The reunited boy band – Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald – thrilled fans in Belfast, Northern Ireland, as they performed their past and present hits complete with X-rated dance moves.
The group opened the concert dressed as politicians delivering the Take That Manifesto with the boys wearing smart suits and rosettes before launching into Reach Out, a song from their latest album Beautiful World.
One of the highlights was a performance of their 90s hit Relight My Fire, in which they appeared in black leather trousers and top hats.
Lulu recorded the original duet but last night the group were joined by Lloyd Blake, who belted out Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy in place of Lulu’s vocals.
While singing It Only Takes A Minute, the boys enjoyed a lapdance from their scantily dressed dancers. Gary’s wife Dawn was one of the dancers, but instead of gyrating over Gary she performed for Howard.
The group’s set included many of their hits, including Back For Good, Never Forget and Pray.
They ended the show with a medley of classics, delighting the mainly female audience.
Last year, Take That announced they were getting back together, ten years after splitting. They embarked on a hugely successful stadium tour last summer and tickets
for this year’s tour sold out within hours of going on sale.
However, former band member Robbie Williams – who quit the group in 1995 – refused to take part in the comeback.
