Boyzone’s Keith Duffy and Westlife’s Brian McFadden are to bring Boyzlife to Carlisle.
Boyzlife are today announcing their Old School tour across the UK, which will see the band perform new songs from their upcoming original material studio album, ‘Old School’, due on May 6, as well as classic hits from Boyzone and Westlife.
The band will stop off at The Sands Centre on October 11 as part of their UK tour.
Tickets will go on sale at 12pm on Friday.
Their tour will kick off on September 22 at Liverpool’s Philharmonic Hall, taking in 27 cities in total.
The duo will be backed by a full live band.
Of being back on the road, playing their original material for the very first time, the band says: “We cannot wait to get back on the road and this time playing Boyzlife original
material alongside all of our music over the last 25 years. The show will be a Rollacoaster through old and new songs and we cannot wait to take our fans on the ride”.
In between last year’s tour dates, Boyzlife has been busy in the studio writing and creating new music.
“Keith and I grew up in the 80s and 90s, the sound of that era is what made us want to be musicians in the first place,” said Brian.
“When we first started talking about making this record as Boyzlife’s first studio album, we naturally talked about those influences a lot and have loved bringing these familiar sounds into our studio sessions and onto this record, and cannot wait to take those songs live.”
Boyzlife was formed by long time pals Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden who previously appeared as members of ’90s and ’00s boybands Boyzone and Westlife, respectively.
With Boyzone, Keith Duffy enjoyed six UK number one singles and 16 out of 17 of their first single releases made the top five. With five number-one albums also to their credit, Boyzone achieved worldwide sales of over 25 million records.
Brian McFadden has enjoyed similar success, including 12 UK and Ireland number ones as a member of Westlife, and a record-breaking seven top spots in a row. The band also boast four number one albums and over 30 million record sales in total.
