Take That has announced that The Circus Live tour will return to the road next summer, bringing two hometown shows to Manchester at Etihad Stadium on 19 and 20 September. The run includes nine other stadium dates across the UK and Ireland, starting in Southampton on 29 May and ending in Dublin in July. The tour comes as the group readies its 10th studio album, due late in 2026.
Take That first staged The Circus Live tour in 2009, drawing large crowds and selling about 600,000 tickets in under five hours. The group, formed by Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald, has said that the Circus tour was among its favourite experiences and that the band has long discussed revisiting it.
Beyond Manchester, the Circus Live run includes nine other stadium dates across the UK and Ireland, kicking off in Southampton on May 29 and wrapping up in Dublin in July.
