We’re so excited!

Last October Westlife delighted fans by announcing that they will be going on a world tour in 2022.

Westlife’s Irish shows in Dublin and Cork are fast approaching but until today ticketholders had no idea who the support acts would be, but now we do and now we’re double excited!

Today Westlife announced their very special guests for their stadium shows in Dublin and Cork this summer.

The special guests for Westlife at Aviva Stadium on Friday the 8th of July and Saturday the 9th of July are Sugababes and Soulé.

For their Cork performances Emeli Sandé and Wild Youth will join Westlife as special guests at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Friday the 12th of August and Saturday the 13th of August.

I honestly don’t know which lineup I’d want to see more as both sets of special guests sound amazing.

Westlife have sold more than 55 million records worldwide and are the only band to have had their first seven 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 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).
