Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden rise from the ashes of their former boybands to bring supergroup Boyzlife to fans across the country.
The duo, who between them have racked up more than 30 million record sales, will be performing at Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone and the Orchard Theatre in Dartford in the coming weeks.
The tour is in support of the group’s first original album, Old School, which was released earlier this year and includes the 2021 single, The One.
Keith Duffy, who was originally a member of Boyzone, and Brian McFadden, who found fame as part of Westlife, joined forces to create Boyzlife in 2016.
The pair have performed hits from their former bands’ back catalogues to more than 70,000 fans since they began, such as No Matter What, Baby Can I Hold You, Words, Flying Without Wings, You Raise Me Up and World of Our Own.
Speaking of the new tour, the group said: “We cannot wait to get back on the road, and this time playing Boyzlife original material alongside all of our music over the last 25 years.
“The show will be a roller coaster through old and new songs, and we cannot wait to take our fans on the ride.”
Boyzone, whose original members were Mikey Graham, Stephen Gately, Shane Lynch, Ronan Keating and, of course, Keith Duffy, achieved six UK No. 1 singles and 21 UK Top 40 singles.
Westlife, who formed five years later in 1998, consisted of band members Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Shane Filan and Brian McFadden, who left the original line-up in 2004.
During their career, the band has sold more than 13 million albums and 10 million singles, and are one of the best-selling boybands of all time.
Boyzlife will be at Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone on Saturday, October 22. Book tickets here.
The group will also be at the Orchard Theatre in Dartford on Sunday, October 30. Book tickets here.
