Take That tell of excitement ahead of Leeds First Direct Arena performance in 'such a lovely city'

Leeds First Direct Arena will host three dates of the This Life On Tour shows next year from the pop band, which comprises of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen.

The tour is taking place across the UK to mark the release of the band’s ninth studio album, This Life, and will see them joined by special guest Olly Murs.

Take That are returning to stadium and arena stages for the first time in nearly five years after they last performed in 2019 during their Summer Series at Ashton Gate.

The tour kicks off in April and Take That will play at Leeds’ First Direct Arena on April 18, 19 and 20.

Ahead of tickets going on general sale tomorrow (Friday), the group shared their excitement of returning to the city. Mark said: “Leeds is such a lovely city and we’re so happy to be heading back there.”

Howard added: “It is such a great university town, with a great spirit. We can’t wait to get back there.”

The latest tour will see Gary, Mark and Howard play a total of 29 dates across 15 cities around the UK and Ireland, including the two shows in Leeds.

General sale takes will go on sale tomorrow (September 29), from 9.30am and can be purchased from the band’s website.

Tickets for select venues can also be purchased from Ticketmaster.
