Take That concert tour chronology

The Circus Live – Summer 2026 was the thirteenth concert tour by the English group Take That. It was based on, and serves as a reboot of, the group's seventh concert tour Take That Present: The Circus Live that took place in 2009. The tour also supported the band's tenth studio album, Dreamers (2026), which is due to be released by EMI Records in "late 2026".[2] Jason Orange, who took part in the original 2009 tour, was not present in the 2026 tour, as he departed in 2014.

The all-stadium concert tour commenced on 29 May 2026 at the St Mary's Stadium in Southampton, and concluded on 4 July 2026 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin selling more than 736,000 tickets across the 17 shows.[3][4][5] The tour was supported by Irish pop rock band The Script, and American singer Belinda Carlisle in the United Kingdom,[6] American pop rock band OneRepublic, and Australian singer Delta Goodrem in Ireland.[7][8]

Background

A live stream in partnership with Amazon Music was streamed live from the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on 20 June exclusively to Amazon Prime and Twitch. The stream broke Amazon Music records becoming their most watched UK live streamed performance.[9] On 17 July, the band released an exclusive EP available on Amazon Music featuring tracks from the stream.[10]
