Take That – The Circus Live at Etihad Stadium, Manchester

Take That are bringing The Circus Live to Manchester this summer, and if you're a fan of the iconic British pop legends, Wednesday 1 July 2026 is a date you won't want to miss. This is your chance to see Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen perform live at their spiritual home in the city, delivering all those unforgettable hits that defined a generation. The Circus Live promises to be a spectacular celebration of their incredible catalogue, from early classics to newer material.

The Etihad Stadium is one of Manchester's most impressive venues, located in the heart of East Manchester and home to Manchester City FC. It's a world-class arena that's hosted countless major events, and the 55,000-capacity stadium provides an absolutely electric atmosphere for live performances. You'll be surrounded by fellow fans in a proper Manchester setting, making this an unforgettable experience.

The venue is easily accessible via the Metrolink tram system, with Etihad Campus station right on your doorstep, and there's ample car parking available if you're driving. Arrive early to soak up the pre-show buzz and grab some food and drinks from the stadium's facilities. Bring a jumper – even in July, outdoor stadium gigs can get fresh as the evening sets in.
