About This Event

Take That return to Manchester for The Circus Live at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday 21 June 2026, bringing one of the biggest pop reunions back to their home city. This is your chance to experience the legendary boyband live in front of a massive crowd, performing all their greatest hits from three decades of chart-dominating success. With Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, and Howard Donald taking the stage, this summer spectacular promises to be an unforgettable night for fans of all ages.

The Etihad Stadium is Manchester's iconic 55,000-capacity venue in east Manchester, best known as home to Manchester City FC but also one of the region's premier live music destinations. Situated in a world-class sports and entertainment complex, the stadium offers excellent facilities and a genuinely electric atmosphere that's perfect for major pop events.

Getting there is straightforward with excellent transport links – the Etihad Campus tram stop is just minutes away, or there's plenty of parking nearby. Expect big production values, spectacular stage design, and that special magic that only Take That can deliver in their own backyard. Arrive early to soak up the pre-show buzz and grab refreshments, and remember this is an outdoor summer show, so bring layers and check the weather forecast.
