The singer, who first shot to fame on ITV's Pop Idol in 2002, will be joined by a cast of 'ripped and ridiculously talented performers for the ultimate throwback concert'.
Promoters promise it'll be a night when there's 'so much going on, and coming off'.
They say: 'With nothing but harmonies, dance moves, and a whole lot of skin, the boys belt out the biggest hits of the 90s and 00s, from Backstreet Boys to NSYNC, Blue to Take That, in a show that's as nostalgic as it is naughty.'
In an Instagram post, Gareth told fans: 'I cannot wait to join the cast of Boyband in the Buff! Touring the whole of the UK throughout 2026. Click the link in my bio for the tour list.

Gareth became a household name after reaching a respectable second place in the first series of Pop Idol.

"My parents always used to listen to them so it's been drummed into me as a child.
"And then I've done a few shows in the past, which has been based around the music, so to produce my own version of the show is great."
