Prepare for the ultimate nostalgia trip, as Westlife celebrates a quarter-century of music with the Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour, as the group have announced dates in England for 2026.

The globally renowned pop group today unveiled the massive UK and European leg of their celebration, and the demand is already sky-high, following two sold-out nights at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall next week and immediate extra dates added in Belfast due to overwhelming pre-sale requests.

They will head to the Second City on October 16, 2026 for a show at the Utilita Arena, for what will be their only show in the midlands after hitting cities like Aberdeen, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield, London, Brighton, Bournemouth, Cardiff, and Manchester, before an emotional return to Belfast for five nights at the SSE Arena.

Kicking off in September 2026, the tour promises a euphoric, hit-filled setlist spanning their extraordinary 25-year career—from timeless ballads to global chart-toppers.

Speaking about the shows, the band commented: “This year marks 25 years since we started this incredible journey together and it still feels like only the beginning... We can’t wait to see you all on the road and share this next chapter together.”
