To honour their homecoming tour, Manchester Arena is to be renamed the Take That Arena for one week only to coincide with the duration of their 5 show residency from Monday 22nd April 2019.

The grand gesture celebrates the band’s impressive tally of Manchester Arena performances - a record breaking 46 – the most by any music act in the venue’s history.

2019 marks Take That’s 30th Anniversary and to coincide with this milestone, they released ‘Odyssey’ a re-imagined greatest hits album that takes the listener on a journey through the incredible musical history of one of the UK’s most successful bands of all time.

General Manager, James Allen comments: “Take That have been with us from the start and as they grace our stage next week for their homecoming, it is fitting that they should perform at the Take That Arena. The rebrand is our way of marking the band’s record breaking achievement of 46 performances here, an accolade that is truly deserving of this recognition, a show of pride from their venue at the heart of the city.
