Gary Barlow announces FlyDSA Arena Sheffield concert for next year

Gary Barlow has today announced a brand new solo tour for summer 2021 - Music Played By Humans - The Tour. He will be playing at Sheffield’s FlyDSA Arena on Saturday 5 June 2021, where Gary will be joined with a full orchestra.

The illustrious performer whose career spans three-decades will bring to life songs from his latest album, and Gary will also be joined by a special guest in, Beverley Knight.

This week, Gary announced news of his first solo album in seven years, ‘Music Played By Humans’, which is set for release on 27th November 2020 and the first single, out now, is the incredibly catchy Latin pop fusion track ‘Elita’, featuring Michael Bublé and Sebastián Yatra.

The album also features an array of collaborations with stars from around the world including James Corden, Michael Bublé, Sebastián Yatra, Barry Manilow and Avishai Cohen.

The tour will take inspiration from the orchestral and big band music which captured Gary’s imagination as a child and eventually led to his new album of original compositions. A true showman at heart, Gary is famed for his engaging and energetic live shows which enthral audiences everywhere he goes.

Gary said: “I love performing. I’ve missed it so much. I’m excited to think about how the new songs on the album will sound live and with an audience! I’m just really looking forward to getting out there and seeing everyone again.”

Tickets for the FlyDSA Arena Sheffield show on Saturday 5 June 2021 will go on general sale Friday 9th October at 9.30am and will be available online at www.flydsaarena.co.uk.
