EDINBURGH is set to play host to a Boyzone-Westlife supergroup, featuring two members from the defining 90s and 00s boybands.
Boyzlife, comprised of Boyzone’s Keith Duffy and Westlife’s Brian McFadden, will visit the Scottish capital’s Usher Hall as part of their 2026 UK-wide tour.
The duo will be performing a mixture of the two bands’ classic tracks on the 24-date tour, as well as their own original music.
The tour, which follows the pair’s 2025 UK tour and upcoming world tour, will run throughout February and March next year and will also visit Cardiff, Liverpool and more.
The pair will visit Edinburgh on 28 February 2026 as part of a total of 24 dates across the UK.
The boyband culture of the 90s appears to be back in the public conscience following the release of documentaries including Boyband Forever (BBC) and Boyzone: No Matter What (Sky), alongside Robbie Williams’ biopic Better Man.
Boyzlife came to fruition in 2016, when both Duffy and McFadden had left their respective groups.
Their shows first started as autobiographical ones, as the pair shared stories from their times in Boyzone and Westlife, with several of each band’s biggest hits littered throughout.
The high demand from fans for more shows with more music led to Boyzlife touring a show showcasing the music from Duffy and McFadden’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, McFadden 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, before Brian went on to achieve solo success after Westlife, securing a UK number one with Real To Me.
Duffy 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.
On their 2026 tour, Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to announce our 2026 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.
“Brace yourselves for more unforgettable nights filled with music, laughter, and possibly some special guests joining us along the way. Can’t wait to see you all in 2026.”
