About this concert
Westlife are back with The Twenty Tour celebrating 20 years of hits including 14 No.1s.
Following their recently announced reunion, Shane, Nicky, Mark and Kian will be touring in 2019, celebrating the 20th anniversary of Westlife. The shows will mark the first time the band has toured together since their break-up in 2012.
Westlife first broke into the charts with their debut single Swear It Again. Released in April 1999, the song peaked at No.1 on the Official UK Singles Chart where it remained for two weeks. The track was the first single to be taken from the boys’ debut album Westlife. In total, five singles from the debut topped the chart in the UK – Swear It Again, If I Let You Go, Flying Without Wings, the double A-side I Have a Dream/Seasons in the Sun and Fool Again.
A phenomenal chart success, Westlife went on to release ten studio albums throughout their career, all of which charted within the top five of the Official UK Albums Chart and six of which peaked at No.1. In total, the band have released 14 chart-topping singles, including My Love, World of Our Own, Unbreakable, You Raise Me Up and the hugely successful cover version of the Billy Joel song Uptown Girl.
The new tour dates will see Westlife perform all 14 of their No.1 hit singles, as well as some brand new songs live for the first time, with a new record deal signed and a new album is on the way.
Opening acts - The Rua and Keelie Walker

The Rua Biography
Roseanna (lead vocals/guitar), Alanna (piano, vocals) & Jonathan Brown (violin, vocals, guitar), referred to as “tomorrow’s hit” by Billboard, the sibling trio has made significant waves since entering the music scene only a few years ago. The band were brought up in Windsor, England but have Irish blood flowing through their collective veins.
Their debut album Essence – heralded as “An astonishingly assured collection” in a 4* review in Q magazine – spawned three singles including 'Fight For What’s Right' (which reached #40 in the Hot AC airplay chart in the US), ‘Without You’ (#38 Billboard Adult Pop Chart & #6 in MusicWeek’s Commercial Pop Club Chart in the UK) and ‘Fire and Lies’ (#30 Billboard Adult Pop Chart).
Their self-titled second album has spawned 3 Top 40 singles on the Billboard Adult Pop Chart. Their first single from this, ’All I Ever Wanted’ , made a powerful impact in a short amount of time, breaking into top 30 at #27 on the US national Hot AC airplay chart, #31 on Billboard’s Adult Pop Chart, as well as #8 in MusicWeek’s Commercial Pop Club chart in the UK. The second single, ‘Gasoline’ reached #25 in the USA’s Billboard Adult Pop Chart and media base Hot AC chart and their third single ‘Hey You’ went to #36 making it their 5th Top 40 single in the Billboard Adult Pop Chart.
Billboard may have described the trio sound best when calling them a mix between Taylor Swift’s Red album, The Corrs & The Cranberries.
You may have seen them previously in movies and TV such as Harry Potter, Thor: The Dark World & The Crown to name but a few. The Rua has just finished a tour as the main opening act for Westlife on their 2019 UK Arena tour. Other recent performances include sharing the stage with Train, LeAnne Rimes, Goo Goo Dolls and The Plain White T’s. The Rua has gained a reputation amongst new & old fans for their captivating unique vocals & powerful flowing melodies. The family’s personality & stage presence has
become known to make audiences want to become the 4th sibling.
