Britain’s top-selling boy band, Take That, have announced a spectacular stadium gig in Cardiff as part of their upcoming summer tour. The show at the Principality Stadium is one of 11 massive UK & Ireland dates confirming the return of their iconic The Circus Live tour in Summer 2026.
The Circus Live was originally staged in 2009, and its return has been much anticipated. The original tour broke records as the fastest-selling in UK history, with over 600,000 tickets sold in under five hours.
Their 2026 run promises to be even more ambitious, with full production, big stadium venues, and excellent support acts including The Script and Belinda Carlisle.
