Take That fans ‘fuming’ as they struggle to get tickets for 2026 tour

The show will be a sequel to their 2009 tour

Fans of boyband Take That were left incredibly disappointed after they failed to get tickets for their upcoming 2026 tour.

The Shine hitmakers are set to return to the stage next summer as a three-piece consisting of Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald. Founding members Robbie Williams and Jason Orange will not be taking part.

Titled The Circus Live in 2026, the show will be a sequel to their 2009 tour, Take That Presents: The Circus Live.

Take That announce new 2026 tour

“We’re so excited to be bringing back The Circus Live in 2026! Next summer, in stadiums across the UK & Ireland, we’ll celebrate people, music, and the wonder of human creativity. We can’t wait to take you back to that magical place – the same iconic set awaits, along with some new surprises…” they announced on Instagram last week.

Support acts include Irish band The Script and 80s icon Belinda Carlisle.

Following the announcement, a pre-sale for early tickets went on sale this morning (September 25) for eager fans.

However, due to high demand, many struggled to purchase tickets for their date of choice.
