The group made up of Nicky Byrne, Mark Feehily, Shane Filan and Kian Egan are set to play their first Dublin indoor shows in over eleven years on 20 and 21 December. Due to demand, they have now added 22 December as their third date, with tickets on sale now.
Last summer, the band played sold-out Irish, UK and European shows which included Wembley Stadium, as well as two nights at both Aviva Stadium and Páirc Uí Chaoimh. The remainder of the tour will expand into Asia later this year followed by a full run of UK arena dates.

Last year the band released their 12th album, Wild Dreams. At the time of release, they said, “This album means more to us than anything we have done before and has been inspired by the challenges we’ve all overcome over the last 18 months. The maze of emotions we all experienced during the pandemic drew us to songwriting and has helped us create a really special album that we have everything we love in music – it’s got fresh feel-good uptempo tracks like Starlight as well as powerful, heartfelt ballads such as Always With Me.
“Wild Dreams captures the mood of the moment. The album also offers moments of reflection and is about new beginnings, hope and looking to the future. The music is so relevant to now. It is uplifting stuff and cannot wait for the fans to hear it,” say the band.

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 scored 33 No.1 albums worldwide and as a live act have sold 5 million concert tickets worldwide and counting. Westlife’s Twenty Tour sold a record 600,000 tickets across 27 cities and 13 countries, including two sold out shows at Croke Park, Dublin (150,000 tickets) and 160,00 tickets across their Dublin and Cork Wild Dreams tour.
