The Voice might be winding up for another year, but coach Ronan Keating isn’t slowing down any time soon.

The acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter, who has sold more than 45 million records worldwide, has announced his Just Getting Started world tour, which kicks off in Perth next March.

“(My wife) Storm and I have particularly fond memories of Perth — I have performed there a lot over the years, and people have always been so relaxed and friendly,” says Keating, who was last in the State for Telethon in 2025.

“I love the feel of a small town in a big city, and Perth has that — it has it all.

“We have made some very special memories in WA, and I can’t wait to get back. “

It’s been another busy year for Keating and his family, which includes Aussie-born Storm and their two children, Cooper and Coco (Keating also has three grown-up children with first wife, Yvonne Connolly).

The young family have been accompanying Keating on a European tour, and were by his side when he reunited with his Boyzone bandmates for sold-out shows in London in June.

Earlier this year, they spent several months in Australia while The Voice was filming.

“The kids are in public school when we are here,” says Keating, adding he has relished his time in Australia in the past two years.

“I went into the classroom as a parent helper.

“I was reading with the table, and I introduced myself to Coco’s friends, saying, ‘Hi everybody, I am Coco’s daddy,’ and Coco says, ‘. . . from The Voice.’

“I started laughing, and I said, ‘I am just Coco’s daddy,’ but she kept saying, ‘from The Voice!’ and it was the cutest thing ever, the way she said it under her breath.”

The family have spent so much time in Australia in the past two years, little Coco has developed something of an Aussie twang, though Keating admits that could be down to the amount of Bluey they watch together.

“All the kids who watched the Power Rangers when they were growing up, they all had these American accents, but these days all the kids watch Bluey, and they all have Aussie accents!” he laughs.

“But I love it — and I love that show!

“I have watched every single episode of Bluey, and it’s my favourite thing ever!”

Keating’s life on the road might be hectic, but all these years on from his first taste of stardom as a teenager in Boyzone, he still adores everything about his chosen career — including the touring.

“That is what I love to do. It’s my favourite thing, to be on stage and to perform — it’s all I have done since I was 16 years old,” he admits.

“I can’t wait to get out there again and bring back my arena show to Oz — it’s been over 20 years since I’ve taken a show of this size.

“Australia has become a part of me, and so performing for the Aussies feels like performing for a home crowd, and I can’t wait to reconnect with everyone again out on tour.”

In the meantime, his focus is squarely on this final week of The Voice, which wraps for another year on Sunday night.

He’s thoroughly enjoyed his time with the show this year, and has no regrets about interrupting his busy year to unearth this latest crop of sensational talent, including Team Ronan hopefuls The 60Four.

“Returning to the show was a no-brainer,” he admits.

“The other coaches are my favourite bunch of coaches I have ever worked with, around the world.

“We are all friends outside of the show, and we go out together, and our families get together, so it’s been really lovely.”

That said, when the chips are down, The Voice is still a competition, and rest assured Keating will be fighting for The 60Four right to the end.

“When we are in the chairs, we are all professionals with what we do,” he says.

“We all have massive egos, so when it comes to the competition, it’s real.”

The Voice grand finale airs on September 27 at 7pm on Seven and 7Plus. Ronan Keating plays Perth HPC on March 11, 2027. Tickets from Ticketmaster (presale available from September 22, general sale from September 24).
