Take That have taken a swipe at Oasis saying they just "stand around and sing."

The former boy band - whose new album "Circus" will be released on December 1 - insist their rival stadium tour next year will be more exciting than the rockers' basic show.

Both tours include dates at London's Wembley Stadium and in Manchester, where both bands are from.

Group member Howard Donald said: "There's a totally different energy to the two shows. We're all about the spectacle, putting on an amazing show for the fans, with lots of high energy and dancing."

"Oasis are great - if you just want to see a band stand still and sing. They have a different kind of energy."

Howard's fellow bandmate Mark Owen added: "It's like all the boys coming home."

"I really want to go and see Oasis but if finances make people choose one or the other, then come and see us."

Mark, who comprises Take That along with Howard, Gary Barlow and Jason Orange, also revealed plans to get in touch with "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell to see if he could recommend any promising acts from his U.K. TV show "Britain's Got Talent."

He said: "The album's called 'Circus' but we don't want the animal rights outside trying to shut us down. Maybe we'll be able to get a dog and a cat. We need to phone Simon Cowell."
