Finally, Take That’s The Circus Live 2026 Tour has landed in London. The legendary boyband have been working their way around the country’s biggest stadiums – recently hosting a hometown residency in Manchester – and now it’s London’s turn. Take That are at Stratford’s London Stadium for three dates in total.
Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen are bringing back their legendary 2009 tour The Circus. You’ve almost certainly seen snippets of the show on your social feed – so you’ll know to expect a proper spectacle. These shows have featured everything from fireworks and clowns to massive puppet elephants. As well as, obviously, some of the mightiest British pop songs of the century so far.
