Take That have announced they will be hitting the road next summer with the return of one of their biggest and most iconic live shows: The Circus Live. 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 5 hours, and over one million fans attending the sell-out shows across the UK and Ireland. The Circus Live comes to Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, Saturday 4th July 2026, tickets go on sale Friday 26th September at 9.30am.
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!
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 – The Circus Live – Summer 2026, will kick off at St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton on 29th May, with the band then playing a string of huge stadium dates around the UK & Ireland in Coventry, Sunderland, Glasgow, Cardiff, Manchester, 2 epic nights at the London Stadium – where the band famously performed at the closing ceremony of the London Olympics – on 26th and 27th June, before heading to Dublin’s Aviva Stadium for the final show on the 4th July.
Renowned for their innovative and revolutionary live shows, Take That’s Circus Live broke the mould for live productions when it opened on 5th June 2009. Hailed as a ‘trailblazing pop show’ by critics across the board, it raised the bar for live entertainment with its sheer ambition and creativity. Fans were wowed from beginning to end with a visual feast that included fire-breathers, stilt-walkers, clowns, acrobats, tap dancers, and a huge 30-foot-tall mechanical elephant, which carried the band through the audience.
