Lead singer Gary shared a variety of pictures of arenas/football stadiums imprinted with the Take That logo onto his Instagram story on Wednesday night (September 20).

Although the 52-year-old provided no further context, fans have of course been speculating that it means a new Take That stadium tour is on the horizon.

The timing would make sense as the band – which currently consists of Gary, Howard Donald and Mark Owen – are releasing a new single called ‘Windows’ tomorrow (Friday, September 22).

Where can the people of Lancashire go to watch Take That?

The closest venue shared by Gary is the Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester, which is still undergoing construction.

Located near to Etihad Campus, it will be the UK's biggest indoor arena, with a capacity of 23,000, and it is already set to be home to an Olivia Rodrigo and Simply Red stadium tour.

Co-Op Live also took to Instagram to share a picture of the projection on Wednesday night with the caption “*two eye emoji*”.
