Take That have officially announced that their Circus Live tour will return to UK and Ireland stadiums in summer 2026, 17 years after the original run. The band—comprising Howard Donald, Gary Barlow, and Mark Owen—confirmed the news on Friday morning following a week of teaser videos and a countdown on social media.
The 2026 tour will kick off at St Mary's Stadium in Southampton on May 29, followed by dates in Coventry, Sunderland, Glasgow, and Cardiff. A homecoming show at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium is scheduled for June 19 and 20, before the band heads to London Stadium for two nights and concludes in Dublin on July 4.
The original Circus Live tour in 2009 was a massive success, becoming the fastest-selling tour in UK history at the time. It featured elaborate theatrics, circus performers, and a life-sized animatronic elephant that carried the band on stage. The new dates are expected to generate similar excitement among fans.
Tickets go on general sale at 9:30am on Friday, September 26, 2025. A presale for fans who pre-order the band's upcoming tenth studio album will take place at 9:30am on Thursday, September 25.
