Due to extraordinary pre-sale demand, Take That have added an extra night in Southampton and Manchester to their Circus Live Tour next summer. Originally staged in 2009, ‘The Circus Live’ broke UK records as the fastest-selling tour in history, with over 600,000 tickets sold in under five 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 groundbreaking live productions in UK pop history – bigger and bolder than ever!
Fans will be delighted as the band is now set to play two nights at Southampton St Mary’s Stadium on 29th and 30th May and three nights at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium on 19th, 20th & 21st June.
The band said: “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 support acts
The Script, who supported Take That on the original Circus Live Tour in 2009, will return as very special guests on all UK shows in 2026, alongside pop royalty, Belinda Carlisle, who will also perform at all UK shows.
Support for the Dublin Aviva Stadium show is yet to be confirmed.
