New Review: Take That

Graham Clark - Yorkshire Times

We're still buzzing from the energy of Take That's two sold-out shows here at Utilita Arena Sheffield this weekend! As Graham Clark from Yorkshire Times put it, Take That returned stronger and more popular than ever with their This Life tour, selling over 700,000 tickets across 41 dates—a testament to their enduring appeal.

In his review, Graham highlights the inclusive and impressive nature of the show, where over 24,000 fans across two shows were treated to a spectacle that included everything from snow storms to fire and water effects, all accompanied by a back catalogue of hits that had the audience on their feet.

What's particularly striking is how Take That has evolved over the years. While Gary Barlow's songwriting has long been celebrated, This Life demonstrates a true band effort, with all three members contributing to the tracks that showcase their growth and maturity as artists.

The nostalgic journey through Take That's history, complete with recreated television sets and a walk down memory lane, provided fans with a unique and unforgettable experience. Hits like "Relight My Fire" and "Never Forget" ignited the arena with energy, leaving no doubt that Take That's showmanship and scale of production are unmatched.

As Graham concludes, if the inaugural night of the tour is anything to go by, there's no doubt that Take That is back for good.
