About the event
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.
