    Boyzone to reunitie for biggest show yet in 2026

    The group — starring Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham — will take to the stage at London’s Emirates Stadium on Saturday, 6 June 2026, for a night they promise will be “a celebration of the fans, the music, and the memories.”

Róisín Murphy: ‘It’s strange to be on-trend with new disco album’

Róisín Murphy is surprised to find herself in the mainstream with her disco-oriented new album Róisín Machine.

The star releases her fifth album on Friday and the record has already received rave reviews for its on-trend disco sound. Sonically, the album is in-line with upcoming releases from the likes of Kylie Minogue and Melanie C, and no-one’s as surprised by its appeal as the singer herself.

When asked whether it feels strange, she tells the Official Charts Company: “It does actually, yes! It’s particularly annoying to be shoved in with lots of other girl singers. I don’t feel like them. I feel like it comes out of clubbing all my life, since I was 15.

“You know what, it’s nice to be on-trend for once, though it’d be lovely if there were some f**king clubs open,” she adds, amid the current lockdown. “I’d be murdering it; I’d be in every club going playing every remix – some of those remix packages Barratt is doing are stories unto themselves and it’d be lovely if they were in the clubs.”

However, Róisín is confident the lack of open venues won’t hurt her success, sharing: “I think the album still works, though – there’s such a soulful, solid base to this record that it works outside of the club.

“(Latest single) Something More really works like that – it’s Balearic, but it doesn’t have to be 9 o’clock in the morning after you’ve been raving, though that would be nice,” she explains.

“It’s got a feeling you can play it in your garden, in your car, you can certainly exercise to it – there’s various ways you can absorb it. It’s seamlessly put together, but you can also listen to the tracks individually, I have no problem with that.

“I mean, it’s full of singles anyway,” Róisín reflects of the record. “It’s very modern in a way.”
