Take That Adds To Wonderland Dates

The announcements came via the group’s Twitter. Glasgow, Dublin, Manchester, London, and Birmingham are all getting extra gigs. One highlight has been the fourth, fifth and sixth shows added in Birmingham.

Regarding the general onsale today, Take That made an announcement urging “anybody buying tickets to do so only from official sources: direct from venues or the official ticketing sites.” The band is likely doing that to try to fight the scams and outrageous price hikes increasingly associated with the secondary ticketing market.

The new album, Wonderland, is coming out March 17. The group is also performing at the BBC’s Children in Need Rocks concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall Nov. 1.

The lineup currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen, as original members Jason Orange and Royal Albert Hall are no longer performing with the group. The Telegraph reported that Progress, the group’s 2010 album with its full original lineup, was the fastest-selling album of the 21st century.
