Boyzone have announced a second night at London’s Emirates Stadium after fans snapped up tickets for their 2026 comeback show in record time.
The group — Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch — will now play the north London venue on Friday June 5 as well as the previously announced Saturday June 6 date under the new banner Two For The Road: Live at Emirates Stadium, London.
The first date, titled One For The Road, sold out within hours of going on pre-sale last week, prompting promoters to add a second night. Together, the two shows will see the band perform to more than 88,000 fans — their biggest live audiences to date.
It will mark Boyzone’s first performances since 2019, when they completed a five-night run at the London Palladium during their farewell tour. The concerts follow the success of the Sky documentary Boyzone: No Matter What, which reignited public interest in the Irish group and offered an emotional look back at their 30-year journey.
In a statement, 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.”
Formed in Dublin in 1993, Boyzone became one of the UK and Ireland’s biggest pop acts, scoring 17 consecutive Top 10 singles between 1994 and 2008 — including six Number 1s such as No Matter What, A Different Beat and Words. They have sold more than 25 million records worldwide and won four Brit Awards and an Ivor Novello.
Asked by the Standard why they had chosen London for their biggest-ever gigs, Keating replied: “This was the first place we came when we left Dublin in 1994. We recorded our first album here, we did Saturday morning TV here, and we learned our craft here.
“There was no pop music scene in Ireland at the time — we had to come to the UK to be discovered. For 33 years, London has felt like home, so it’s fitting we say goodbye here.”
The upcoming shows will also serve as a tribute to their late bandmate Stephen Gately, who died in 2009.
Tickets for Boyzone’s second Emirates Stadium date go on general sale at 9am on Friday October 10.
