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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Electric Proms. Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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."

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Last Night of the Proms to cinema audiences this Autumn.
