A hint that – following the success of the weekend’s Robbie Williams shows in Bath – the concert promoters and Royal Crescent Society may well collaborate on another musical event. In the not-too-distant future.
Robbie Williams performed two historic outdoor concerts at the stunning heritage site with a combined attendance of 30,000 people as part of his Britpop 2025 tour.
The shows are two of only a handful to have ever been performed at the Royal Crescent, which recently celebrated 250 years since it was originally built.
The Royal Crescent Society and Marlborough Lane and Buildings Residents Association said:
“These concerts have been two years in the making. How wonderful it is to see all our efforts come together in such an intimate show. Senbla understand what we want. They understand Bath. And in partnership with residents and the council, we have been able to deliver a truly spectacular show, one that
Bath will remember for a very long time. Thank you, Robbie Williams, for coming and playing on our front lawn!
Robbie is the ultimate showman. He reached out to the audience of Bath, and Bath responded by ‘wrapping their arms’ around him in love and appreciation. Robbie delivered.
Bath has been awash with excitement over the weekend. Hotels, restaurants, bars & cafes have all been full and buzzing.
A big thank you to Senbla, the council and the emergency & support services for coming together to deliver this concert with us. Without this collaboration, we would not have been able to put on our concert in Bath. Our front garden is precious to us, and Senbla understands that. We look forward to seeing what we can work together on next.”
Ollie Rosenblatt, founder and CEO of promoters Senbla and Senior Vice President of Sony Masterworks, said:
“We’re delighted to have once again brought two nights of incredible entertainment to one of the most spectacular settings for live music in the world at the Bath Royal Crescent.
Robbie’s live show is one that will live long in the memory for all those who attended.
A big thank you to the residents of the Royal Crescent and also to Bath & North East Somerset Council.
We feel privileged to be able to have been entrusted to bring these historic concerts to Bath, beginning with Michael Bublé’s shows back in 2022, and Robbie’s shows this year.
We look forward to working again with all of the stakeholders in order to bring more incredible shows to the Royal Crescent in the future.”
Councillor Manda Rigby, cabinet member for Communications and Civic Services, said:
“What an unforgettable weekend it has been in the city as we welcomed Robbie Williams to the iconic Royal Crescent and saw Bath buzzing with all the other exciting events too. This level of interest in the city as a destination and a crowd of some 15,000 people on each night of Robbie’s concerts is a significant boost for the local economy as a whole.
A huge thank you to all our residents for their patience when events of this scale happen, to Senbla for their staging of these shows and attracting artists of this calibre to Bath, the Royal Crescent for their work alongside Senbla, and to our council teams working behind the scenes. We look forward to inviting other high-profile artists to our city.”
