Robbie Williams' Bath gig 'chaotic' premium ticket holders say
Premium ticket holders say they feel let down after paying double the price for a "chaotic" experience at a Robbie Williams sold-out event on Friday was the first of two performances to be held at the Royal Crescent in Bath, Somerset. The singer performed to 15,000 people in what was described as "the most intimate show of his tour".But those who splashed out on a Golden Circle ticket said they did not receive the VIP experience they were promised and were instead "crammed" into the promoters Senbla said the issue has been "rectified for this evening's concert by putting into place stronger communications lines between our security teams and event staff". A Golden Circle ticket cost about double the price of general claimed to offer a spacious standing experience, access to a VIP hospitality area, a dedicated entrance and food and drinks before the show. But Peter Hayes, from Gloucester, said the reality was "really disappointing"."We've paid £266 for the Golden Circle and were promised lots of different things," he said."We've come through pretty much the same entrance as everyone else, and the Golden Circle is currently inaccessible. "There's so many people crammed in, there's no way I want to go into that."I've actually found myself in the ordinary ticket area, just happy to be in a bit of space."Mr Hayes said he had to queue for more than 90 minutes to be served at the bars, one of which had run out of everything except soft drinks by 19:45 BST. Daisy, from Leicester, told the BBC on Friday: "It's absolutely packed, there's no staff anywhere and there's no directions for anything. "It was chaos, so I did not get searched or anything, which didn't really reassure me."Rina Pengilly said she had bought the premium tickets four months prior as a surprise for her father. "It was meant to be a very special occasion and we can't even get in," she said. "My dad needs special assistance so I wanted to be in the Golden Circle for his own safety, so that's why it's disappointing." A spokesperson for Senbla denied claims that the tickets for the Golden Circle section were oversold. "Last night Robbie Williams wowed the audience with a spectacular show, the first night of two he is performing in Bath," they said."There was a very small issue with Golden Circle ticket holders yesterday evening, where later into the concert there were pinch points causing delays to the entry of the Golden Circle section. This section was not oversold."We have ensured that this has been rectified for this evening's concert by putting into place stronger communications lines between our security teams and event staff."

20th-year orchestral celebration of Avatar: The Last Airbender in York
A live orchestra concert celebrating the 20th anniversary of Avatar: The Last Airbender is coming to York. Nickelodeon, GEA Live, and Senbla have announced that the Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert – 20th Anniversary Tour will be touring the UK next year. The York Barbican will host the show on October 8, 2026. The two-hour performance will feature a live orchestra playing the show's musical score in sync with visual highlights - and favourite moments from all three seasons of the series - projected onto a screen. The original dialogue and sound effects will be preserved, with the recorded score replaced by the live orchestra, interpreting the music of Emmy Award-winning composer, Jeremy Zuckerman. To celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary, new original digital content across the Paramount ecosystem, "one-of-a-kind experiences," and new consumer products and games have been announced. The series, which debuted on February 21, 2005, has become a global phenomenon, spawning a spinoff series, several book series, and an upcoming theatrical film. Pam Kaufman, president and CEO of international markets, global consumer products, and experiences at Paramount, said: "Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert marks the 20th anniversary of this franchise in a way that joyfully celebrates the connection fans have with the original series. "We are thrilled to be able to bring this experience to new cities worldwide, with some fun surprises in store for concert attendees." Floris Douwes, producer and managing director at GEA Live, and Ollie Rosenblatt, CEO of Senbla, said: "We're proud to be part of the global celebration of Avatar: The Last Airbender's 20th anniversary. "Since the concert launched in 2024, the tour has played over 200 shows and sold 400,000 tickets worldwide, which is a rare milestone that reflects just how deeply this series continues to resonate with fans of all ages." Composer Jeremy Zuckerman said: "When I started work on Avatar: The Last Airbender, it was a dream to have the music performed by an orchestra. "Now, over 20 years later, with the concert tour, that dream has come true in a way I never could have imagined. "It's profound for me to see the Avatar community of fans — so wonderfully diverse — come together to celebrate the show through its music. "The atmosphere of joy at the concerts is unlike anything I've ever experienced. "I'm elated that more people will continue to share in it." For more information, please visit
