As Boyzone basks in the glory of their hugely successful reunion and comeback over the past few years, fans are excitedly wondering what lies ahead for the iconic boyband. After re-establishing themselves as a potent musical force and reminding the world of their talents, where will the five lads from Ireland go next on their career journey? While nothing is set in stone yet, there are plenty of intriguing possibilities on the horizon for Boyzone's next chapter.
One of the most obvious next steps is new music from the band. Their comeback albums and singles have proven there is still an rabid appetite for fresh Boyzone tracks that recapture their classic sound while incorporating modern sensibilities. The quintet showed they can still craft wildly catchy pop/rock hits during this reunion run. You can be sure they are already workshopping ideas and hooking up new writing/production collaborations for potential future releases - whether that means one more big album push, a steady stream of new singles, or even an ambitious triple-album project. As long as the creative juices keep flowing, expect more new tunes from Ronan, Keith, Michael, Shane and Stephen.
Of course, the lifeblood of any major reunion is the tour - and Boyzone showed they can still draw massive crowds and give the kind of high-energy shows their fans demand. Their recent comeback tours were wildly successful by all accounts. So it's probable they will want to strike while the iron is hot and put together one more massive worldwide tour effort. Hitting the road again, especially for a extended run branded as a "farewell" tour, could be a hugely lucrative way to ride off into the sunset while giving diehard followers one last chance to see them live.
Don't be surprised if Boyzone gets the touring itch again soon.
In between any more group projects, fans should also anticipate the members pursuing some solo creative endeavors outside of Boyzone as well. A few of the guys have dabbled in acting over the years, so perhaps we'll see some film, TV or stage roles crop up. The members are also heavily involved in philanthropic efforts, so their schedule could include things like international charity work or social activism campaigns. And surely a solo musical side project or two can't be ruled out - whether it's a Ronan Keating solo album, Keith Duffy putting out a passion project record, or one of the others lending their vocals to a unique collaboration. The guys have more than just Boyzone occupying their interests these days.
Most importantly in terms of their legacy and cultural impact, the Boyzone comeback has permanently solidified their place among the elite ranks of boybands and Irish music icons. Twenty-plus years after their rise, they've proven they aren't a nostalgia act - they are a treasured, enduring musical force. Moving forward, you can count on Boyzone to continue having a ubiquitous presence and influence, even during their downtime between reunions and releases. Documentaries, biographical projects, celebrated anniversary events, lifetime achievement awards - all of these could be on the docket as the world continues to enshrine Boyzone's iconic status.
No matter what specific shape their future musical and cultural Impact takes, it's clear Boyzone still has plenty of gas left in their tank.
The world hasn't seen the last of this beloved Irish brotherhood of a band.
