A fourth confessed: "Neeeed to be there."
Robbie shot to fame as part of boy band Take That in the 90s.
He quit the group, which now consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen, in 1996 to pursue a solo career.
The star has released 12 solo albums over the years and some of his best songs include Angels, Let Me Entertain You and Rock DJ.
Robbie isn't the only big name to perform on the weekend.
Perrie Edwards will also be returning to her home town to sing to fans.
The 31-year-old shot to fame as part of Little Mix on the eighth series of The X Factor in 2011.
The band, which was originally made up of Perrie, Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock went on a indefinite hiatus in 2022.
Perrie kick started her solo career this year with her first single Forget About Us.
Indie rock band Kaiser Chiefs are also part of the line-up.
The band formed in 1996 and currently consists of Ricky Wilson, Andrew White, Simon Rix, Nick Baines and Vijay Mistry.
The group have released nine albums over the years and toured a number of times.
Some of their songs include Every Day I Love You Less And Less, Ruby, Oh My God, I Predict A Riot and Never Miss A Beat.
