Singer's shows moved from delayed stadium

Robbie Williams is to move his Wembley Stadium concerts to the Milton Keynes Bowl.

The singer's five shows will still take place on September 14, 15, 16, 18 and 19, however not in London because the football stadium's opening has been delayed until 2007.

The Wembley shows were sold out, and ticket holders will receive an e-mail with further information on the shows.

Ticketholders who are unable to travel to Milton Keynes will be offered refunds.

Bon Jovi and Williams’ former band Take That also changed venues to Milton Keynes Bowl after the delays to Wembley’s completion. The Rolling Stones, meanwhile, have taken their shows to Twickenham.

The European leg of Robbie Williams’ Close Encounters tour, which began in South Africa last month, kicks off in Dublin on June 9.
