WORDS can't describe what the announcement of Boyzone's final gig means to fans, but No Matter What, it is going to be bittersweet.
Boyzone's farewell show is not to be missed, so here is all the information fans will need for the naughties musical spectacular.
When is Boyzone's 2026 Emirates Stadium show?
Boyband fans were caught by surprise on September 30, when Boyzone announced a one-off gig at the Emirates Stadium next year.
The event, entitled One For The Road, will take place at the Arsenal football ground on Saturday 6 June 2026.
Frontman Ronan Keating described the stadium gig – the first and biggest of their career – as a "final farewell" for the 1990s boyband.
Their hits became the anthem for many 30, 40 and even 50-year-olds during their youths, and so the gig truly marks the end of an era for music fans.
Keating told BBC Breakfast on Tuesday: "We're not making new music, it's not a reunion. There's plenty of bands out there doing that.
"Everybody has been part of Boyzone's journey, this story they've shared, they've cried with us, they've laughed with us through the documentary."
He added: "And now, to get to Emirates together, all of us, and say our final farewell the way we want to do it, will be pretty powerful."
Fellow singer Shane Lynch admitted he had previously thought the group, which also includes Keith Duffy and Mikey Graham, would "definitely not share a stage again."
Duffy confirmed that it is "not going to be a tour." He added: "It's a celebration, it's the final chapter, it's us boys, one last time on stage together."

When did Boyzone last tour?
The Louis-Walsh-founded Irish boy band broke onto the scene in 1993, and initially had a few configurations before forming as a five, made up of Duffy, Stephen Gately, Graham, Keating, and Lynch.
During their career they achieved, Brit Award-winners Boyzone scored six UK number one singles, but suffered tragedy along the way with the death of bandmate Gately in 2009, aged 33.
The farewell show in 2026 will not be the first time the band have returned to the stage after a hiatus, after they performed a five-night run at the London Palladium in 2019.
Boyzone have never been far from our screens though in the meantime, with the recent broadcast of their documentary Boyzone: No Matter What.
The documentary chronicled the highs and lows of fame, but most of all gave fans are chance to reminisce about their formative years.
And now the boys have given fans what they've craved – a chance to relive the old days.
