Take That’s journey has been defined by constant evolution. As one of the UK’s most successful bands, with accolades aplenty (eight chart topping albums, eight BRIT Awards, and six Ivor Novellos to name a few) and consistently sold out live shows wherever they go, the band could be content with touring a back catalogue packed with decades worth of acclaimed hits around the world. But Take That (Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald) aren’t a band to rest on their laurels, and all signs point to the next stage of their evolution being their best yet. Their ninth album This Life is a vibrant body of work that sees them at their most confident musically. The 29-date UK and Ireland tour quickly snowballed into 41 dates due to overwhelming demand and includes six nights at The O2 Arena in London, where they already top the leaderboard for the highest number of gigs played by any artist.
