There are few acts that accomplished the level of success that Boyzone and Westlife respectively achieved as two of the defining groups of the 90s and 00s boyband era, with an incredible tally of UK number-one singles and countless millions of audience members performed to worldwide. Now, following Boyzone’s sold-out reunion shows this summer at Emirates Stadium, which saw Keith Duffy, Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham perform together for the first time since 2019, Boyzlife, the supergroup comprising Boyzone’s Duffy and Westlife’s Brian McFadden, have announced tour dates for spring 2027.
The tour, which follows their hugely successful early 2026 UK tour and upcoming tour dates in October and November, will see them perform a mixture of Boyzone and Westlife classic tracks on the 12-date tour, which takes in Scunthorpe. They will also entertain with some of their own original music, such as their song, Chills, which they performed live for the first time at Emirates Stadium this summer, when Brian joined Keith onstage for a special Boyzlife performance.
Boyzlife will play Scunthorpe Baths Hall on May 21, following the gig up with another show at Skegness Embassy Theatre on May 22. Of the tour, Duffy and McFadden said: "We're absolutely thrilled to announce our spring 2027 tour.
“The incredible memories we created during our 2026 shows and performing together at Emirates Stadium this summer have us counting down the days until we can hit the road again and reunite with all of our amazing fans. Brace yourselves for more unforgettable nights filled with music, laughter, and possibly some special guests joining us along the way. Can’t wait to see you all in 2027.”
Nineties boyband culture is back in the forefront of the public’s minds, with nostalgia reaching a new high following the release of documentaries including Boyband Forever (BBC) and Boyzone: No Matter What (Sky), alongside Robbie Williams biopic Better Man. People are more eager than ever before to catch a glimpse of the defining bands of the era.

Joining forces in 2016, when both Duffy and McFadden had left their respective groups, the incredibly popular touring pop-duo of Boyzlife has performed for more than 300,000 ecstatic fans across the world since its inception, with performances at Carfest, Rewind Festivals and Pub in the Park. Their shows first started as autobiographical ones, with the pair sharing stories from their times in Boyzone and Westlife.
Scattered among the tales were performances of several of each band’s biggest hits. The high demand from fans for more shows with more music led to Boyzlife touring a production showcasing the music from Duffy and McFadden’s iconic catalogues.
Almost ten years later, what started as a tour of small venues has turned into world tours with a full live band, special effects and pyrotechnics. As part of Westlife, McFadden holds a record-breaking seven consecutive UK and Ireland number ones, as well as 12 chart toppers overall.
The band sold more than 30 million records globally and secured four number-one albums. The singer also went on to achieve solo success after Westlife securing a UK number one with Real To Me.
Duffy also enjoyed great success as a member of Boyzone with six number-one UK singles, including 16 out of their first 17 releases making the top five. The group had five number-one albums and sold over 25 million records worldwide.
As Boyzlife continues to evolve, Duffy and McFadden are dedicated to producing new music that reflects their growth as artists and their love for the craft. Their latest single Chills is an upbeat track about the feeling of falling in love.
The 2027 Boyzlife tour will see the duo perform a mixture of hits from both of their individual supergroups, including from Boyzone: I Love The Way You Love Me, All That I Need, No Matter What and from Westlife: My Love, I Lay My Love On You and Uptown Girl. Tickets for the tour go on general sale on Friday, August 7, at 10am, via Ticketmaster.
