What have the stars said about their tour?

The incredible memories we created during our 2025 shows have us counting down the days until we can hit the road again and reunite with all of our amazing fans.

What’s the story behind Boyzlife?
90s 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 Keith and Brian 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 Keith and Brian 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 show showcasing the music from Keith and Brian’s iconic catalogues. Almost 10 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, Brian 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. Brian also went on to achieve solo success after Westlife securing a UK number one with ‘Real To Me’.
Keith 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 5. The group had five number one albums and sold over 25 million records worldwide.
As Boyzlife continues to evolve, Keith and Brian are dedicated to producing new music that reflects their growth as artists and their love for the craft. Their latest single ‘LoveBirds’ is a timeless pop ballad that captures the ache and beauty of love in full flight.
