The Riverside Stadium was ready to Shine earlier this evening (May 24) as Take That fans geared up to watch the chart topping band play at their very best.
Tonight's gig is the first time the band have performed at the Riverside since 2019 - and they've now made a pit stop in the region as part of their ‘This Life’ tour, named after the bands latest album.
The night kicked off with support from Olly Murs, who is back on the road with the band after missing a Glasgow gig earlier this month when his flight from Heathrow was cancelled hours before the show.
Pictures of smiling fans outside the stadium showed them donning their best Take That merchandise and even customised sunglasses, ready to sing their hearts out all evening.
Here are just a few pictures of fans - can you spot yourself?
