Boyzone are reuniting for a big stadium gig in London next summer
It will be the first time the band perform together since their 2019 Thank You & Goodnight farewell tour.
BOYZONE WILL REUNITE for a one-off show in London next year for what they say will be their final performance together.
One For The Road: Live At Emirates Stadium London on 6 June 2026 will be the band’s biggest live show to date.
It will also be the first time the band perform together since their 2019 Thank You & Goodnight farewell tour, which was the final tour before the group last split up and included performances in Dublin and Belfast.
Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch plan to pay tribute to their late bandmate Stephen Gately who died of a congenital heart defect at the age of 33 in 2009.
The gig comes after the success of their documentary series Boyzone: No Matter What, which Keating said last year prompted the surviving members to discuss reuniting.
The documentary charted the formation of the band, to rows with former manager Louis Walsh, and also saw them grapple with the sudden loss of group member Stephen Gately.
Boyzone are back! Today, they announce ‘One For The Road: Live At Emirates Stadium, London’, a world exclusive headline show on Saturday 6 June 2026 - the biggest of their entire career anywhere in the world and the only place to see Boyzone live on stage in 2026.

Speaking on the Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 last year, Keating said the reaction to the documentary was “unbelievable”.
The group, which was formed in 1993, first broke up in 2000, as their members decided to pursue solo careers, before reuniting in 2007.
‘Heartbreaking’
Speaking on BBC Breakfast today, Keating said next year’s performance will be “heartbreaking” without Gately.
“We’ve been together, we’ve been apart. We do find it easier when we are together because Steo’s alive when we’re together. So that’ a beautiful thing,” he said.
“But it’s going to be hard to stand up on that stage without him, that’s for sure.”
The group said the performance has been arranged as a final goodbye and to have a chance to play in a stadium together.
“To get to Emirates together all of us and say our final farewell the way we want to do it will be pretty powerful,” Keating said.
They confirmed the gig will not lead to a tour.
“It’s a celebration, it’s the final chapter, it’s us boys one last time on the stage together,” Keith Duffy added.
Pre-sale opens at 9am on 7 October. Remaining tickets will go on general sale from 9am on 10 October.
