British pop star Robbie Williams’s free Melbourne gig will prompt city road closures, as fans began gathering more than eight hours before the performance.
Williams, who is in Australia to promote his recently released biopic, announced the free pop-up show on Wednesday evening. He is due to take to the stage at Federation Square at 5pm on Thursday afternoon.
Photos posted to social media showed a small group of fans outside the stage before 8.30am.
Road closures in the CBD will be in place from 3pm to 7pm between Russell and Elizabeth Streets and Flinders Street to Princess Bridge, Federation Square said.
The outdoor CBD venue has a capacity of about 8,000. Guardian Australian understands the venue will release information about the location of a spillover site, if required, closer to the start of the performance.
The free event, which will also feature a Q&A-style interview, will run from 5pm to 6pm.
In a social media post, Federation Square advised fans public transport was the best way to travel to the venue.
“Enter from Swanston Street. Once the Square reaches capacity, fans will be redirected to an overflow area,” the post said.
A spokesperson for Federation Square said safety was the highest priority for the pop-up event.
“That’s why additional safety measures have been put in place by Fed Square including an increased number of security, fencing, first aid, additional amenities, water fountains and a strong police presence,” the spokesperson said.
Williams’ biopic, Better Man – where the singer is portrayed as a chimpanzee – was shot in Melbourne and received funding from the federal and Victorian government. Victorian film-maker Michael Gracey co-wrote and directed the movie.
Williams, the headline performance at the ABC’s New Year’s Eve broadcast in Sydney, performed at the AFL grand final in 2022.
In 2023 he played two solo shows at AAMI Park.
A spokesperson for Victoria police said resources had been allocated to the concert.
“Our aim [is] to ensure those present have a safe and enjoyable evening,” the spokesperson said.
Fans of British pop star Robbie Williams were in for a treat today as a free concert was announced to take place at Melbourne’s Federation Square. However, the excitement turned into chaos as fans started turning out early in anticipation of the event, prompting road closures and causing traffic gridlock in the area.
The concert, which was part of Williams’ promotional tour for his upcoming album, was supposed to start later in the evening. But eager fans started lining up hours before the scheduled time, leading to a surge in crowds that overwhelmed local authorities.
Despite the logistical challenges, fans were ecstatic to see Williams perform live and didn’t seem to mind the long wait. Some even brought signs and banners to show their support for the beloved singer.
As the concert finally kicked off, fans were treated to a high-energy performance from Williams, who belted out some of his biggest hits to the delight of the crowd. The free event was a rare opportunity for fans to see the iconic performer up close and personal, and it was definitely worth the wait.
Overall, the road closures and traffic jams were a small price to pay for the unforgettable experience of seeing Robbie Williams live in concert. The event was a testament to the enduring popularity of the singer and his ability to bring people together through the power of music.
