Take That announce Etihad Stadium dates! | OneFootball

Take That have today announced they will be hitting the road next summer with the return of one of their biggest and most iconic live shows: The Circus Live.

Originally staged in 2009, The Circus Live broke UK records as the fastest-selling tour in history, with more than 600,000 tickets sold in less than 5 hours, and over one million fans attending the sell-out shows across the UK and Ireland.

Now, more than 17 years later, Take That are ready to bring the magic back for a whole new generation of fans, and for those who were there the first time, with the chance to revisit one of the most ground-breaking live productions in UK pop history, which promises to be 'bigger and bolder than ever'.

Collectively, Take That commented: "The Circus tour was one of our favourite experiences as a band and, in the years since, we've talked many times about how much we'd love to do it again one day.

"Well, that time has come! We're so excited to welcome audiences old and new across the UK and Ireland to the spectacle of The Circus Live next summer. See you out there!"

Take That - The Circus Live - Summer 2026, will kick off at St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton on 29 May, with the band then playing a string of huge stadium dates around the UK & Ireland in Coventry, Sunderland, Glasgow, Cardiff, Manchester City's Etihad Stadium (19/20 June), as well as two epic nights at the London Stadium - where the band famously performed at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics - on 26 and 27 June, before heading to Dublin’s Aviva Stadium for the final show on July. 4

Fans can get first access to tour tickets by pre-ordering the band’s forthcoming tenth studio album, to be released late 2026, from the Take That official store.

Renowned for their innovative and revolutionary live shows, Take That’s Circus Live broke the mould for live productions when it opened on 5 June 2009.

Hailed as a ‘trailblazing pop show’ by critics across the board, it raised the bar for live entertainment with its sheer ambition and creativity.

Fans were wowed from beginning to end with a visual feast that included fire-breathers, stilt-walkers, clowns, acrobats, tap dancers, and a huge 30-foot-tall mechanical elephant, which carried the band through the audience.
