Take That @ Roma Summer Fest 2027

Take That will perform in Rome on Monday, July 19, 2027, as part of Roma Summer Fest 2027. The concert will take place in the Cavea of the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone, with the performance officially scheduled to begin at 9:00 PM.

The Take That concert in Rome is one of three Italian dates announced for the band’s The Dreamers Tour, their major European summer tour for 2027. The itinerary includes 24 concerts in 24 cities across 14 countries, beginning in Switzerland on June 3 and continuing through July.

The Rome performance is connected with Dreamers, the band’s forthcoming tenth studio album, scheduled for release in late 2026. The 2027 concerts are expected to combine new material from the album with established songs from a catalogue developed over more than three decades.

Take That

Take That were formed in Manchester in 1990. Their original line-up consisted of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Robbie Williams. The group rapidly became one of the leading British pop acts of the early 1990s, achieving extensive chart success in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Gary Barlow emerged as the group’s principal songwriter, while their early catalogue produced major singles including Pray, Relight My Fire, Babe, Everything Changes, Sure, Never Forget and Back for Good. By the middle of the decade, the band had become an international pop phenomenon with success across Europe and beyond.

Robbie Williams left Take That in 1995. Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Jason Orange continued briefly as a four-piece before the group announced its separation in February 1996. Their original period therefore lasted only a few years but produced three studio albums and numerous UK number-one singles.

The remaining four members reunited in 2005, initially around a television documentary and retrospective project. A successful reunion tour followed in 2006, after which the group recorded new material. Their comeback developed into a sustained second phase rather than a short-lived reunion, beginning with the album Beautiful World.

Robbie Williams returned for the 2010 Progress era, restoring the five-member line-up for an album and major tour. Jason Orange subsequently left in 2014, after which Barlow, Donald and Owen continued permanently as a trio and released further albums, tours and new material under the Take That name.

Rome has already hosted the current trio during a recent edition of the same festival. Take That performed in the Cavea on July 8, 2024, during Roma Summer Fest, presenting material from This Life alongside songs from earlier stages of their career.
 

Take That Discography

Take That released their debut studio album, Take That & Party, in 1992. The record included songs such as A Million Love Songs, It Only Takes a Minute and Could It Be Magic. It reached number two on the UK Albums Chart and established the group as a significant British pop act.

Their commercial breakthrough expanded with Everything Changes in 1993. The album generated four UK number-one singles: Pray, Relight My Fire, Babe and Everything Changes. It also strengthened their position outside Britain and became the first Take That studio album to reach number one in the United Kingdom.

The third studio album, Nobody Else, arrived in 1995 and contained Sure, Back for Good and Never Forget. Back for Good became their most internationally successful single, topping charts in numerous countries and reaching number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.

Their recording career resumed with Beautiful World in 2006, featuring Patience, Shine and Rule the World. The comeback continued with The Circus in 2008, which included Greatest Day. Both releases topped the UK Albums Chart and established the reunited group as a major commercial act again.

Robbie Williams rejoined the group for Progress, released in 2010, whose singles included The Flood. After Jason Orange’s departure, Barlow, Donald and Owen recorded III as a trio in 2014. Its lead single, These Days, became Take That’s 12th UK number-one single.

The trio followed III with Wonderland in 2017. The retrospective project Odyssey appeared in 2018, while the ninth studio album, This Life, was released in November 2023. It debuted at number one in Britain with 116,000 chart units during its first week.

Dreamers is the band’s tenth studio album and is scheduled for release in late 2026. It provides the title for The Dreamers Tour, which will bring Take That to Rome in July 2027 and will feature songs from the new record together with established material from their catalogue.

Take That Awards and Sales

Take That have sold more than 45 million records worldwide. In the United Kingdom alone, industry certifications account for approximately 14.4 million albums and 14.6 million singles, reflecting commercial success across both the original 1990s period and the group’s post-reunion career.

Their UK chart record includes 12 number-one singles, 20 Top 10 singles and nine number-one albums. Their singles have collectively spent 29 weeks at number one and more than 100 weeks inside the British Top 10, while several different configurations of the group have achieved chart-topping releases.

The band have received eight BRIT Awards, including honours for British Group, British Single and British Live Act. In 2012, Take That also received the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music, recognising their songwriting, recording career and long-term impact on British popular music.

Live performances have been another major part of their commercial success. The 2011 Progress Live tour established a UK ticket-sales record, surpassing the previous benchmark created by their own The Circus Live tour in 2009 and demonstrating the scale of demand generated after their reunion.

Venue – Cavea, Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone

The concert will take place in the Cavea, the large open-air space at the centre of the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone. Located at Viale Pietro de Coubertin 30, the Auditorium stands between the Flaminio, Olympic Village and Parioli areas, north of central Rome.

The Cavea is named after composer Luciano Berio and was designed as both a public piazza and an outdoor amphitheatre. Its semicircular configuration includes a lower paved area providing access to the foyers and an upper section formed by tiered seating overlooking the performance space.

The theatre square is paved in travertine and can accommodate 3,737 spectators in a seated configuration or 5,128 when the parterre is arranged for standing audiences. The Cavea follows the site’s natural difference in level of approximately ten metres and can be adapted for different types of events.

The wider Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone was designed by architect Renzo Piano. Rome launched an international architectural competition in 1993, and Renzo Piano Building Workshop was declared the winner in July 1994. The municipal project formally began in January 1995.

Construction was temporarily interrupted after the discovery of the remains of an ancient Roman villa in November 1995. The project was subsequently modified so that the archaeological remains could be incorporated into the complex rather than removed, adding another historical layer to the contemporary cultural site.

Today, the Auditorium hosts classical music, jazz, rock, pop, theatre, cinema, exhibitions and other cultural programmes. During summer, the Cavea becomes a major open-air concert venue, while the same space is also used for events such as the red carpet of the Rome Film Festival.

How to Get to Cavea, Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone

On foot: One of the most convenient rail stops for pedestrians is Euclide, on the urban railway from Piazzale Flaminio. The station is roughly 650 metres from the Auditorium, with the walk generally taking around ten minutes through the Parioli area toward Viale Pietro de Coubertin.

By bus: The Auditorium is served by several urban bus routes, including 53, 168, 910 and 982. Line 910 provides a useful connection between the Termini area and Piazza Mancini, while the other routes connect the venue area with different parts of northern and central Rome.

By taxi: Official Rome taxis can take passengers directly to Viale Pietro de Coubertin 30, the address of the Auditorium. For visitors travelling from central Rome or Roma Termini, a taxi avoids transfers between public-transport services, although travel times can vary considerably according to evening traffic and event-related congestion.

Roma Summer Fest 2027

Roma Summer Fest under its present name was launched in 2018 by Fondazione Musica per Roma. The first edition opened on May 26 with Arctic Monkeys, who performed two consecutive concerts in the Cavea on May 26 and 27 at the beginning of the new summer festival programme.

The festival developed around the Auditorium’s outdoor spaces, particularly the Cavea, and established an extended summer calendar rather than a short consecutive festival weekend. Its programmes have incorporated rock, pop, jazz, electronic music, singer-songwriters and other contemporary genres, with both Italian and international performers appearing across individual concert dates.

The combination of an outdoor amphitheatre and Renzo Piano’s architectural complex has become central to the event’s identity. Roma Summer Fest uses an established performing-arts venue rather than a temporary festival site, allowing its concerts to form part of the Auditorium’s wider year-round cultural programme.

Roma Summer Fest 2027 is officially scheduled from June 8 to September 12, 2027. The extended calendar allows individual artists and international tours to appear in Rome on separate dates throughout the summer instead of requiring the entire programme to take place within a single continuous period.

The 2027 season has additional significance because the Auditorium will celebrate its 25th anniversary. Among the first international artists announced for the festival, in addition to the concert covered here, are Hayley Williams, Tokio Hotel and Beth Hart, with further events expected to expand the programme.
