Irish boyband Boyzone have announced plans for new music and a 25th anniversary reunion tour.
“2018 will see Boyzone celebrate their 25th anniversary! That’s something that Ronan, Keith, Mikey and Shane are incredibly proud of. Plans are being hatched for new music and lots of touring throughout the year,” reads the caption of an Instagram post featuring group members Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham.
"But next year still seems a long way off, so in case you can’t wait, the Boyz are hitting the road for some exclusive UK shows later this summer. Dates and ticketing details will be announced here soon.”

The boyband, who garnered a significant fanbase in Europe and Asia in the 1990s, has continued to be active in the past years, particularly when one of its members teamed up with a fellow veteran popstar from Westlife to create the hybrid group Boyzlife.
“Brian McFadden and I have been talking about this for a while so it’s really exciting to finally be able to reveal Boyzlife. We can’t wait to get out on the road and reconnect with our fans, taking a trip down memory lane,” Boyzone’s Duffy said of the news at the time.
As reported by NME, McFadden, who originally left Westlife in 2004, added: “Keith and I have always been great friends and we’ve wanted to work together for quite a while now. With the amount of stories between us we knew it would make for a great live show, mixed in with a few songs!” (sul/kes)
