The Project: Sept 4 – 9

Appearing next week on The Project are Robbie Williams, Sam Fischer, Bill Bailey and live at the desk is Succession star, Brian Cox.

Aussie born singer songwriter, Sam Fischer returns home for the first time in three years. Currently enjoying the rollercoaster ride of the pop world, Sam’s 2020 breakout hit, This City, has been a hit across the globe. Since then, he has collaborated with Demi Lovato, Sam Feldt and has written for global superstars including Ciara, Keith Urban, Louis Tomlinson and Jessie J.

Sam has accrued more than one billion global streams to date and his latest single, All My Loving is set to become another smash hit. On Sunday, the super charming and charismatic singer drops by our Sydney studio ahead of his tour with Mimi Webb, which starts in Sydney on Friday, 9 September.

Succession star Brian Cox joins us on the desk on Wednesday in his first Australian TV interview. Brian is in the country as a guest of The Melbourne Writers Festival and the Sydney Opera House’s Antidote Festival. His searingly candid memoir, Putting The Rabbit In The Hat, traces his journey from a tough working-class childhood in Dundee to becoming one of Britain’s foremost Shakespearean actors who has starred in films such as Adaptation and The Bourne Identity. We chat to Brian about his remarkable career which spans an incredible five decades.

Funny man Bill Bailey returns to Australia with his brand-new show, En Route To Normal which kicks off in Toowoomba on 22 September. With 16 stops on the tour, En Route To Normal promises a fun night out, with a heart-warming mix of stories, music and history, as Bill embarks on a personal mission to find our way through these strange times. Bill joins us at the desk for a laugh on Thursday.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since Robbie Williams quit British boy band Take That to embark on a solo career, and what a stellar career it’s been. Robbie has six of the Top 100 best-selling albums in British history, has sold a huge 80 million albums worldwide, achieved 14 number one singles and a record 18 BRIT Awards – more than any other artist in music history.

To celebrate this significant milestone, Robbie is set to release his new album, XXV, a collection of Robbie’s favourite songs from the past 25 years re-recorded with the acclaimed Metropole Orkest in The Netherlands. Waleed catches up with the cheeky chappie from Stoke On Trent on Thursday ahead of the release of XXV on Friday.

6:30pm Sunday – Friday on 10.
