It's Take That week on ExpressandStar.com as we count down to Britain's biggest boy band's two-nighter at Villa Park - and we want YOU to join in the fun.

Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Mark Owen, Robbie Williams and their legions of adoring fans will be turning Birmingham into Take That central as they descend upon the second city.

We've put together a special package of Take That fun, facts, videos and pics as we count down to the concerts next Monday and Tuesday.

The Villa Park concerts are part of the mammoth Progress Live tour which will see the band finish with a record-breaking eight nights at Wembley Stadium.

And judging by what we've seen so far, Birmingham is in for one amazing show, featuring giant robots, the return of Robbie Williams, giant robots, a non-stop salvo of solid gold hits and did we mention giant robots?

Of course if you don't want to know what you're in for you'd better look elsewhere for the next few days! Otherwise come on in and check out some amazing fan photos from the tour so far, meet the biggest Take That fans in the region and take part in our Take That fun quiz.

On Monday our official reviewer and E&S photographers will be out and and about to capture the excitement and we'll be keeping bang up to date as the evening progresses with feeds from our Twitter stream and Facebook page.

We're going to be looking out for your input too. Did Robbie just shake your hand? Did Jason smile just for you? The best tweets and comments will be shared and aired by our social media journalist Todd Nash so tag your tweet with #TakeThatVP to join in.

On Tuesday watch our for extensive coverage both in the paper and online. We'll have reports, photos and videos to share with you and we'll be waiting to hear about your reactions to what looks like one of the most amazing tours ever staged.

We'll want to see the best of your concert and fan photos from the Birmingham gigs too.

We hope you have fun in the build up to the concerts next week. If you've already seen the tour elsewhere let us know what you thought in the comments box below.

We're still looking for Take That superfans to feature. Are you nutty about the fab five? What lengths have you gone to to see them in concert? We want to hear from you – call 01902 319598 or email l.wright@expressandstar.co.uk
