The announcement marks the first time all four members – ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch, and Mikey Graham – will be in the same room in nearly seven years, following a brief run of shows at the London Palladium in 2019.While Mikey Graham was absent from today’s press conference due to personal reasons, his bandmates assured fans he will be present for the highly anticipated performance.
“Mikey apologises for not being here today in person for personal reasons. We’ll see him soon, and he will be there on the night,” Keating explained.
However, the biggest news came when questioned about Walsh’s role in the reunion. Keating was direct: “No. Louis hasn’t been involved in Boyzone for a very long time, before the documentary, even well before the documentary.We stopped talking to him.” The band members shared a laugh when asked if Walsh would be receiving a cut of the profits.
Lynch, who has previously acknowledged disagreements with his bandmates, added a note of respect for Walsh, stating, “Louis, he was the beginning of the band at least… But we have moved on.”

Keating emphasized that this time around, they are “the ones in the driving seat… We’re doing on our terms.” He also clarified that this is intended to be a singular event. “It’s not gonna go further than the show. This is it,” he stated, adding, “We didn’t get to celebrate the 90s at all.We didn’t get to enjoy our success… we’re going to go out on a high.”
