Westlife
Pop royalty Westlife celebrate their triumphant return to the top of the charts with the announcement of their first live concerts in two years, including a stop at the Echo Arena on Friday 7 May 2010.
Revered for their spectacular live shows, created with visionary William Baker (Kylie, Leona, Bjork) Westlife are thrilled to be returning to the stage two years since their last concert tour. The show will include fan favourites, the band's biggest hits and brand new tracks taken from their first new album in two years, ‘Where We Are'.
Westlife are among the world's most prolific touring acts, with eight sell out world tours already under their belts. Their most recent concert tour, 2008's ‘Back Home Tour' visited arenas across the UK and New Zealand, culminating in stadium shows in Ireland, including a sell out show at the legendary Croke Park in Dublin. On the show's arrival at London's Wembley Arena, it was declared that the boys had sold more tickets at the venue than any other act and had played a record number of dates there, an amazing 25.
The tour will support the band's brand new album ‘Where We Are', which was recorded during much of 2009 in studios across Europe and the US. The record features work from pop's finest craftsmen, including grammy nominated Ryan Tedder (Leona Lewis, Beyonce) Steve Robson (James Morrison, Take That) Steve Booker (Duffy) Louis Biancaniello and Sam Watters (Whitney Houston, Anastacia.) and Shaznay Lewis, who co-writes a track with band member Mark Feehily.
No pop band can compare to Westlife's extraordinary success. During their 11 years at the top of pop's hierarchy, the band has sold over 40 million records globally. In the UK alone they have scored nine multi-platinum albums and a record breaking 14 No.1 hits (behind only Elvis and The Beatles).
