A huge LED screen lit with their faces gave the impression of a 3D experience as the stage appeared to zoom forward at speed before parting in the middle and the four Westlife superstars appeared on a platform above the stage. Opening with a recent hit ‘Hello My Love’ the crowd went wild and with an explosion of powderfetti and the end of the first song, you just knew you were in for a spectacular visual display as well as performing some of their biggest hits to date.

You don’t have to be one of Westlife’s fans to enjoy one of their concerts, they sounded better than ever as they stormed through a 19 song set list.
