The Blue boys are back in town!
Simon Webbe, Duncan James, Antony Costa and Lee Ryan are ready to make new memories with the news that they will release their all-new studio album ‘Reflections’ on January 9th 2026 – the first taste of which comes with new single ‘One Last Time’. And they will be back in a town near you, too, with the confirmation of a world tour including an extensive UK leg in April 2026. Blue are firmly established as one of Britain’s biggest pop forces of the 21st century.
Just look at their catalogue: the iconic mega hits ‘All Rise’ and ‘One Love’, three #1 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 10 singles.
Their first three albums all accelerated to #1 and, combined with their ‘Best Of’, have amassed a remarkable 12 x 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 & 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.
