Take That return with a bang

Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Howard Donald took to the stage at Belfast's Odyssey Arena last night for a highly charged two-hour show.

It's their second tour since the group reformed in 2005 - ten years after parting ways. The group opened the show with Reach Out and went on to play a string of their greatest hits including Patience, Never Forget and Back For Good.

Dressed in voodoo costumes, they thrilled the crowd with a surprise remix of Relight My Fire, which sampled the wildly popular Gnarls Barkley hit Crazy. They also played Could It Be Magic and Everything Changes, with the two-hour set coming to an end with a crowd-pleasing rendition of Pray.

The Daily Mirror described the racy performance as an "extravagant spectacle" which had the 18,000 strong crowd "whooping in delight".

The review also praised the show's "incredible water graphics and awe-inspiring pyrotechnics".

The Sun called the two-hour set "breathtaking," concluding: "Plenty of the big hits were there — apart from A Million Love Songs and Babe — and they finished off with a medley of classics ensuring the crowd went home happy."

Earlier this month, the band were named as the faces of Marks & Spencer menswear and have also been tipped for an Oscar for their song Rule, the theme song to the movie Stardust.
