News : Boyzone confirm one-off 2026 stadium performance

Boyzone are coming back together for a one-time stadium concert in 2026.

The Irish group, which features Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham, will headline London’s Emirates Stadium on Saturday June 6, 2026. It will be their first live performance since their short run of shows at the London Palladium in 2019.

The decision to reunite came after the glowing reception to the Love Me For A Reason singers’ documentary Boyzone: No Matter What.

In a joint message, the band said: "We've been truly blown away and humbled by the response to the documentary this year. The love we've felt from fans all over the world has inspired us to create the ultimate experience together, headlining our own stadium show.

"The four of us can't wait to stand together again and enjoy One For The Road."

Pre-sale tickets will be available on October 7 at 9am, with the general release opening at 9am on October 10.

Ronan had recently hinted that they might “try” to reunite in the near future.

The 48-year-old singer first rose to fame in 1993 as a member of the Irish boy band with Keith, Mikey, Shane, and Stephen Gately, who passed away in 2009 at the age of 33.

During an appearance on the Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 earlier this month, Ronan explained that the huge response to the four-part Sky documentary, which was released in February, sparked new conversations about the band’s future and encouraged him to think about bringing them back.

He said: “The reaction was unbelievable, so we’ve obviously been talking about our story for the last 30 years, and we felt like that was kind of it, that maybe that was the end of the story.

“And well, we’ve all been chatting over the last few weeks, and I think 2026 might be a year for Boyzone to maybe try and do something.”

The band later shared a post on Instagram featuring a group photo with the caption “the journey continues” and asked fans to sign up for their mailing list.

Boyzone originally split in 2000 to pursue solo projects before coming back together in 2007.

They toured heavily, including their Thank You And Goodnight farewell shows from 2018 to 2019, but have not shared a stage together since.

When asked by Scott Mills how his fellow band members were doing, Ronan replied: “They’re really great… after the documentary, the reaction was crazy, it was unbelievable, honestly, even people that weren’t fans of Boyzone were contacting me saying, ‘I had no idea’.”

Reflecting on the success of Boyzone: No Matter What, he added: “British Airways had it on the plane (to England) in the documentary section, and somebody was watching it next to me, and it was really awkward, I had to put a blanket over my head.”

Boyzone achieved six UK number one singles and five UK number one albums, with songs like Love Me For A Reason, Words and No Matter What.

Keith later formed Boyzlife with former Westlife singer Brian McFadden in 2016, performing tracks from both groups.

The duo will also head out on tour in 2026, with dates scheduled between February and March.

Boyzlife have released two albums, Strings Attached in 2020 and Old School in 2022.
