Take That have announced a summer 2026 UK and Ireland tour, reviving The Circus Live with a run of shows across Britain and Ireland. The band will perform the original 2009 Circus set list, with a few surprises along the way.

The group posted on Instagram that the tour would celebrate people, music and the wonder of human creativity. They described The Circus tour as one of their favourite experiences and said they are excited to welcome both long‑time and new fans to the spectacle next summer. The Script, who supported Take That on the 2009 Circus Live, will return as a special guest for all UK shows, alongside Belinda Carlisle, who will also perform at every UK date.

The tour opens on 29 May 2026 at St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton, followed by dates in Coventry, Sunderland, Glasgow, Cardiff and Manchester. Two nights at London Stadium are planned for 26 and 27 June, before a final show in Dublin at Aviva Stadium on 4 July 2026. The announcement comes ahead of the band’s 10th studio album, due late in 2026. Tickets go on sale on Friday 26 September at 9:30am, with early access available to fans who pre‑order the new album.
