"A week after Oasis delivered the year's most talked about shows, another star forged in the '90s also had a Croke Park crowd in raptures. But Robbie Williams had none of the feverish pre-gig anticipation that was showered on the Gallagher brothers. It would have been virtually impossible to find any adult who didn't know Oasis were in town; the ex-Take That man, by contrast, seemingly flew under the radar."
"Flying under the radar, of course, is not something Williams does by choice. His default is loud, chest-beating exuberance. His on-stage confidence could power the electricity at Croker. He may be 51, but he is determined to outdo the energy he brought to Take That as a teen. More than anything, though, the Stoke-on-Trent native is a born entertainer. He knows this and, early on, quips that while Michael Jackson may have been the King of Pop he, Williams, is the King of Entertainment."
Robbie Williams performed at Croke Park with energetic, chest-beating exuberance, captivating the crowd. He did not benefit from the same feverish pre-gig anticipation enjoyed by Oasis, and his presence initially flew under the radar. Williams projects enormous on-stage confidence that could power the venue's electricity. At 51, he still pushes to outdo the intensity he showed with Take That as a teenager. The Stoke-on-Trent native identifies as a born entertainer and jokes that while Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, he is the King of Entertainment.
