The O2

Boyzone to kick off reunion tour at The O2 arena.

One of the UK’s best-selling bands ever, Boyzone have announced a major UK arena tour for 2008 – their first in 7 years! Destined to be one of the ultimate events of next year’s live calendar, it kicks off at The O2 on 30th May 2008 and will see all five original members - Ronan Keating, Stephen Gately, Shane Lynch, Mikey Graham and Keith Duffy­ perform their first concert since Dublin’s Point Depot, January 13th, 2000.

"We've been talking about getting back together for some time now. The Children In Need rehearsals just made us want to tour together again," Ronan Keating admits. "I can't wait to be back on the road and all the guys feel the same. Our live shows were always great fun but this time it will definitely be the best night out ever!"

David Campbell, Chief Executive of AEG Europe, said: “Boyzone are a record breaking band, one of the most successful ever and to have them play their first date in 7 years here at The O2 is another fantastic highlight to add to our ever growing calendar for next year.”

Formed in 1994, Boyzone achieved the best-ever start to a UK singles career with 16 consecutive Top 5 hits. Having scored 6 UK Number 1 singles, plus 4 Number 1 albums their total album sales tally exceeds 15 million, making them one of the UK's best-selling bands.

On Friday, November 16th, Boyzone will reunite for an exclusive television appearance in support of BBC's 'Children In Need'.
