Take That concert chronology

Take That Live (also known as the III Tour) was the ninth concert tour by English band Take That, in support of their seventh studio album III . The shows were announced on 8 November 2014. [1] The demand for the tour led to all dates selling out as soon as they went on sale, with some dates selling out in pre-sale alone. [2] Due to this demand, Take That announced extra dates to their tour. [3] On 26 January 2015, a European leg of the tour was announced. [4] It is their first concert tour since the Progress Live tour in 2011 and the first to feature the band as a trio following the departures of Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.
