Sunday at 06:034 days Author Take That review – stadium redux of Circus tour has maximal razzle-dazzleSt Mary’s Stadium, SouthamptonElephants, clowns, aerialists hanging by their hair … the Big Top concept doesn’t let up at this hugely enjoyable outing for a boy band with hits to spareMichael CraggTake That have never been shy when it comes to repackaging their past. In 2018, they followed two official best-of collections with Odyssey, a Stuart Price-produced curio in which they “re-imagined” their greatest hits. Around the same time, band captain Gary Barlow – now overseeing just two teammates, Mark Owen and Howard Donald – was brutally honest about the band’s standing as a legacy act more focused on ticket sales than streams. “Even if [the album is] a flop, we’re still going to go on tour next year and play to 600,000 people.”One of the stage sets for Take That’s The Circus Live. Photograph: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images for Take ThatFast forward eight years and the band have sidestepped the studio time and are instead lightly “re-imagining” an entire old tour. And not just any tour. When it first played stadiums in summer 2009, Take That Presents The Circus became the fastest selling jaunt in UK history, making more than £40m in profit. Without an obvious anniversary peg, on paper this unusual reboot of a widely seen show (even the DVD release broke sales records) has the feel of profit-obsessed businessmen stuck in a creative cul-de-sac.Perpetual Butlin’s redcoat Gary Barlow. Photograph: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images for Take ThatIn reality, as a giant sky blue air balloon hovers over a lightly toasted, wine drunk crowd, all cynicism seems to evaporate. While the setlist has barely changed – the Owen-lead Babe has replaced the departed Jason Orange’s Wooden Boat, while recent single You’re a Superstar offers an excuse for a toilet break – its focus on their gold-plated greatest hits means that by the end of act one they’ve already rattled through Pray, A Million Love Songs and Back for Good. For the latter, a smaller B-stage is peppered with shooting water fountains, before a giant mechanical elephant emerges from underneath the stage to walk them to the Big Top-accented main stage.Everywhere you look there’s spectacle. A troupe of dancers share the stage with fire-breathers, tightrope walkers, clowns (one, Joe, briefly gets stuck in the air balloon after it fails to descend), trapeze artists, trampolinists and – why not? – a hair-hanging aerialist. During Relight My Fire everyone involved seems to be holding a naked flame of some description, dancing in front of a devilish inflatable ringmaster. Among the eye-popping circus paraphernalia, the three stars do their best to focus attention, breaking out some of the old It Only Takes a Minute choreography during a high octane 90s medley, and putting on the old razzle-dazzle for a jaunty Shine. Howard and Mark even try their hand at unicycling, while perpetual Butlin’s redcoat Gary rides around on a kid’s bike with stabilisers.#The elephant stage design in The Circus Live. Photograph: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images for Take ThatWhile other pop acts use conceptual frameworks loosely, here the circus theme rarely lets up. During Never Forget, the trio are joined by a marching band and tap dancers, while the 30ft elephant briefly makes a reappearance during the encore. For the closing Rule the World, however, it’s just the band lit by a sea of phone lights, buffeted by a choir of lightly sloshed voices. It’s a genuinely lovely moment and a reminder that despite the sense of deja vu, and the inherent cash grab nature of any reboot, it’s Take That’s undeniable anthems that people can’t get enough of.Take That play St Mary’s Stadium, Southampton, 30 May; then tour the UK and Ireland until 4 JulySource Take That review – stadium redux of Circus tour has maximal razzle-dazzle | Take That | The Guardian
Sunday at 06:164 days Author Nothing can top Take That’s Circus tour – even without JasonClowns, balloons, pyrotechnics: this revival of the band’s hit 2009 show is a spectacle like no otherMay 30, 2026 10:57 am (Updated 11:10 am)Gary Barlow at the opening night of The Circus Live in Southampton (Photo: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images for Take That)Shaun Curran“Who wants to join the circus?” Take That’s Mark Owen asked as the late evening sun beamed on 30,000 fans on the opening night at Southampton’s St Mary’s Stadium. Given Owen and boyband mates Gary Barlow and Howard Donald had just been transported from the B-stage though the crowd on a 30ft mechanical elephant amid a two-hour bonanza of colour and ecstatic motion overload, the answer couldn’t have been more emphatic. You never knew which direction to look: a 40-strong troupe of trapeze artists, fire eaters, acrobats, aerialists, clowns, German wheels, sequin-dressed dancers and marching drummers played amid pyrotechnics, confetti and a light blue hot air balloon that hung still in the air throughout, acting as the production’s emotional north star. Add in 30-plus years of gold-plated hits, and it made for a festival of unfettered joy.Perhaps a more accurate word for Owen to use would have been re-join. We’ve been here before. And you can certainly see why Take That decided to do The Circus Live again. When it was first staged in 2009, it was a phenomenon, breaking records – 600,000 of the one million-plus tickets went in five hours, making it the fastest-selling tour of all time in the UK – and took the pop stadium show to previously unseen creative heights: an ambitious, lavishly OTT spectacle (the show had a reported production cost of £10m) that was so talked-about the elephant was an early viral star. After the wilderness years and Gary Barlow-as-a-national-punchline era, it established Take That’s reputation post-2005 reunion, and convinced a jealous Robbie Williams, then having his first solo career dip, to briefly rejoin the band.The show was a spectacle like no other (Photo: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images for Take That)But it is a highly unusual move not just to repeat a tour of such scale years on, but to replicate it so faithfully. Across two hours, the production differences were negligible, with only a couple of tweaks to the setlist – new song “You’re a Superstar” slotted in seamlessly – with the main point of difference being the continued and still not-quite-explained absence of Jason Orange. But putting aside any retromania concerns and adding to pop’s endless nostalgia complex, it is true to say that 17 years on, even in an era of elaborate hi-tech kitchen-sink stadium shows from megastars like Taylor Swift and The Weeknd, there’s still nothing quite like it.Even if you knew what was coming – or perhaps because people knew exactly what to expect – the band’s reveal from under a huge nest of balloons on the B-stage to open with “The Greatest” was greeted rapturously. For the early hits on the B-stage they leaned on their past – for “Pray” the trio brought out the original dance (at 58, Donald can still bust a move); for “Back for Good” they took umbrellas as they danced through water fountains à la the music video (Barlow particularly remains in great voice).The clown costumes were a highlight (Photo: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images for Take That)But things really took off when the main stage marquee was stripped back and the carnival commenced with a euphoric take on 2006 anthem “Shine,” sung by the still cheekily roguish Owen. The band’s costume-change into sad clowns – Barlow applying his make-up onstage at the piano was strangely poignant – made for the trippiest, knowingly ridiculous part of the show: a Hi-NRG camp circus disco medley of their earliest hits, complete with crotch thrusts to first hit “Do What You Like” and Donald and Owen tricycling down the stage runway in impressive fashion (as middle aged men it was no mean feat). Knowingly, Barlow took a clown car instead.“Never Forget” deployed the marching band brilliantly for an epic back-to-back with “Patience” – “the song that brought us back together in 2006”, as Barlow noted. For “Relight My Fire”, the staging took a darker, after-hours turn, with fire dancers and an updated, imposing 50ft inflatable moving ringmaster that strayed slightly into twisted, Chemical Brothers scary visual territory. With Lulu’s part sang by dynamo former Pop Idol contestant Zoe Birkett, it was rousing set closer. Emotional epic “Rule the World” finished the encore, and with it a spectacle like no other.Source Nothing can top Take That’s Circus tour - even without Jason
