Duncan said: “Wow, 25 years of Blue! For us, nothing is better than being face-to-face with our fans, sharing and singing the hits of the past 25 years together.
“We’ve made sure that we come to meet as many of you as possible, dedicating a mammoth 24-dates on the UK leg of our world tour, and we promise it’ll be a night you’ll never forget. For each of us boys, being on stage, and sharing that live experience with you, that’s what we live for. Come join us and let’s make incredible memories together.”
The boys released their all-new studio album, Reflections, in January, with the lead single being One Last Time. Blue are firmly established as one of Britain’s biggest pop forces of the 21st century.

Their back catalogue includes the iconic mega hits All Rise and One Love; three number-one smashes in the shape of Too Close, If You Come Back and Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (with Elton John), plus another six top-ten singles. Their first three albums all accelerated to number one and, combined with their “Best Of”, have amassed a remarkable 12 Platinum certifications in the UK alone.
The two-time BRIT Award winners (British Pop Act and British Breakthrough Act) also enjoyed success right across Europe as well as Australia, Japan and New Zealand. Blue are also riding a new wave of global success in the digital era, with both One Love and All Rise surpassing 100 million Spotify streams and explosive growth across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
With 3.75m monthly listeners and billions of social media views, their connection with fans is bigger and brighter than ever. Blue’s new UK and European headline tour dates will also be followed by a run of dates across Asia this November.
