Take That arrive in Sunderland on Tuesday with The Circus Live tour, and a big crowd is expected at the Stadium of Light. After what feels like an eternity of counting down, and 17 years since the band last brought The Circus to town, fans are eagerly anticipating the 2026 Live tour. Alongside the excitement of seeing Gary, Mark, and Howard perform, many concertgoers will have their eyes on the official merchandise.
Epic Show Returns
Those who attended The Circus tour in 2009 will recall its spectacular nature, and early reviews suggest the 2026 version is even better, with all the highlights elevated to new heights. The band kicked off the tour in Southampton at the end of May to a massive reaction and also entertained packed audiences in Coventry over the weekend.
Setlist and Support Acts
The Take That Circus Live setlist is packed with classics, including early 90s anthems like Pray, Could It Be Magic, and It Only Takes a Minute, as well as Relight My Fire, which will see them joined on stage by the North East's own Zoe Birkett. Newer material such as Patience, Shine, and show opener Greatest Day are also included. Fans are advised to arrive early as special guests Belinda Carlisle and The Script will be performing as support acts.
