Ronan Keating has insisted Boyzone have no plans to make new music or tour the world again.
The Irish boy band – completed by Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham – will play a one-off concert at London’s Emirates Stadium on Saturday June 6, 2026, their first performance since their shows at the London Palladium in 2019.
However, fans hoping for a full-blown reunion will be disappointed.
As quoted by The Sun newspaper, Ronan told assembled media in London this week: “This is not a reunion. We’re not making new music.
“There’s no new music and we’re not getting the band back together to tour the world.
“This is right now, it’s one show at the Emirates. If we add a night, amazing, it will be two nights at Emirates, but that will be it.
“We won’t be taking this show anywhere else in the world. We want people to come and see us at the Emirates.”
Ronan, 48, said of why a tour isn’t possible: “I don’t think we’re built for it anymore. We can’t do it, honestly.”
His bandmate Keith, 51, quipped: “We’re not kids and his knees are gone.”
The one-off gig was inspired by the rave reviews of the Love Me For A Reason hitmakers’ documentary Boyzone: No Matter What.
A band statement read: “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.”
A pre-sale takes place on October 7 at 9am, followed by the general sale 9am on October 10.
