Seventeen years after their record-breaking run, Take That are bringing back The Circus Live for an epic summer 2026 stadium tour.
Originally staged in 2009, The Circus was one of the most spectacular pop tours in UK history, selling over 600,000 tickets in under five hours and entertaining more than a million fans across the UK and Ireland.
Now, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald are reviving the magic — and promising new surprises. The 2026 tour will revisit the original circus-themed spectacle, featuring a mix of classic hits and fresh additions to keep even the most dedicated fans on their toes.
The original production was impossible to ignore, with stilt-walkers, acrobats, fire-breathers, tap dancers, and a 30-foot mechanical elephant carrying the band through the crowd. Fans can expect a similarly unforgettable experience this time around.
Joining Take That on stage are The Script, who also supported the 2009 tour, and pop legend Belinda Carlisle. While there's no confirmation yet, many fans are hopeful for a surprise appearance from former band member Robbie Williams.
