00:00It's just the best show ever to be in.
00:02I want to make it really special.
00:03New music and touring, that's what tape that's about.
00:06We've had this secret for so long now,
00:09and these days to try and keep secrets is really hard.
00:13So we can't believe that we've got to this week,
00:15and we're announcing it for the first time
00:18without anyone breaking it before us.
00:21But yeah, Circus is back.
00:22Oh my goodness, in 2026?
00:24Yeah, 2026, yeah.
00:25This is so exciting.
00:27We're playing eight cities.
00:29Yeah.
00:30UK and Ireland, and we're very excited.
00:33Here we go.
00:34We can see it all up there behind.
00:36You go Southampton, Southampton, 29th of May.
00:39We've got Coventry, Sunderland, Glasgow, Cardiff, Manchester,
00:43London, Dublin, there we go.
00:45This idea has been around for about five years.
00:48We've talked about, you know, why would we do it?
00:52You know, how would we do it?
00:55I don't know.
00:56I think we came off the road.
00:57We toured for nine months last year.
00:59It was a long tour, and by the end of it, we were like,
01:02I can't bear the thought of it being three or four years before we go back out.
01:06And so that cycle of new music, promotion, and other art,
01:10it's like, we want a tour next year.
01:12How can we do that?
01:13And this came up again.
01:15We always felt that we had unfinished business,
01:19because we know that a lot of people couldn't get tickets for the first one.
01:22And I've always wanted to do it again.
01:24We've kind of had the circus theme running through a lot of our shows,
01:28and you always keep going back to it, saying,
01:30oh, what if we did this?
01:31Why don't we do that again?
01:32And that is the one show that always comes up where we thought,
01:35let's recreate it, not mess with it too much as well.
01:40They always find that the more time we spend together,
01:42the better results we get.
01:44I want to make it really special.
01:46I don't want us to rush it.
01:47You know, my one memory of the circus tour was the smiles on everyone's faces.
01:53It's just like escape.
01:56It's two hours of complete escape for us as well.
01:59It was just amazing to be a part of it, riding the elephant through it.
02:04I mean, honestly, it's just the best show ever to be in.
02:08And I do believe it's one of our best shows.
02:11And why not?
02:12Why not?
02:13Let's go and do it all again.
02:14And what is your favourite song to perform?
02:18Well, I'd say the opening because we appear in the middle of the stadium
02:25in the opening and we do Greatest Day,
02:27and it just feels like we've got two hours of this ahead of us.
02:32It feels fantastic.
02:34That opening night, when we do that, it's going to be unbelievable.
02:38This is really where we're at, new music and touring.
02:41That's what October is about.
02:43How do you feel about the news today?
02:46Oh, amazing.
02:46Fabulous.
02:47I was there the first time.
02:49Can't wait to get to see it again.
02:50Oh, super excited.
02:52I wasn't expecting it to happen so soon,
02:54but not going to have any money for a while, but hey-ho.
02:56Why do you think that they've re-established themselves, come back?
03:00What is so special about them?
03:02I think it's the nostalgia, isn't it?
03:04I think that you go and see them, you feel like you're a teenager again.
03:07They're all fit, aren't they?
03:09No, I think it's the end.
03:09Okay?
03:09Okay.
03:11Okay.
