Ronan Keating brings 2027 world tour to Scarborough Open Air Theatre with Blue

The chart-topper will perform at the Open Air Theatre on Sunday July 18 as part of his Just Getting Started World Tour, which will see him bring his catalogue of Boyzone classics and global solo hits to audiences worldwide.

Ronan will be joined on the night by Blue and the Germein Sisters.

Tickets for this unmissable date go on general sale via ticketmaster.co.uk scarboroughopenairtheatre.com at 10am on Friday September 25.

The Just Getting Started World Tour celebrates the songs, stories and moments that have made Ronan one of the world’s most enduring entertainers, bringing the hits audiences have loved for decades into a new chapter, with fresh energy, renewed passion and the perspective of an artist who knows himself better than ever.

Looking ahead to the tour, Ronan - who headlined Scarborough OAT with Boyzone in 2014 and 2015 - 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 Boyzone and a highly successful solo career that escalated Ronan to a household name around the world, Ronan has sold more than 45 million records globally, spanning a catalogue of 21 albums.

His first solo album, Ronan, went straight to No.1 in the UK achieving 4 x Platinum status and spent over a year in the charts (63 weeks).

While his album, 10 Years of Hits, not only went straight to No. 1 but as of today, has surpassed 2 billion streams.

With endless No.1 singles and albums to his name, plus a Guinness World Record for having 30 consecutive UK Top 10 singles, surpassing the previous benchmark set by Elvis Presley, Ronan has established himself as one of the most commercially successful Irish artists of his generation.

Blue are not only celebrating more than 25 years in the business, which has seen them consistently regarded as one of the UK’s best pop bands, but truly being back at the top of their game.

This year saw the double BRIT Award winner’s release Reflections – the band’s stunning fourth studio album to hit the UK Top 5.

With Reflections, Blue’s founder members Antony Costa, Duncan James, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe are doing just that: reflecting on their shared history, their partnership, their friendship.

On their passion for their band that means all four original members are still standing strong.

Opening the night at Scarborough OAT will be Australian pop trio Germein Sisters.

Julian Murray of promoters Cuffe and Taylor, venue programmers at Scarborough OAT, said: “This is going to be a great night here at Scarborough OAT as we bring two of British pop music's favourite artists together.

“It is a very welcome return for Ronan Keating, who twice headlined Scarborough OAT with Boyzone in 2014 and 2015 and it will be a sensational debut appearance for Blue.

"This will be an incredibly popular announcement and we would advise fans to get their tickets early!”

Ronan Keating joins Jack Savoretti, James Morrison and Simply Red among the first 2027 headliners announced for Scarborough OAT – the UK’s biggest purpose-built open air concert arena.
