Remember Take That? The famous 90s British boyband is back for good. The band, which now consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen, has announced a tour in Australia on November this year.

"We’re thrilled to be coming back to Australia and New Zealand, and can’t wait to perform all the songs our audience know and love,” Take That said in an official statement. It has been more than 20 years since the band last performed in Australia, a country they call one of their “favourite places in the world.” Barlow told The Daily Telegraph that they are excited to come back to Australia to interact with fans and enthral them with their greatest hits.

“Our last tour of Australia was 22 years ago in 1995 and so many of our fans have been asking us to come back and perform; especially over the past few years!” Barlow said, adding, “We can’t wait to visit and relive some of our favourite memories while we are there; it seems like just yesterday we were performing an intimate show for just 500 people at Wonderland, Sydney and visiting Bondi Beach.”

The boyband, which was formed in 1990 in Manchester, released some of the greatest hits of all time like “Back for Good," "Relight My Fire" and "Could It Be Magic." When the band was formed, it had five members: Barlow, Donald, Owen, Jason Orange and Robbie Williams. Orange and Williams had both quit the band and will not join the group for the Australia tour.

Owen and Williams initially provided backing vocals while Donald and Orange were dancers. Williams was asked to quit because of substance abuse but later on went to have a successful solo career. The band, meanwhile, released their latest album “Wonderland” on March 24 featuring the single “Giants.”

Perth will be the first stop in the eight-date tour on November 11. The Take That itinerary and ticket details are listed below. Tickets will go on sale on Thursday, April 13, at 9 a.m., local time. For ticketing information, head over to ticketek.com.au.
