What a spectacular return to Adelaide, with @robbiewilliams rocking @adelaideoval last night!

A brilliant showman, Robbie had it all - captivating storytelling, irreverent humour, and that unmistakable cheeky charisma. He had us laughing, singing, dancing, feeling nostalgic, and even getting a bit teary.

One of the night’s most poignant moments was his heartfelt tribute to his beloved Dad, who now has Parkinson’s disease. Those who caught Robbie at the Adelaide 500 in 2018 will remember him bringing his Dad on stage to sing ‘My Way’ - making last night’s performance of the same song all the more moving.

The concert was a full-scale production, complete with a big band, backing singers, a troupe of dancers and plenty of glitz and glamour. The sheer scale and spectacle were an unexpected bonus.

And while he may share the same love for Australia at every stop on the tour, Robbie certainly made an effort to connect with Adelaide. From cheeky references to the Crows and Port to plenty of local shout-outs, he showed a genuine appreciation for his audience and the city. It’s always nice when an artist makes the effort to make a show feel personal.

Robbie set out to entertain, and he absolutely delivered! A brilliant blend of showmanship, humour and heart, it was a night to remember, and truly one of the best concerts we’ve seen.

Were you at the concert? Did you love it too?
