Release Date 6th February 2026
White Colour Vinyl LP
The first song to be released from the album is ‘Rocket’ which features Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi on guitar. The high octane rock track features an instantly anthemic chorus, pounding drums and a signature guitar solo from the heavy metal pioneer. The track, which is written by Robbie, Karl Brazil, Tony Iommi and Tom Longworth, is available now, while the accompanying video will be released this Friday. In the video, Robbie can be seen wearing a punk-inspired outfit – red tartan trousers, heavy chain necklace and a leather biker jacket covered in graffiti – while he moves around several London landmarks accompanied by a flash mob, while other scenes were shot with Robbie and Tony Iommi together in the latter’s hometown, Birmingham.
The album’s cover artwork is a nod to the album title featuring a painting of one of Robbie’s most iconic looks – his red tracksuit outfit that he wore to attend Glastonbury Festival in 1995 at the height of the Britpop era. ‘BRITPOP’ will be available in a variety of formats including CD, deluxe CD, cassette, alt cassette and digitally, while signed bundles will also be available for a limited time via the official Robbie Williams store.
On ‘BRITPOP’ Robbie says: “I set out to create the album that I wanted to write and release after I left Take That in 1995. It was the peak of Britpop and a golden age for British Music. I’ve worked with some of my heroes on this album; it’s raw, there are more guitars and it’s an album that’s even more upbeat and anthemic than usual. There’s some ‘Brit’ in there and there’s certainly some ‘pop’ too - I’m immensely proud of this as a body of work and I’m excited for fans to hear this album. I also can’t wait to perform a song or two from it on my upcoming ‘BRITPOP’ tour, which I’m opening in the UK, naturally.”
