Take That add new dates to 2015 arena tour

Take That have added extra dates to their 2015 arena tour.

The trio will now play a total of nine shows at The O2 after adding shows on June 13 and 15.

Meanwhile, they will also play extra shows at Birmingham's LG Arena on May 12 and June 22, Manchester Arena on May 30 and June 29, and Newcastle's Metro Radio Arena on July 2.

They will perform in eight cities starting in April, and will be supported by X Factor star Ella Henderson.

Following huge demand for tickets, the group had already added extra dates in Birmingham, Manchester and London yesterday (November 12).

Take That will release their seventh album III on December 1, with the first single 'These Days' due for release on November 23.

This will mark the first time that the band have recorded as a three-piece, as Jason Orange left Take That earlier this year.

Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald will also perform at Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball on December 6.
