British boy band Take That have announced that they will be touring the UK following the release of their new album Circus.
The boys courted media attention recently because their album shared its name with Britney Spears’ comeback effort.
Although the tour is not due to begin until June 2009, fans are no doubt booking their tickets, coaches and car hire for the performances in cities up and down the country.
The tour will begin in Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on June 6th and will conclude with a series of dates at the Manchester Old Trafford Cricket Ground and London‘s Wembley Arena.
In a statement, the band said: “All of us are really looking forward to getting back on the road again next summer.
“We can think of no better way to thank everyone for their support and loyalty over the past three years.”
Take That’s latest album, Circus, will be released on December 1st.
