You raise Lee up

Irish boyband sensation Westlife will play Páirc Uí Chaoimh for the first time this weekend, joined by special guest Emeli Sandé.

The shows had originally been planned for August 2020 and for August 2021 but were cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions.

All tickets purchased for those shows are still valid.

The lads are returning to the touring scene after the stunning success of 2019’s ‘Twenty Tour’ which sold a record 600,000 tickets across 27 cities and 13 countries, including two sold out shows at Croke Park.

The concert will see the group perform their greatest hits including 'Swear It Again', ‘Flying Without Wings’ and ‘You Raise Me Up’, as well as new songs from their 2019 album ‘Spectrum’.

“Headlining Páirc Uí Chaoimh for the first time ever is a dream come true for all of us. We’re incredibly excited for a show which will be different and more spectacular than anything we’ve ever done before,” said the band.

Westlife have sold over 55 million records worldwide and are the only band to have their first 7 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.

Tickets are available for Friday and Saturday’s shows are available at ticketmaster.ie from €49.50. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
