The band will then make their way to Manchester, with a fifth date added due to ‘huge demand’ for the tour’s presale which took place this morning via Ticketmaster and See Tickets.. The fifth show will take place at Co-Op Live on Sunday, May 12, 2024. Tickets for that show will go on sale as part of the tour’s general sale on Friday morning (September 29), alongside the previously announced dates.

This morning's presale, which opened at 9.30am, saw fans who pre-ordered the album from the band’s official store, alongside with registered Co-Op members, being the first to try their luck at securing tickets. Tickets start at £60 before booking fees.

Upon announcing the tour on Zoe Ball’s breakfast Radio 2 show last week, the band said they were excited to get back on the road again. Gary Barlow said: “New music is exciting, we've been together for 33 years so it's like what's next and how do we sound in 2023. It feels like things are going upwards and
