Take That star Gary Barlow is coming to play “intimate” solo shows in Dundee and Perth next year.

Organisers have confirmed the former X Factor star will play at Perth Concert Hall on April 19 and Dundee on April 20.

The dates are part of a series of 34 concerts across the UK and Ireland.

Barlow said: “I had such a lot of fun back in 2013 when I played those smaller venues because you’re so much closer to the fans.

“The audience always seem to love the intimacy of it all too. I’m also really looking forward to playing in a couple of cities I’ve never played before as well as getting a chance to meet the fans there.”

The Dundee visit will come almost two years after Gary last visited the city — surprising local woman Jill Campbell by appearing at her 30th birthday party at the Apex Hotel.
