Take That Bring Back The Circus Live for 2026 Stadium Tour

September
20

Take That will bring back The Circus Live for a series of stadium concerts across the UK and Ireland in summer 2026.

First staged in 2009, the original Circus Live broke UK records as the fastest-selling tour in history, moving more than 600,000 tickets in under five hours. Over one million fans attended the sold-out shows, which featured large-scale production elements including fire-breathers, stilt-walkers, clowns, acrobats, tap dancers and a 30-foot mechanical elephant carrying the band through the crowd.

For 2026, Take That will perform the original setlist alongside new elements.

The tour begins at St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton on May 29 and includes stops in Coventry, Sunderland, Glasgow, Cardiff, Manchester and two nights at London Stadium, before concluding at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on July 4. Additional dates may be added, as the 2009 tour included multiple nights in Manchester and London.

Promoters for the 2026 edition are SJM, Kennedy Street Enterprises and MCD.

Special guests on all UK dates will be The Script, who supported Take That on the 2009 tour, along with Belinda Carlisle.
