90s babies are internally (and let’s face it, probably externally) screaming after Boyzone announced their support acts for their upcoming reunion gigs.
The band – Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Shane Lynch, and Keith Duffy – will once again perform together at Emirates Stadium in London on June 5 and 6.
The lads last performed together in 2019, during their Thank You and Goodnight farewell shows, but now, Boyzone fans are indeed in for a hooley once more.

It’s been announced that the now-five-strong 90s group, S Club, will get the crowd warmed up in Emirates Stadium on Friday, June 5.
But the following night is set to be a family affair, as B*Witched are set to enchant fans by taking to the stage ahead of Ronan, Mikey, Shane, and Keith.
The four-strong girlband, of whom two are twins Edele and Keavy Lynch, the sisters of Shane Lynch, sweetly called it a ‘full-circle moment’.

‘The first support we did back in 1997 was the boys, can you believe that,’ B*Witched wrote, sharing a throwback clip and a sweet photo of siblings Edele, Shane, and Keavy. ‘Full circle moment over here… and family reunion for the Lynchs!’
Ceol Lynch, Edele’s daughter, who is racing towards her own success in a career in motorsport, previously spoke to EVOKE about having a B*Witched mum and aunt, and a Boyzone uncle.
To Ceol, they’re her family members, but the reality of their fame hits when she sees them rubbing shoulders with the stars. ‘You tend to forget until you see her [Edele] hug Ant and Dec and the reality of their popularity comes back,’ she joked.

Boyzone’s reunion gigs are a point of contention for some fans, after Ronan, Mikey, Shane, and Keith decided to hold their ‘world exclusive headline show’ in the UK, instead of in Ireland, where they’re all from.
At the time, gutted fans said it wasn’t ‘good enough,’ and it was ‘ridiculous’ not to do a gig in Ireland.
We’re still holding out hope that the lads will gig for us on home soil. One can only dream!
