Take That Tour 2026: London Stadium Shows Announced – Ticket Details Inside
The wait is over. Take That are back, and they’re bringing their most spectacular live show to London.
Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald confirmed today that their record-breaking Circus Live tour will make a grand return in summer 2026, with two blockbuster dates at the London Stadium on Friday 26 June and Saturday 27 June.
It’s a befitting venue. The band last lit up the same colosseum during the indelible London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony. Now, 14 times later, they’re set to reclaim the stage in style.
Ticket details
Fans will need to act fast. Tickets go on sale at 9.30am on Friday, 26 September via Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours, and the band’s official site.
Pre-sale access is also available to those who pre-order Take That’s forthcoming tenth studio album, expected late next year.
When the original Circus Live opened back in 2009, it became the fastest-selling UK tour in history, shifting 600,000 tickets in less than five hours.
By the end, over one million fans had packed out stadiums across Britain and Ireland.
Seventeen years on, history may well repeat itself. The first Circus Live was a phenomenon. Critics hailed it as a corner in live entertainment.
The product included fire- recesses, support- trampers, zanies, acrobats, and indeed a towering 30- bottom mechanical giant that carried the band through the crowd.
The band are promising that 2026 will be every bit as spectacular, and also some.
Exciting news! @takethat are bringing The Circus Live Tour to UK stadiums in summer 2026!

“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!”
The group will revisit their 2009 set list, but fans can also look forward to “a few new surprises”.
Hits such as Rule the World, Patience, Back for Good, Never Forget, and Greatest Day are guaranteed to be highlights, while the iconic medleys and theatrical twists that made the original shows legendary will return.
Joining Take That on the road will be Irish chart-toppers The Script, who also supported the band on the original 2009 run, and 80s pop legend Belinda Carlisle.
Both acts are seasoned live performers, and fans of musical theatre will recognise the growing trend of stage stars and touring productions making a huge impact on UK entertainment, such as Carrie Hope Fletcher’s Waitress UK tour in 2026.
The Script is fresh from celebrating six UK number-one albums and more than 10 billion global streams, while Carlisle remains one of pop’s most enduring stars, famed for her powerhouse vocals and timeless hits.

For those dreaming of reliving the spectacle, one thing is certain: when tickets go live next Friday, blink and you’ll miss them.
