TAKE That have just announced a huge tour for 2024 - including a pair of Irish dates.

The boyband survivors have also released a brand new single, Windows - their first for five years - taken from their forthcoming album This Life, set for release on November  24.

This Life On Tour will see the trio of Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald, playing 29 dates across 15 cities around the UK and Ireland, with support from Olly Murs.

The band will visit Dublin's 3Arena on April 22 and 23. Those who pre-order This Life from the official Take That online store at tix.to/TakeThat before 10am on September 26 will receive a special code to access pre-sale tickets from Wednesday September 27 at 9.30am. Tickets will go on general sale on Friday September 29 at 9.30am via ticketmaster.ie.

Take That last toured in 2019, celebrating their 30th anniversary with the 38 date sell-out Odyssey tour, selling over 650,000 tickets. 

This Life, the band’s ninth studio album, will be their first since 2017’s Wonderland.

The band say: “It’s been a wonderful experience being back in the studio together making this record. It has that feeling of spreading your wings, letting out the old and bringing in the new.

"'We’re incredibly proud of the new album - there’s a sense of togetherness, whether that’s us coming back together as a band or people wanting connection in their own lives. We’re excited for this new chapter.”
