Matt & Luke Goss performed their comeback after nearly 30 years last year at two sold out O2 London Arena shows. Before that they had not played together since 77,000 packed into Wembley Stadium on 19 August 1989.

The guys will take to the stage Live at Botanic Gardens, Belfast on 27 June. Tickets go on sale this Monday at 9am from Ticketmaster and usual outlets.

They join the festival already boasting Irish sensations Picture This for 2 nights with more to be announced.

BROS have been riding high from the success of the movie BROS: After the Screaming Stops, which was a runaway Christmas success after it was shown on TV.

Propelled by their classic smash hit ‘When Will I Be Famous’, BROS ruled the world from 1987-1992. During that time, they rewrote the pop history books:

  • Bros played 19 shows at Wembley Arena
  • They were the youngest band to ever headline Wembley Stadium
  • Their debut album 'Push' was 7x Platinum
  • The album was number one in 20 countries
  • They were one of the first to have a pay per view live televised show

Since then both Matt and Luke have achieved tremendous success in their respective music and film careers.

Matt began his solo career in 1995 and since then has sold over 5 million albums, performed at his Las Vegas residency at Caesar’s Palace and now at The Mirage for over 7 years. He has headlined Wembley Arena, The Royal Albert Hall, the London Palladium and The Sydney Opera House and played at The White House.

Luke is enjoying a hugely successful acting and directing career in both film (Hellboy 2, Blade 2, The Man,Traffik, Deathrace 2&3) and TV (Red Widow and Emmy award winning mini-series Frankenstein), and more recently ‘The Last Boy’
