Boyzone fans were over the moon when the band announced a reunion concert for 2026 - but the latest development has divided fans.
Ronan Keating and co. revealed they were reuniting for a concert at the Emirates Stadium in London on Saturday, June 6.
Unsurprisingly, tickets sold very quickly even though the Emirates Stadium has a capacity of 60,074 people, so they've only gone and added a second date.
Most fans are over the moon about the reunion, but some are miffed that the new date is a day before the original, on Friday June 5, having already snapped up tickets in the presale.
"This is bad. We have bought tickets for the Saturday show to see them perform together for the first time in years! If you are going [to] add extra it should be the day after! So disappointed," wrote one.
They added: "I wanted to see their reactions coming out for the first time."

Long-awaited Boyzone reunion
Good things come to those who wait, as fans had been patiently hoping that Ronan will join Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham, and Shane Lynch to perform as Boyzone since 2019.
Ronan, of course, has his successful solo career, and Keith teamed up with Bryan McFadden of Westlife for Boyzlife, but this is a thrill for fans of the original Boyzone.
The news of these special shows follows the release of the three-part documentary series Boyzone: No Matter What last year.
They clocked up six number one singles and five number one albums over their career, so you know this will be a set packed full of greatest hits.
Fans are particularly excited that Mikey Graham has returned for these dates, after he said in the documentary: “I wish them the absolute best in their lives, I wish them nothing but happiness. I hold no grudges, no animosity, nothing."
“However, I don’t want to go back to how I felt for many years."
“To see them for too long would remind me of that and my future is way too important to me to waste it looking back on my past.”
It seems he's had a change of heart, and has confirmed he will perform for these two special concerts.
