Take That are returning to the big top as the band reveal plans to revive their ‘Circus Live’ tour in 2026.
Originally playing throughout the summer of 2009, at which time the group sold 600,000 tickets in less than five hours, the Greatest Day hitmakers are bringing the show back to life between May and July of next year.
We’re so excited to be bringing back The Circus Live in 2026! 🎪 Next summer, in stadiums across the UK & Ireland, we’ll celebrate people, music, and the wonder of human creativity. We can’t wait to take you back to that magical place – the same iconic set with new surprises… pic.twitter.com/TLVjbgcP0N

Launching at St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton, they’ll play nine other stadiums across the UK and Ireland.
The band, starring Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald, 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.
“We’re so excited to welcome audiences old and new across the UK and Ireland to the spectacle of The Circus Live next summer.”
Unlike the previous shows, this time around Take That will appear as a three-piece, with Jason Orange, who departed the group following the ‘The Circus’ album cycle, not taking part.
