Robbie Williams headlines the ABC’s New Year’s Eve celebration – Joining an already supersized, star-studded line up and ready to countdown to midnight on the NYE24 broadcast is none other than international superstar, Robbie Williams.
As well as performing a slew of hits on the NYE24 stage in front of the Sydney Opera House, ABC audiences will be treated to a behind the scenes look at the making of Williams’ brand new, feature length film Better Man, opening Boxing Day.
Robbie Williams said:
“I love and adore Australia, and the Sydney fireworks are truly magical. To be ringing in the New Year in the country where my biopic movie, Better Man, was shot will be the perfect end to 2024 and the ideal start to 2025. I can’t wait to perform and celebrate with my incredible Australian fans”.
The last time Robbie performed in Australia was on his XXV Tour in 2023. The critically acclaimed stadium tour followed his triumphant performance at the 2022 AFL Grand Final.
Williams is undoubtedly one of the greatest popstars of all time. With six of the top 100 best-selling albums in British history, a huge 85 million album sales worldwide, 14 UK number one albums and a record breaking 18 BRIT Awards, he’s ready to entertain Australian audiences and ring in the New Year.
Set to create a New Year’s Eve to remember, Williams joins the already announced line up of Fanning Dempsey National Park (Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey), Casey Donovan, Cyril, 1300, Nooky, Randy Houser, Becca Hatch and G Flip.
In partnership with the City of Sydney, hosts Charlie Pickering, Zan Rowe and Concetta Caristo will kick off festivities on Tuesday 31 December at 8.30pm on ABC TV, ABC iview and across ABC socials on YouTube, Facebook and TikTok.
The concert will also be broadcast on ABC Local Radio, from 9pm AEDT.
International audiences can also tune in to ABC Australia, and the fireworks displays will be audio described for the vision impaired and available on the ABC listen app.
