Robbie Joins The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert
Robbie will be performing at London's Buckingham Palace on Monday 4th June as part of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert.
He will join some of the biggest names in music such as Tom Jones, Elton John, Ed Sheeran, JLS, Jessie J and Shirley Bassey, to name a few, who've been brought together by the BBC and fellow Take That bandmate Gary Barlow for the show, which will take place in the stunning surroundings of the Queen Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace.
"If this doesn't get me a knighthood, nothing will," joked Robbie. "I can't wait for the show."
“The Diamond Jubilee concert will celebrate the 60 years of The Queen’s reign with an amazing line-up of world-class artists coming together to play at one of the biggest and most exciting live music shows in recent years," said Gary Barlow. "With Buckingham Palace as a backdrop, it's going to be a fantastic event which transcends multiple decades of music. It'll be a great, unique, experience for the thousands attending, watching on TV and listening on Radio. I can't wait!”
The concert will be attended by Her Majesty The Queen, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh and other Members of the Royal Family and will be broadcast live on BBC One, BBC One HD and on BBC Radio 2 in the UK and to millions around the world. If you're in the United States you'll be able to watch exclusive highlights on ABC the next day.

Do you know what would be amazing? Robbie collaborating with Ed Sheeran there. Like, when Robbie was doing Rudebox the sound was pretty similar to what Ed does, except he does it acoustically. They would make amazing music together, ooooooh my
