Take That have confirmed that they are to hit the road next summer for their "best and most exciting" tour to date.
'Take That Presents The Circus Live - Summer 2009' will kick off in Sunderland's Stadium of Light on June 6. It is named after the group's forthcoming album The Circus, due for release on December 1.
The jaunt will see band members Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen play eight shows over five venues, ending up at London's Wembley Stadium in July.
A statement from 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.
"This will be the biggest tour we've ever done so we'll be working especially hard over the next few months to make it the best and most exciting Take That tour yet."
Dates have been confirmed at Sunderland Stadium of Light, Cardiff Millennium Stadium, Hampden Park, Manchester Old Trafford Cricket Ground, and London Wembley Stadium. Tickets go on sale on October 31 at 9am.
A tour spokeswoman said there are currently no plans for former band member Robbie Williams to make any appearances.
