Gary Barlow Hangs Up Take That's Circus Tent
6 Jul
Summary
- Gary Barlow has confirmed no future Take That Circus tours.
- He cited age as a major factor in the decision.
- The band is releasing a new album later this year.
Gary Barlow has stated that Take That's elaborate "Circus" live tour will not be revived. This decision comes as the recent tour, a reimagining of their 2009 shows, concludes this week.
Barlow, 55, reflected on the physical demands of the show, contrasting it with his experience performing it at 38. He expressed sadness but indicated it was time to move on to new productions.
The Circus Live Summer 2026 tour featured Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen recreating the band's celebrated live spectacle. Donald also shared his gratitude to the London fans for their energy.
Jason Orange, who departed the band in 2014, did not participate in the tour. Take That is scheduled to release their tenth studio album later in 2026.
