WESTLIFE announce Stadium show at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Cork on Friday 28th August 2020

Ireland and the UK’s top-selling album group of the 21st century, Westlife, today announce that they will perform their first-ever Páirc Uí Chaoimh Stadium show on Friday 28 August 2020, subject to licence. 

It follows the stunning success of this summer’s ‘Twenty Tour’ which sold a record 600,000 tickets across 27 cities and 13 countries, including two, sold-out shows at Croke Park, Dublin (140,000 tickets). Tickets from €59.50 including booking fee go on sale this Friday 20 September at 9 AM.

Shane, Nicky, Mark and Kian confirmed the news in Cork this morning at a media conference. The spectacular concert will see the global pop kings perform their greatest hits including ‘Swear It Again’, ‘Flying Without Wings’ and ‘You Raise Me Up’ as well as sensational uptempo new songs from their forthcoming album ‘Spectrum’ such as ‘Hello My Love’, ‘Better Man’ and ‘Dynamite’.

It will be the first time, in the band’s 20-year career, that Westlife have headlined Páirc Uí Chaoimh Stadium and follows the phenomenal success of their comeback which has seen the nation fall in love with the Irish superstars all over again.

Westlife fever captured Ireland and the UK this summer with the release of hit new music and their fastest-selling tour of all time. “Headlining Páirc Uí Chaoimh for the first time ever is a dream come true for all of us. We’re incredibly excited for a show which will be different and more spectacular than anything we’ve ever done before”, say the band.

Last Friday, Westlife announced they will headline Wembley Stadium, London, UK on 22 August, making them the second only Irish act alongside U2 to achieve this.

Westlife have sold over 55 million records worldwide and are the only band to have their first 7 singles enter the UK chart at No.1. They also have the most singles of any artist to debut at No.1 in the UK. Overall the band have had an incredible 14 No.1 singles, behind only Elvis Presley and The Beatles. They have had 33 No.1 albums worldwide.

As a live act Westlife have sold over 5 million concert tickets worldwide.

Tickets for Westlife go on-sale this Friday 20 September 2019 9AM.

Westlife’s new album, ‘Spectrum’, co-written by Ed Sheeran, will be released on Friday 15 November.
