Gary, Mark and Howard are back with a bang with a new - and even more spectacular - The Circus Live tour, which kicked off in Southampton on Friday night.
The tour will see them make a return to the Stadium of Light on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, with support from The Script and Belinda Carlisle, and the North East’s Zoe Birkett joining them for Relight My Fire.
The original Circus was one of the band’s biggest ever tours and it opened at Stadium of Light in June, 2009, featuring a giant mechanical elephant - which is even bigger and better this time around.
The lads then returned to Wearside with the Progress Live tour in 2011.
Ahead of their return to Sunderland for 2026, here’s a teaser of what we can expect next week.
