‘I cried, I sang my heart out to every song and had the night of my life,’ said one delighted fan
Westlife have embarked on their 25th anniversary tour and have been getting rave reviews from fans who were at the shows.
The concerts have been hailed as “absolutely phenomenal” with “all the hits”. One fan said that “the sound and voices were as good if not better than when we saw the group in the 90s”.
Furthermore, although tickets for many of the forthcoming shows are thin on the ground, there are a few reasonably priced VIP and hospitality tickets available to help make the night with extra special.
There are still a few official tickets available via official retailer Ticketmaster here. However, all the concerts have low or limited availability until the three Co-op Live shows in Manchester on Friday, October 23, Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25.
There is very limited availability for this package which includes access to the Adidas Suite, close to the stage, with premium cushioned balcony seats, a private bar and a suite attendant to look after you all.
Westlife fans have been bowled over by the band’s performances. One review reads: “Amazing evening. The lasers brought the arena to life along with Westlife themselves. The performance was absolutely phenomenal and made my year seeing them perform.”
Another diehard lifelong fan who has seen the band many times, said: “This had to be the best one by far.
“I cried, I sang my heart out to every song and had the night of my life. If you are attending, be sure to take tissues as you will need them.”
One fan said: “What an absolutely amazing show, and performance, by the one and only Westlife! It was an unforgettable night! Absolutely loved it, and they are as good as ever before.”
That said, one concert-goer was annoyed by other fans who were “in and out of their seats constantly and blocking the views for others”.
However, the vast majority of fans have been having a fantastic time at recent Westfield shows. One mum who went with her daughter, sister and two nieces, making it a real family affair, said: “We sang, we danced and we cried.”
Westlife said: “This year marks 25 years since we started this incredible journey together and it still feels like only the beginning. The support from our fans has been unbelievable, and to celebrate with this world tour, new music, and a brand-new album feels truly special. We can’t wait to see you all on the road and share this next chapter together.”
After the Manchester shows, the tour will head to the O2 in Belfast, then the Utilita Arena, Sheffield, P&J Live in Aberdeen, then back to Belfast. The tour schedule can be seen here.
