A Legacy of Spectacular Performances

Their accolades include holding the record for the most performances at London’s iconic venue, The O2, with an astounding 34 headline shows.

Their 2011 ‘Progress’ tour set the bar even higher by selling over a million tickets in under 24 hours, making it the largest tour in the UK and securing them the third position on Billboard’s ‘Top 25 Tours’ list worldwide.

In 2019, the band celebrated their 30th anniversary with the sell-out ‘Odyssey’ tour, encompassing 38 dates and captivating over 650,000 fans in arenas and stadiums.

To commemorate their comeback, Take That has released the captivating single ‘Windows,’ marking their first original composition in over five years.

This enchanting track narrates the journey from darkness into light, signalling a fresh era for the beloved British band.

‘Windows’ hints at the musical tapestry woven throughout ‘This Life,’ the trio’s ninth studio album and the first since 2017’s ‘Wonderland.’

The album, slated for release on November 24th, boasts beautiful melodies, soaring choruses, and harmonies that gracefully blend the voices of the trio.

Commenting on the album, the band expressed, “It’s been a wonderful experience being back in the studio together making this record.

“It has that feeling of spreading your wings, letting out the old and bringing in the new. We’re incredibly proud of the new album – there’s a sense of togetherness, whether that’s us coming back together as a band or people wanting connection in their own lives. We’re excited for this new chapter!”

A Creative Journey Across Legendary Studios

Throughout the process of writing and recording, Take That honed their new sound in some of music’s most revered halls, including New York’s Electric Lady Studios and Nashville’s Historic RCA Studio A.
