Take That at Etihad Stadium LIVE as doors finally open for first The Circus show

As live music tours go, this one is pretty impressive.

Originally staged in 2009, The Circus Live broke UK records as the fastest-selling tour in history, with over 600,000 tickets sold in under 5 hours, and over one million fans attending the sell-out shows across the UK and Ireland.

The tour began on 5 June 2009 at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland and finished on 5 July 2009 at Wembley Stadium in London. First time round, it made a profit of £40,560,000.

Now that’s my idea of a very nice day out.
