Roll up, roll up! Take That are taking us back to The Circus!
The boyband, made up of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen, first went on The Circus Live tour back in 2019. The tour became the fastest selling in UK history, with the 600,000 for all original eight dates selling out in five hours. Over one million fans attended the sold out tour, and it became one of Take That’s most notable tours thanks to its showstopping features including a giant mechanical elephant, ringmaster, and circus performers.
Now, the band is bringing back The Circus for a string of UK and Ireland dates, taking place in stadiums throughout summer 2026. The tour is set to celebrate people, music, and the wonder of human creativity. With support from The Script and Belinda Carlisle (except Dublin), the same iconic set awaits, along with some new surprises…

In their exciting announcement, 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!”
Tickets go on general sale at 9:30AM, Friday 26 September. You can get exclusive pre-sale access by pre-ordering Take That’s 10th studio album (arriving later next year) from their official UK store before 5:00PM, Tuesday 23 September.
This announcement comes after the band teased fans on social media with clips of them blowing up balloons, tightening up a unicycle, and applying white paint. Several of their venues also lit up with the band’s logo last night.
The Circus is the band’s fifth studio album, first released on 1 December 2008. The album includes the hit singles ‘Greatest Day’, ‘Up All Night, ‘The Garden’, ‘Said It All’ and ‘Hold Up a Light’.
