Take That are back! And they’re returning to their home city with their new tour.

Gary, Mark and Howard have been ramping up the anticipation for a new tour on their social media platforms over the past few days, with reels of the lads preparing back stage for a Circus-themed performance and a countdown on the band’s website to a big announcement.

The biggest teaser of all came on September 18 when stadiums across the country, including the Etihad, were featured in teasing reels of the instantly-recognisable Take That logo and projections of three marching elephants, which were all shared by the band’s official Instagram page.

Now it has been confirmed that the band will indeed be returning to their home city of Manchester in 2026 with two dates at the home of Manchester City, the Etihad Stadium.

Ahead of releasing their 10th studio album towards the end of 2026, the Back for Good boys will return to play shows on June 19 and 20.

They will be supported by The Script and Belinda Carlisle.

Roll up, roll up

It’s set to be the Greatest Day for fans, with the band saying: “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 wait to take you back to that magical place - the same iconic set awaits, along with some new surprises...”
