When Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham, and Shane Lynch took their last bow as Boyzone in 2019 with their ‘Thank You And Goodnight’ farewell tour, well, turns out it wasn’t actually goodnight. 

That’s because, seven years later, the Dublin boys are back for a two-night show in London. ‘One For The Road: Live At Emirates Stadium’ is set to be the boyband’s biggest ever headline show, with capacity for 44,000 fans. 

Put together by Louis Walsh back in 1993, Boyzone’s weighty discography includes 18 top 10 singles and six number ones, with hits like ‘No Matter What’, ‘I Love the Way You Love Me’ and ‘Baby Can I Hold You’. If you’ve got a ticket (or you’re looking for one), here’s everything you need to know.

When are Boyzone playing the Emirates Stadium?

The boyband’s farewell shows are taking place in north London on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 June 2026.

What time do doors open?

Doors will open at 5pm on both days.

What time will the band come on stage?

Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch are set to take to the stage at 8.15pm.

The show is expected to finish at 10.30pm before the stadium closes at 11pm.

What’s the seating plan?

Here’s the seating plan at the Emirates Stadium, according to Ticketmaster:

Who’s supporting Boyzone at the Emirates?

There’ll be one support slot on each night. On Friday June 5, pop band S Club will be taking to the stage ahead of Boyzone, while on Saturday June 6 Irish girl group B*Witched will be warming up the crowd. Both are due to perform at 6.45pm.

Setlist

Boyzone has not confirmed an advance setlist for the ‘One For The Road’ tour. However, Ronan Keating told The Sun that fans can expect ‘25 songs on the setlist and only four that weren’t released as singles’. He said: ‘It’s an amazing setlist and purely for the fans. People are flying in from all over the world. It is going to be spectacular.’

For an idea of what songs we can expect, here’s an example of a setlist from the band’s ‘Thank You And Goodnight’ farewell tour in 2019 (according to Ticketmaster).
