It’s been over three years since Robbie's last live show in the UK and he's back for one night only to open this year's ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Electric Proms. ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Electric Proms 2009: Robbie Williams will feature new material from Robbie's forthcoming album 'Reality Killed the Video Star' alongside some of his classic tracks accompanied by a string section, horn section and a full band, all under the musical direction of Trevor Horn. "He's added something to the record that I haven't had on previous records – his genius" says Robbie "I just think it sounds big – track after track after track". Robbie is one of the world's most successful solo artists holding 15 Brit Awards (more than any other artist in music history), and 38 international awards including 17 awards for 'Best International Male'. He has had 8 no.1 albums in the UK, a success that has been mirrored in many countries around the world. His epic Close Encounters tour in 2006 set a world record selling 1.6 million tickets in a single day.

Robbie Williams said: "It's very exciting to think that a one-off performance I play in London can now be seen simultaneously by people all across the world".

Salim Mukaddam, Head of Commercial Affairs for ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Worldwide Music said: "We are very excited to be working with an artist of Robbie's calibre in order to create what is likely to be the largest live music cinematic event of its kind in Europe. The Electric Proms is now an established event on the British music calendar and ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Worldwide is proud to be able to extend the reach of the event to music fans across around the globe. Robbie is going to open the Proms with a bang that is now set to resonate around the world" Commenting on his forthcoming performance Robbie said, "I'm looking forward to playing my new songs, working with Trevor Horn again and seeing how people react to what I've been doing."

³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Worldwide Music is thrilled to give Robbie's international fans the opportunity to join in with this event which follows the success of the international theatrical release of ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Last Night of the Proms to cinema audiences this Autumn. ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Worldwide Music will be partnering again with BY Experience to bring this unique event to audiences worldwide.
