Westlife tipped to play a ‘massive concert’ in Cork’s Páirc Uí Chaoimh in 2020

Westlife have been tipped to play a massive gig in Cork next summer.

Promoters MCD are holding a press conference on Monday about a "massive concert for 2020" that would be taking place in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. And, following rumours that the band are planning a massive world tour for 2020, many fans have begun to speculate that the headliners could be Westlife.  

It’s westlife. Apparently they said they were coming to cork.

Westlife are rumoured to be playing Cork next year but according to press release,the artist will be present on Mon morning for announcement but Westlife are playing Hyde Park Sunday night so doubt it is going to be them?

It's worth noting that the concert promoters have said the headlining act will be attending the press conference - and Westlife have a gig in London the night before. So, that may rule them out - but we're keeping our fingers crossed that's not the case. Earlier this year, an insider told RSVP Live that, following the reaction to their Twenty Tour, the band were looking to play venues in three counties next year. They explained:

"It has already been said that they are going on another tour next year, but it is going to be bigger and better than the Twenty Tour. "They are going to play in three cities in 2020; Dublin, Belfast as well as Cork. "Louis Walsh and the boys are very excited. They are overwhelmed with the response they got with this tour."
