over the world, including a record 18 BRIT Awards, 8 German ECHO Awards, 3 MTV European Music Awards and 2 GRAMMY nominations, and five Ivor Novello Awards, including the prestigious Icon Award at The Ivors 2025.

In January 2026, Williams released his album Britpop, and has announced a series of European headline and festival appearances, followed by arena and stadium shows in South America, closing the year with stadium dates in Australia and New Zealand.

He last toured arenas and stadiums in 2025. Highlights from Pollstar Boxoffice include a sold-out Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna, Austria, July 12, 2025, where he moved 53,687 tickets at a $6,836,144 gross, promoted by Barracuda Music; a massive Croke Park Stadium performance in Dublin, Ireland, Aug. 23, which sold 79,676 tickets at a $10,536,365 gross, promoted by Live Nation / Gaiety Investments (MCD Productions); and two sold-out Co-op Live performances, June 10-11, 2025, which moved a total 33,076 tickets and grossed $4,994,030, promoted by SJM Concerts.

This year, Williams surprised with a few intimate UK shows, at places like Barrowland in Glasgow, Scotland; the O2 Academy Brixton in London; or Wolverhampton Civic Hall. His sold-out Feb. 6 show at Liverpools Eventim Olympia for instance, sold 1,781 tickets, grossing $301,867.

Williams holds several records for live performances, including the Guinness World Record for his 2006 world tour, when he sold more than 1.6 million tickets in a single day. As well as the record attendance of 375,000 fans over three nights at his legendary Knebworth shows in 2003 – which has so far not been broken in the UK.

His move to WME follows a long-time partnership with X-Ray Touring’s Ian Huffam, who stepped down from his position as worldwide agent for Robbie Williams after 28 years in April this year. He used to be repped by CAA exclusively in the U.S.

Williams’ team at WME comprises Keith Sarkisian, Phil Raskind, Josh Javor, Rob Markus, and Dave Tamaroff.

Before ATC Management, Williams was a ie:music client, the company founded in 1992 by Tim Clark and David Enthoven. Enthoven died in 2016, and Clark announced his retirement in 2023. Williams told Music Week back then: “Tim and David have been such an incredible influence on my life, both professionally and personally. We sadly lost David almost seven years ago, and we all miss him every day. I don’t know where I would be without the support and guidance of them both – they came into my life at the time I really needed them. Thank you, Tim, for the best ride.”

In June 2025, Robbie was announced as the Official FIFA Music Ambassador – co-writing and recording the first ever Official FIFA anthem, ‘Desire’. The track will be played at all future FIFA tournaments, including the current FIFA World Cup 26.

His film projects include the Oscar-nominated ‘Better Man’ (2024) and an acclaimed autobiographical documentary for Netflix, while his visual art and sculpture has been the subject of several major exhibitions.

Robbie Williams spoke to g1 in Brazil. Here’s a synopsis of the interview.

Robbie Williams will return to Brazil for a single show in São Paulo on October 13th, at Allianz Parque. And the singer will experience being in the country "as if it were the first time".

In an interview with g1, when remembering his visit 20 years ago for the Rio de Janeiro show, he describes a trip without any memorable moments.

“I didn’t experience anything beyond the hotel and a plane trip,” he summarizes.

At that time, Robbie Williams was coming to Brazil with the “Close Encounters” tour, which mixed his greatest hits with some singles from his most recent work, “Intensive Care.”

"It was a very strange time for me. I was the main character in a movie that the whole world was watching. The main character, in this case, had mental health problems, fear, very high anxiety, and addiction issues," he explains.

"Trying to understand what was happening in my life at that specific time was terrifying. And fun. And also a little traumatic."

Now, at 52, living a "family man" phase where music occupies a formal work space, but with greater freedom, the singer returns to Brazil wanting to experience getting to know our people better.

And, when asked what he is most curious to experience in Brazil: "Brazil is a mystical country for the rest of the planet, there is a special feeling for Brazilians, for its people, that is not common. You guys nailed the branding,"

On why the album is called Britpop:
"I chose that name because I'm British and because I make pop music," he told g1, frowning and remaining silent for about 10 seconds before continuing with his answer.

"I also wanted to make a joke, because I wasn't part of the Britpop movement back in the 1990s. And, at that time, nobody wanted to be involved with that movement." So, I took the opportunity to tease a bunch of people who believe I can't be associated with something like Britpop today."

The singer has a point. Back in the 1990s, he and his group, "Take That," were more like an electronic pop boy band.

In "Britpop," Robbie Williams fully embraced the rock sound of his "colleagues," the Gallagher brothers, who last year joined forces and toured the world with Oasis.

The album earned the singer a major record: he became the first artist to have 16 albums at the top of the UK charts. The previous record was held by the Beatles.

And how does he feel when he hears that he surpassed the Beatles?

"I feel many things. One of them is shame. They are the Beatles and I am Robbie from Stoke-on-Trent. But also, I can breathe a sigh of relief because nothing bad happened along the way. That's 16 number one albums. What happens if you come in second place?" I don't want to find out.”

"I was in a boy band when I was 16. Around me, the guys were making music with guitars, the opposite of what was happening to me. If I borrow something from that time, it's just the memory of what I liked musically."

Speaking of the 1990s, the singer frequently repeats in interviews that that era was a last great period of cultural innovation, including in music.

When talking about his vision of the past decade, he begins his answer by mentioning people's lack of attention nowadays.

"In the 90s, there was time to breathe. Something happened, we accepted it and then lived with it. And nowadays, something happens and, a second later, something else happens. Now everything is based on dopamine from one second to the next. I don't know if that was your question, but that's my answer." The question was about that, but the answer has a "hidden" point. And one that he chooses not to address in the interview.

Robbie and his wife, Ayda Field, are activists for UK government restrictions on children's use of social media.

The "raise the age" campaign calls for local authorities to enforce a new age limit for access to social networks – raising it to 16. The couple has four children between the ages of 12 and six and, obviously, is directly affected by one of the major technological problems of the 21st century.
