Gary Barlow has revealed that Take That will definitely unleash a new album next year.

The 90s boyband reunited with Robbie Williams in 2010 and released the hugely succesful 'Progress', before heading down their solo paths once again.

Speaking to the Mirror, however, Barlow said that the band will reconvene again in 2013 - although it is unclear if Williams will join them - for a new album, followed by a tour. He said:

"I have got a lot of Take That stuff next year and then, hopefully, a tour the year after. A new studio album feels right for us, it has always been in our minds."

"The band cycles are obvious. Everyone wanted a year off this year, and now everybody can't wait to get back into the studio in February and that is what we are going to do. So, hopefully, an album for Christmas and a tour the following year. Mark [Owen's] solo album is out next year. I was talking to him about it earlier today, and he's very excited about it. Then at the end of 2013, there'll be a Take That album. We're far from over. We're all creative, we're singers and songwriters. There's plenty left in us, don't worry."
