The Songbook Tour will celebrate Gary Barlow’s status as one of Britain's most successful songwriters and record producers. As part of the group Take That, he has won eight BRIT Awards and sold over 45 million records. One of the band's biggest hits, 'Back For Good', will turn 30 in March 2025.

The track is still ranked as one of the UK's favourite-ever pop songs having reached No.1 on its release in March 1995 and remaining top of the charts for four consecutive weeks, going on to become the band's biggest-selling song of the 90's.

This year, Gary hit the road with his fellow Take That bandmates for a huge world tour, playing sell-out shows and delighting their huge fanbase around the world with This Life On Tour, which saw them sell over 1 million tickets. One venue the trio visited was Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium, where they thrilled fans for the second time at the ground.

Tickets for the Teesside performances will go on sale on Friday, November 29, at www.stocktonglobe.co.uk
