Few pop stars from the 1990s are still performing regularly on international stages more than three decades after their breakthrough. Ronan Keating is one of them. On September 27, 2027, the Irish singer will come to Dübendorf for his only Swiss concert as part of his new “Just Getting Started World Tour.” The tour takes him through Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, bringing together various chapters of his career that extend far beyond his time with Boyzone.
When Boyzone rose to become one of Europe’s most successful pop groups in the mid-1990s, Ronan Keating was the band’s most recognizable face. With songs like “No Matter What,” “Love Me For A Reason,” and “Picture Of You,” the Irish group reached an audience of millions.
Keating’s transition to a solo career was virtually seamless. With “When You Say Nothing At All,” the hit soundtrack from the movie *Notting Hill*, he established himself internationally as a solo artist. Shortly thereafter came “Life Is A Rollercoaster,” one of his most successful songs and, to this day, a staple of his repertoire.
His discography now comprises twelve studio albums. Worldwide, Ronan Keating has sold more than 20 million records as a solo artist, in addition to his successes with Boyzone.
His personal life hasn’t always been smooth sailing either. As early as 1998, Keating lost his mother, Marie, to breast cancer. Later, the family founded the Marie Keating Foundation, which continues to raise awareness to this day. In 2023, his brother Ciarán died in a car accident. While these experiences aren’t the focus of his music, they are part of the story of an artist whose career encompasses far more than his early boy band days.
With “Just Getting Started,” Ronan Keating is making a deliberate statement. While the tour celebrates three decades of music history, it doesn’t just look back. Following the successful Boyzone documentary in 2025 and the reunion concerts in 2026, the Irish singer is embarking on his biggest world tour in years. The “Just Getting Started World Tour” will take him through Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. On September 27, 2027, the tour will also stop in Dübendorf
For many concertgoers, the tour is likely to be a rare opportunity to experience several decades of pop history in a single evening. The setlist combines songs from his Boyzone days with material from his solo career. Tracks like “When You Say Nothing At All,” “Lovin’ Each Day,” “Life Is A Rollercoaster,” and “No Matter What” still hold a firm place in his live repertoire today.
That is precisely what makes this tour so appealing. The audience in 2027 is by no means limited to former Boyzone fans. Many have been following Ronan Keating as a solo artist for years, while others are discovering his music today through streaming services or the recent Boyzone documentary. The “Just Getting Started World Tour” brings these different generations together.
