Ronan Keating and Blue are bringing the ultimate Noughties throwback to Lincoln Castle

The pop icon is celebrating an extraordinary 30 years in music with a set packed full of Boyzone favourites and solo hits

If your ideal summer night involves belting out Life Is a Rollercoaster, reliving the glory days of Boyzone and soaking up live music beneath the walls of a medieval castle, then clear your diary now.

Pop icon Ronan Keating is bringing his Just Getting Started World Tour to Lincoln Castle on June 17, 2027, celebrating an extraordinary 30 years in music with a set packed full of Boyzone favourites and solo hits.

And as if that wasn’t enough Nineties and Noughties nostalgia for one evening, chart-topping boyband Blue will also join the bill, while Australian trio Germein Sisters open the show.

The Lincoln date forms part of a worldwide tour marking Keating’s three-decade career, during which he’s sold more than 45 million records, racked up countless chart hits and become one of Ireland’s most successful music exports.

Fans can expect all the big singalong moments alongside stories from across his career as the singer celebrates what he describes as an exciting new chapter.

Speaking ahead of the tour, Keating said he feels “creatively energised” and wants to revisit the songs that have defined his career in a way that feels fresh for audiences.
