One of the world’s biggest bands bring their Circus tour, the fastest selling tour in UK history, to Wembley. This programme features Take That’s performance at Wembley stadium earlier this year in front of 75,000 fans.

The spectacular show features Gary, Mark, Jason and Howard plus an array of dancers, acrobats, drummers, trapeze artists and even a giant mechanical elephant to create the circus atmosphere in the country’s biggest stadium. Embracing the theme the band perform a medley of their earliest hits dressed as clowns and Mark, Jason and Howard even take to the stage on unicycles.

Opening the show with the instantly recognisable hit Greatest Day, the band perform some of their best known and most loved songs including Back for Good, Shine, Up All Night, Never Forget and Patience before closing with Rule the World accompanied by fireworks above Wembley stadium.

ACROBATS, trapeze artists, clowns, drummers, a tightrope walker....oh, and an giant mechanical elephant.

These were the many colourful things that joined Take That on stage during their Circus tour of the summer.

It was a spectacular event, which toured the country and ran for three nights at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.

It was the fastest-selling tour in UK history and the Fab Four boys didn’t disappoint their hundreds of thousands of fans.

Their performance at Wembley stadium, in front of 75,000, was filmed and now highlights are screened in a 90-minute show.

Embracing the circus theme, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald performed a medley of their earliest hits while dressed as clowns – and Mark, Jason and Howard even took to the stage on unicycles.

The giant elephant, which hides people underneath moving it along and acting as its swishing tail, is something which has to be seen to be believed.

Opening the show with Greatest Day, which has become an instant classic (though overused at emotional moments in reality TV shows), the multi-talented band played 23 hits and changed into seven different outfits.

Songs included Back For Good, Shine, Never Forget and Patience.

Particular highlights were a visually-stunning staging of Up All Night, a rousing Relight My Fire involving real fire, and the wonderful final song, Rule The World. As Gary Barlow sang “we’re lighting up the sky for you,” fireworks went off above the stadium in a memorable finale.

The lads are so witty, humble and delighted at their continued success that they will convert plenty of new fans.

With their charm, they make us all want to run away and join their circus.
