Ronan Keating, the singer who just announced they’ll be playing on the same stage as the band in the upcoming year, issued a warning to fans just hours after the band announced they’d be performing on the same night.
Boyzone star Ronan Keating has laid bare the band’s reunion plans as he issued a blunt message to fans. The Irish group sent their fanbase into a frenzy this morning by announcing a huge show.
They will take to the stage together once more in June next year with all original band members on board. Ronan, Mikey Graham, Keith Duffy and Shane Lync will perform at Emirates Stadium in London on Saturday 6 June.
The band are set to pay tribute to the late Stephen Gately during the show, which follows on from the success of documentary Boyzone: No Matter What on Sky. Boyzone 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.”
This will be their first performance since 2019. Ronan has since apologised to fans and clarified what the show really means for the band’s future.
He remarked, “This is not a reunion.” We don’t create new music. We’re not putting the band back together to go on tour the world, and there isn’t any new music.
Ronan told the Sun and other press that it is a one night show, and if they decide to add more it would become two nights at the Emirates. The singer added they won’t perform anywhere else.
Boyzone first ended in 2000, as their members continued to pursue independent careers before reuniting in 2007. They didn’t return to the stage since their 2018-2019 Thank You And Goodnight farewell tour.
Ronan had already teased a reunion as speaking on the Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2, 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.
We’ve all been conversing over the past few weeks, and I believe Boyzone might try to do something in 2026.
When asked how his bandmates were getting along, Ronan responded, “They’re really great… After the documentary, the reaction was unbelievable, even people who weren’t Boyzone fans were contacting me and said, “I had no idea.”
“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.”
On October 10, 2009, Stephen passed away at the age of 33 from natural causes at his Mallorcan holiday home. Officials at the inquest into the singer’s death told the jury that he had a pulmonary oedema, or a lungs’ buildup, that ultimately led to respiratory failure.
