Blue: 25th Anniversary Tour

Blue are playing Windsor Hall at the Bournemouth International Centre on Wednesday 8 April, as part of their 25th anniversary tour. The full line-up is Simon Webbe, Duncan James, Antony Costa and Lee Ryan, the same four who have been together since the start.

It's a double-bill night, so the main act isn't the only thing on the bill. Mina opens from 7:30 to 7:55, followed by 911 from 7:55 to 8:30, with Blue taking over after that. The tour marks 25 years since they first came together, and it's running alongside their new studio album, Reflections, which came out on 9 January 2026 and was led by the single 'One Last Time'.

If you're coming for the older songs, there's plenty to draw on. They're known for 'All Rise' and 'One Love', and they've had three number-one singles: 'Too Close', 'If You Come Back' and 'Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word', the last one recorded with Elton John. Their first three albums all hit number one, and between those and their Best Of, they've picked up 12 x Platinum certifications in the UK. They've also won two BRIT Awards, named British Pop Act and British Breakthrough Act.

Now in their 50s, the band still perform the dance routines that went with the songs when they first came out. Doors open at 7:00, and tickets start from £67.
