The tour will include a record eight concerts at Wembley Stadium Take That and Robbie Williams are set to embark on a record-breaking tour of the UK and Ireland.
Some 1.67 million tickets have been sold for 29 stadium dates, beginning in Sunderland later.
Fans overwhelmed ticket agencies in October when it was announced that Williams would tour with his bandmates for the first time in 16 years.
He is expected to play a selection of solo hits, as well as joining in with the pop group’s back catalogue.
Take That will initially perform five tracks, without Williams, who will then perform five solo tracks – with no backing – before the two come together for a selection of hits.
The reformed five-piece will play four dates at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light before eight shows at the City of Manchester Stadium.
They then move on to Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow and Birmingham before a record eight nights at Wembley Stadium.
The group have been rehearsing on an air base in Bedfordshire Michael Jackson, who played seven consecutive shows there in 1988, held the previous record.
The Progress Live tour has seen Take That break their own record for total ticket sales.
Their last tour, which took place in 2009 without Williams, sold 1.08 million tickets.
The set has been built on an air base in Bedfordshire, where rehearsals have been taking place amid tight security.
Singer Mark Owen has admitted to feeling some pressure.
“A few weeks ago I had a pre-tour panic, which I went through for a couple of days,” he recently told Music Week magazine.
“Not much sleep, but I came through the other end. We’re confident with it now and I think the show will be brilliant.”
