Pop icon Ronan Keating is bringing his world tour to Wales next summer with two special shows celebrating his 30-year career.
The chart-topper will perform at Live at Llangollen Pavilion 2027 on Thursday 1 July before heading to the Welsh capital for Depot Live at Cardiff Castle on Friday 9 July.
The two dates form part of Keating’s Just Getting Started World Tour, which will see him perform a catalogue spanning Boyzone classics and hits from his successful solo career.
He will be joined at both Welsh shows by British pop group Blue and Australian trio Germein Sisters.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday 25 September via Depot Live, Llangollen and Ticketmaster.
The Just Getting Started World Tour will celebrate the songs, stories and moments from Keating’s career while marking what he describes as a new chapter.
Looking ahead to the tour, Ronan said: “I’ve been incredibly lucky to have spent more than three decades doing what I love. I’ve travelled the world, made records I’m enormously proud of and, most importantly, had audiences singing those songs back to me night after night.
“The reason I’ve called this tour Just Getting Started is because I genuinely feel I’m entering a new chapter. I understand myself, my music and what I want to say more clearly than ever before, and I want to celebrate these songs with audiences in a way that feels fresh. I feel creatively energised, deeply grateful and more connected to what I do than ever, and I can’t wait to share that with people around the world.”
Across his time with Boyzone and his solo career, Keating has sold more than 45 million records globally across a catalogue spanning 21 albums.
His debut solo album, Ronan, reached number one in the UK, achieved four-times Platinum status and spent 63 weeks in the charts.
His 10 Years Of Hits collection also went straight to number one and has since surpassed two billion streams.
Keating also holds a Guinness World Record for achieving 30 consecutive UK Top 10 singles, surpassing the previous benchmark set by Elvis Presley.
Joining him in Cardiff and Llangollen will be Blue, who are celebrating more than 25 years together.
The double BRIT Award winners recently released Reflections, their fourth studio album to reach the UK Top Five.
The group’s original line-up of Antony Costa, Duncan James, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe remain together more than two decades after their breakthrough.
Their career includes three consecutive UK number one albums, All Rise, One Love and Guilty, alongside 11 Top 10 singles.
Their hits include number ones Too Close, If You Came Back and Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word with Elton John, as well as One Love and All Rise.
Blue have also won two BRIT Awards, taking British Breakthrough Act in 2002 and British Pop Act in 2003.
Opening both Welsh shows will be Australian pop trio Germein Sisters.
