Current teen heart-throb Robbie Williams is once again having one of his concerts broadcast on the internet. The last Williams internet broadcast, or net-cast, was from a New York night club during his American tour.

This time around, the net-cast is Williams' mega-gig at Ireland's Slane Castle in County Meath. Slane Castle is the location U2 recorded their breakthrough 1984 album 'Unforgettable Fire'.

This is Williams' biggest concert yet. The show is expected to draw over 80,000 people. Tickets for the event sold out in under two hours.

The show, taking place on August 28 is being beamed to computers around the world, thanks to British satellite provider Sky and their new entertainment website SkyRocket.

For fans living within Sky's broadcast reach, the sold out concert will also be broadcast on Sky One and Box Office for free.
