Its 2am and there is no other place to go…
The iconic (and only) Karaoke bar in Palmerston North has just been sold!

What will happen to the late-night drinks, the chicken wings and the best Karaoke this side of the Manawatū River? The new owners are out-of-towners and the words “Asian Fusion restaurant” are muttered – the community is faced with some burning questions: Is this the end of their “community” as we know it? What will happen to the Annual Karaoke Competition? And why are the floors still so sticky?

A comedic rollercoaster that is a love letter to the magic of karaoke, the warmth of the Palmy community and the haziness of late-night shenanigans

Will “Wagon Wheel” ever be sung again? Will the lads ever sing “Mr Brightside” aloud at 2am? Who will hand out the lollipops now?!

Boyzlife, the musical supergroup formed by Brian McFadden of Westlife and Keith Duffy of Boyzone, are thrilled to announce their upcoming tour to New Zealand in 2025. Experience an unforgettable evening of revered anthems that defined the 1990s and 2000s including “My Love”, “World of Our Own”, “Swear It Again”, “Uptown Girl”, “If I Let You Go”, “Picture of You”, “No Matter What”, “Words”, “Baby Can I Hold You” and many more esteemed Westlife and Boyzone hits.

When Boyzlife first hit the road, combining their talents to perform hits from both of their former bands as well as new material, they never imagined that six years later they would be playing to thousands of fans worldwide.

As members of two of the most successful boy bands of all time, having collectively sold over 55 million records worldwide and racked up a whopping 17 Number One singles in the UK, Keith and Brian have plenty of stories to tell!

“The whole concept of the band at the start was that we wanted to do an autobiographical show,” says Keith. "We wanted to tell our life experiences through the music rather than write it in a book. So we created Boyzlife! Now our collaboration brings together the nostalgic appeal of Boyzone and Westlife, together with an amazing live show.”

Boyzlife has continued to tour extensively, adding new music, never-before-heard stories and experiences to their iconic catalogue while playing to audiences all over the world, performing to hundreds of thousands of fans in the process.

With their unique blend of nostalgia and high-energy performances, Boyzlife is set to bring joy and entertainment to their fans down under.
