Take That will perform in Hungary for the first time
BUDAPEST – The most successful British boy band of the early 1990s will also play their new album, which will be released in November, on July 3, 2024, at Budapest Park.
The band, which currently operates as a trio, and which has also previously featured Robbie Williams, will present its new album, This Life, first in the context of a British and then European tour, organizers told MTI on Monday.
Take That was formed in Manchester in 1989, with original members including Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Robbie Williams. Their debut album Take That & Party was released in 1992 and reached number 2 in the UK album charts.
The follow-up came just over a year later: the material titled “Everything Changes” had already reached number one in the UK and brought the group international fame, selling more than three million copies worldwide.
The 1995 album Nobody Else included major hits such as “Back Forever” and “Sure and Never Forget”, and the album topped the sales charts in eleven countries. In the same year, Robbie Williams left the band, and at the height of their success, in February 1996, Take That announced their break-up.
After nearly a decade, four-piece band Take That announced that they would go on tour again in 2006. Their comeback album Beautiful World once again debuted at the top of the UK charts and also achieved a high position on the UK Albums Chart Most popular ever. Take That became the first band to top the official UK singles and album charts and top the radio charts in the same week. In addition to great successes and huge tours, the album “Circus” was released in 2008, which again conquered almost every British chart, and fans immediately bought tickets for the tour.
In 2010, the new single Shame, co-written by Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams, marked an unexpected turn – the pair had not worked together since 1995. Not long after, Williams announced his return to the group, and they re-recorded the album Progress, which became The fastest-selling album of the century on its first day of release. The team also performed at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Two years later, Robbie Williams and Jason Orange left the band, and Take That have remained a trio ever since. Their albums III in 2014 and Wonderland in 2017 were successful; In 2019, they celebrated their 30th anniversary with a 38-stop tour. A total of 650,000 fans were interested in the band in the concert series.
Take That’s ninth album, This Life, will be released in November this year, and a glimpse of it has already arrived – the song Windows. A UK tour will follow the release in the spring, followed by the This Life – Under the Stars European concert series.
