Take That In Wonderland

Take That is hitting the road once more, this time with a tour consisting of mostly U.K. shows to promote its forthcoming album. All Saints is joining as a special guest.

The tour is almost all U.K. dates except for one show in Ireland May 15 at Dublin’s .  The first show on the routing is May 8 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and things wrap up in Norwich, England, June 16. There are multiple nights scheduled in most of the arenas getting shows, so fans will have plenty of chances to get their fill of the boy band (now man band?).

The group is also performing at the BBC’s  For Terry concert at London’s  Nov. 1.

The new album, Wonderland, is coming out March 17. The band is giving fans who preorder it by 23:59 BST today access to a special presale on Oct. 26. Just to be clear, that means you have to order the album within five hours of this article’s publication time.
