I’VE often regarded Robbie Williams as something of a (s)Marty pants...
Which might go some way to explaining the theme of Take That’s hyped Progress 2011 tour – Back to the Future.
Until now, details have been as secret as the designer of Kate Middleton’s wedding dress.
But I can reveal that Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Robbie are planning the most expensive set ever by a British band.

It is inspired by the 1985 classic film starring Michael J Fox as Marty McFly (inset) and features “flying time machines” as driven by Marty, a Christopher Lloyd-style nutty professor and a special retro section with dodgy undercuts, stonewashed denim ’n’ all. I’m told: “U2’s 360 Tour in 2009 cost £61million and Progress may out-do even that.
“The guys are big fans of the Back To The Future movies and want a time machine metaphor to show how they’ve changed.
“What with Robbie rejoining, they also needed some way of skipping over the years he was absent.” It is understood the quintet will open the show in front of a 90s backdrop, playing the early hits. The middle section will see Robbie, 36, go it alone with his solo hits. Take That, sans Rob, are expected to play tracks from their Circus and Beautiful World albums, before all five reunite for the finale.
They are about to audition dancers for the shows, which kick off on May 27 in Sunderland. Adds my source: “The boys are keenly discussing every aspect of the tour and won’t decide on final details until just days before. But it’s bound to be spectacular.”
