Take That will tour the UK and Ireland in 2017 - including five dates here in Manchester - and tickets went on sale this morning from Ticketmaster.
Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen will visit cities including Sheffield, Glasgow, Birmingham, Dublin, Liverpool – and of course Manchester.
The tour will begin in May and conclude with stadium shows in Swansea on June 14 and Norwich Carrow Road Stadium on June 16.
The Manchester favourites will appear at the Arena on Thursday May 18, Friday May 19, Saturday May 20 and Friday May 26. And they have now added Thursday May 25 and Saturday May 27.
The tour is being billed as 'their most exciting live experience to date' and is in support of their brand new album 'Wonderland', scheduled for release in March 2017.
The gigs will feature a stage in the centre of the arena floor: 'giving their fans a truly unique and memorable experience like never before.'
The concerts will also be the first time that fans will see the band perform brand new material from their forthcoming studio album 'Wonderland', which is due out in March, as well as their much-loved classics, performed in the round.
Take That are huge live draw and have sold over 7.6 million concert tickets in their lifetime, setting the record for the fastest selling tour of all time in UK history when 1.34 million tickets were snapped up for their Progress Live Tour in less than 24 hours.

Earlier this month they performed a storming set of their greatest hits including Greatest Day, Patience and Pray to an audience of 65,000 people at London's historic Hyde Park.
The next tour will be Take That's 10th.
Last year their 25-date Take That Live arena tour saw them break the record for the most musical performances at the Manchester Arena.
Their nine hometown concerts took their tally over the years to 38, making them the most-played musical act at the arena, overtaking Westlife who did 33 shows and Kylie who has done 30.
