TICKETS go on sale for next year's Take That concert tomorrow and fans have been camping out to make sure they are first in line.

The reformed five piece are starting their schedule at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland next summer.

One fan, Tanya Kayne, 28, who made headlines when she became the first in the queue for tickets to see the band last year, was back again to see her idols.

She said: "We're very pleased that Robbie is back. It's going to be great seeing the lads all together."

But Vicky Brearley, a 19-year-old sales advisor from Southwick, isn't sure about Robbie's return.

"I hope I will get to go. I prefer their recent songs and Robbie by himself, but we will have to see."

The band's singer songwriter Gary Barlow has announced that the band chose Sunderland to launch its new European tour after the warm welcome it received last time.

He said: "We had such a great start to our tour last time in Sunderland because everyone was just so lovely to us.

"We stayed in a fantastic hotel on the beach, met some lovely people, had some great weather and the stadium really was a great venue."

"Niall Quinn was amazing. He got us all SAFC football shirts with our names on the back for our kids, which was really nice.

"It was all of these things that made us determined to start our tour there this time."

The Progress Live 2011 show comes to the region on May 30.

Meanwhile, Sunderland Football Club has announced American superstars Kings of Leon will also be performing next summer as part of a series of huge headline outdoor shows for 2011.

The show takes place on Friday June 17 and tickets will go on sale from 9am, Wednesday November 3.

Sunderland AFC chief executive Steve Walton said: "We are delighted to have secured another huge act to perform at the stadium. Following on from the Take That announcement, welcoming Kings of Leon is fantastic and they'll bring a different audience to our city and the North-East region as a whole."
