Boyzone press shot
Boyzone have announced S Club and BWitched as the support acts for their “farewell” gigs in London this Summer.
The four-piece are performing two dates at the Emirates Stadium on Friday, June 5 and Saturday, June 6 under the moniker ‘Two For The Road’, which will feature their biggest hits from the last three decades.
All 44,000 tickets have sold out for the Saturday show, which will see Irish girlband BWitched – featuring Shane Lynch’s younger sisters Edele and Keavy – take to the stage first.
“We are delighted to be special guests to Boyzone at Emirates Stadium on the 6th June,” said Edele. “This feels like a full circle for us as we supported them back in 1997 for our very first arena show. It’s such an honour to be sharing a stage again and obviously it’s extra special to be joining our brother Shane.
“We plan on putting on a great show with all our hits from back in the day including ‘C’est La Vie’, ‘Rollercoaster’, and ‘Blame It On The Weatherman’… but also some new music too with our new EP featuring our single ‘Firefly’ out soon! B*Witched fans you won’t want to miss this and Boyzone fans we will give you a treat. See you there!”
The Friday gig, for which some tickets are still remaining, will include a fresh reunion of S Club, now comprised of Jo O’Meara, Rachel Stevens, Tina Barrett, Bradley McIntosh and Jon Lee.
“The rumours are true!” the band said in a joint statement. “We are thrilled to be joining Boyzone’s biggest ever headline show, One For the Road: Live At Emirates Stadium on Friday June 5th.
“It’s going to be a special night for the lads and we’re going to be getting the party started and taking you all the way back to 1999, so come along and join us… because there ain’t no party like an S Club party!”
Both nights will also feature a DJ set from Radio 2’s Scott Mills.
