Ronan Keating, who was born in Dublin, was 16 when he was selected from 300 candidates at a singing audition for the Boyband Boyzone in 1993. With more than 25 million records sold, as well as five albums and six number-one singles in the UK, the quartet were among the most successful boy bands. The band made a comeback time and again; in June 2026, they held two final farewell concerts in London at Arsenal FC’s Emirates Stadium.
Keating launched his successful solo career as early as 1999 with ‘When You Say Nothing At All’, which has now been streamed more than 600 times on Spotify. And just like the hit film, his debut album ‘Ronan’ went straight to number one in the UK charts, going platinum four times. On his world tour, Keating is now bringing the biggest hits of his solo career to the stage, including songs such as ‘Life Is a Rollercoaster’, ‘If Tomorrow Never Comes’ and ‘We’ve Got Tonight’. But he’s also performing songs from his Boyzone days: “All That I Need”, “No Matter What” and many more. The tour’s title, “Just Getting Started”, suggests that his concerts aren’t merely a retrospective of his career. For Ronan Keating, things are only just getting started.
