Electric Prom to Robbie Williams


Robbie, who just weeks ago talked about how his crippling stage fright meant he had no plans to tour, will be joined by a string section, horns and a full band for the gig at London's Roundhouse.
The October 20 gig is his first in the UK since his Close Encounters tour of 2006 and will be broadcast on Radio 1.
Robbie's performance will be the first date of the five night Electric Proms season which also features Smokey Robinson, Dizzee Rascal and Doves.
Dame Shirley Bassey has also been added to the bill, the last of the headliners for this year's gigs.
Her concert, the only UK live show this year, will mark her half century in showbusiness and she will be playing some of her most durable hits, as well as songs from her new album, The Performance.
She will play at the Roundhouse on October 23 and will be joined by the BBC Concert Orchestra for the show which is to be aired by Radio 2.
Goldfinger singer Dame Shirley said: "It actually will be a special moment for me."
Tickets for both gigs cost £25 and will go on sale tomorrow at 8am.
