They will do in face of 1.75 million ecstatic, screaming fans across the UK and Europe in the following two months.
And Select That have lived up to the tremendous expectations of their fans by kicking off the 1st night of their turn in dramatic fashion, for the start time together in 15 years.
The ring took to the stage tonight in Sunderland in face of a 60ft mechanical robot man, nicknamed Om by the band.
The most eager of the 54,000 fans at the Sunderland Stadium of Light have been camping out ahead of tonight`s performance.
Security guards had to have the screaming devotees back as they scrambled for the better point in presence of the stage.
And they were not disappointed - as these pictures show, the stunning show features a jaw-dropping backdrop, pyrotechnics and acrobatics.
Performers climbed a lofty wall of water above the present as the band belt out all of their hits.
The band originally appeared as a quartet, but Gary Barlow quickly told their screaming fans: â#8364;#732;Weâ#8364;#8482;ve got someone else joining us later.#226;#8364;#8482;
Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason kick off the evidence with their post-Robbie hits Rule The World, Greatest Day, Hold Up A Light,Patience and Shine.
But the crowd roared its approval when Williams was lowered on the present to get a serial of his solo smash hits.
An emotional Robbie thrilled the interview with Let Me Entertain You, Rock DJ, Come Undone, Feel and Angels.
Robbie shouted out on stage: `20 days in the making, 15 days in the waiting, five years deliberating. Ladies and gentlemen, the That That show.
`I`m real proud to be a portion of it all again.`
Then it was time for the reunited five-piece to get together for their first single following Williams re-joining the band, The Flood.
The biggest cheers were reserved for the second that the master Claim That returned to the point together for the 1st sentence in concert in 15 years.
Their amazing performance received a 5 star review from The Guardian`s Dave Simpson.
He wrote: `Not even explosions of ticker tape, elevating platforms, glowing stages, ghost-like dancers wielding flaming torches, dancing tress, roller-skating bees, and still a giant caterpillar could meet the collective gasp when Williams finally appeared, alone, carried aloft on a glass chariot.
`The band upstaged their jawdropping visuals with the view of five men playing the definitive pop anthems that made them - and dance and grinning like they`d never been away.`
All of the favourites including crowd-pleasing medleys of Million Love Songs and Babe, and Everything Changes and Support For Good were sung.
Pray, Never Forget and their latest single Love Love followed. The thrilling event complete with Relight My Sack and Eight letters.
Fans took to Twitter to declare their excitement over their spectacular show, with one tweeter tinkerbell_uk21 posting: â#8364;#732;Anyone going to see Require That are in for a treat! Amazing.#226;#8364;#8482;
The 1st night of the tour follows 12 weeks of gruelling rehearsals at an aircraft hanger in Bedfordshire.
The Progress Live Tour 2011 is thought to be costing upwards of Â#163;15 billion to leg and has 287 crew travelling across Europe.
Following a four-night stay in Sunderland, the ring will play eight nights in Manchester before moving on to Cardiff, Dublin and Glasgow.
TAKE THAT`S SET LIST
Rule The Word; Greatest Day; Hold Up A Light; Patience; Shine; Let Me Hold You; Rock DJ; Come Undone; Feel; Angels; The Flood; SOS; Underground Machine; Kidz; Pretty Things; Million Love Songs/Babe; Everything Changes/Back For Good; Pray; Love Love; Never Forget; No Regrets; Relight My Fire; Eight Letters
The boys will then act in Birmingham before completing their nation-wide tour with eight nights at Wembley stadium in London.
It`s not over then though, Take That have added dates across the continent, including Milan, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Hamburg and DÃ#188;sseldorf. The circuit will end in Munich on July 29.
The two-month tour will suit Robbie Williams, who has complained in the past that he is not cut out for the lengthy tours other artists undertake.
`I simply went on tour for too long before,` he said said previously. `I`m not the form of someone who can do nine months.
`I can do two months solid, not a problem. But nine months - I`m not built for it. I go loopy.`
For those fans who hold to look for the circle to do to town, they have satisfied appetites by releasing a brand new picture for the latest single Love Love.
The cross features in the upcoming blockbuster X Men: First class, released in the UK next week.
The video opens with a thumping bass line and the boys standing in the center of a vast futuristic space.
The boys are encircled by dancers clad in black bodysuits with cobweb-style string masks.
The picture was filmed beneath a vast canopy in West London.
Love Love was shot by Alex Large and Liane Sommers, the team behind Cheryl Cole`s Parachutes, Kylie Minogueâ#8364;#8482;s Get Outta My Way and Scissor Sisters Laura videos.
The one is the quarter from the Progress album, following The Flood, Kidz and Happy Now, which was released in March.
