They last toured as part of Greatest Hits Live in 2019, during which they played two nights at the Stadium.

A crowd of 30,000 flocked to St Mary’s to see the world’s biggest boy band on May 25 and 26, 2019.

Beginning their two-night gig in Southampton, the legendary pop band, rocked the audience with a string of some of their best hits spanning more than three decades.

Take That supporters, some bedecked in glitter and Take That paraphernalia, gathered in bright sunshine in Southampton for an unforgettable day.

Anticipation hung heavy in the air as thousands excitedly waited for Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald to make their appearance.

The trio burst onto the huge Pac-Man-shaped stage, each of them dressed in blue shell suits - a cheeky nod to their early days.
