From jungle to forest for Westlife’s Kian

One quarter of the Irish boy band Westlife, the most successful boy band of the last decade, Kian was crowned King of the Jungle when he won hit TV show I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! last year.

His debut solo album, ‘Home’ has already been released this year and is currently enjoying chart success with a Top 10 release in both the UK and Ireland.

Kian will appear at four Forest Live gigs with Boyzone, including a date at Sherwood Pines on Thursday, 12th June.

Commenting on his special guest slot, Kian said: “I am really looking forward to these gigs and of course it’s going to be a lot of fun to be out on tour with the boys!”

Boyzone are recognised as one of the most successful bands of the past two decades.
