Worried fans will be pleased to know the London Stadium will slash water prices in half for bottles bought on site and free refill stations will be available inside and outside
New warnings have been sent out to Take That fans going to The Circus Live tour shows in London this week due to the ongoing red alert heatwave. Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen are taking to the stage at the London Stadium on Thursday (June 25), Friday (June 26) and Saturday (June 27).
The Met Office put in place a rare red weather warning until 11.59pm tomorrow (Thursday, June 25) and we won’t be out of the woods on Friday (June 26) as temperatures are set to still be sweltering at 36C. The forecast for Saturday (June 27) is for temperatures to still be under heatwave conditions at 32C.
A message to fans attending the upcoming London shows reads: “Due to the amber and red weather warnings in place for the Take That concerts, we will be implementing a 50 per cent price reduction on Smart Water across both concessions and hospitality, to support guest safety and enhance the overall experience.
“We are closely monitoring the forecast for our shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and have measures in place to support the safety and wellbeing of all attendees.
“Fans are advised not to camp outside the stadium or within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, as this is against local bylaws and can be unsafe in high temperatures. If arriving early on the day, there is plenty of shade available within the park under trees and planting.
“Attendees should come prepared for warm conditions, including wearing suitable clothing, sun protection, and bringing water. No glass or cans are permitted, but reusable water containers will be allowed. There are multiple free drinking water points available inside and outside the stadium.”
What is allowed and what is banned?
- Fans are urged to come suitably covered for queues with long sleeves, hats, water and sun cream.
- No glass of any kind or cans will be allowed in.
- Reusable bottles including metal will be permitted.
- Soft drinks and water in plastic bottles will be permitted in with screw tops off.
- Water refill stations will be available inside the stadium and outside.
- Organisers have said: “Please do not camp outside stadium fence line or on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – it is against local by laws and also very unsafe.”
Entry times
The door opening times, last entry, and set times, are yet to be determined. Re-entry is not permitted. Once inside, guests are free to move around the stadium and Stadium Island.
Accessibility entry
Supporters with accessible seating tickets can enter via any stadium entrance.

The Circus Live Tour
Take That’s Circus Live broke the mould for live productions when it opened in 2009. Hailed as a ‘trailblazing pop show’ by critics across the board, it raised the bar for live entertainment with its sheer ambition and creativity. Fans were wowed from beginning to end with a visual feast that included fire-breathers, stilt-walkers, clowns, acrobats, tap dancers, and a huge 30-foot-tall mechanical elephant, which carried the band through the audience.
