JUST days after Ronan Keating played a sell-out show at the Royal Concert Hall, it's been announced he'll be back in the city next year with Boyzone.

The Brother Tour comes to the Trent FM Arena on Thursday March 3, the group's first date in Nottingham since the death of Stephen Gately in December.

"There was a time there when the lads and I didn't know whether we would ever get back up on stage together again - we just didn't know if we could do it as a four-piece," says Keating.

"We played three tracks live at the Albert Hall a couple of weeks ago and the reception was just unbelievable. We all came off stage buzzing, knowing that we had the full support of the fans and it all just suddenly felt so right. We can't wait to get back on the road together."

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Thursday priced at £35.50 (plus booking fee).

They will be available from the box office, 08444 124 624, www.trentfmarena.com
