In an exciting announcement, P&O Cruises shared that Gary Barlow is set to deliver two special charity performances during select voyages in 2024.

Following sell-out shows in 2022 and 2023,  Gary is set to grace the stage at the Headliners Theatre aboard the Iona for a pair of voyages this year, departing from Southampton.

And Gary is no stranger to Southampton - he played a sell-out gig with Take That in the city five years ago and is due to perform another this summer.

During their last tour, Greatest Hits Live in 2019, Take That delighted local fans with their catchy pop songs, captivating audiences over two evenings at St Mary's Stadium.

Over two consecutive days in late May, 25 and 26, a massive audience of 30,000 gathered at the stadium.

The legendary pop group stunned the crowd with a medley of their greatest hits from more than thirty years.

The sun shone on Southampton as fans of Take That assembled, many adorned with sparkles and merchandise from the band, ready to make the concert a memorable one.

The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as a multitude of eager fans patiently awaited the arrival of Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald to the stage.

As they made their grand entrance, the trio energetically took to the Pac Man-shaped stage while dressed in blue shell suits, a playful homage to their beginnings.

The evening was filled with a spectacular showcase of fireworks lighting up the sky, soul-stirring melodies performed by the talented Love Soul Choir, and a special joint performance on stage featuring the iconic 80's pop star Lulu.

Displayed in these images are snippets of the show along with the enthusiastic audience, the majority of whom have or want tickets to relive the experience once more when Take That play the stadium again this coming summer.
