Globally renowned pop group Westlife have announced the UK and European leg of their 25th anniversary celebrations – ‘Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour’, coming to Manchester next October. The news follows two sold-out nights at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall next week, with additional dates already added in Dublin and Belfast at pre-sale due to overwhelming demand.
Running from September 2026, the tour will see the band deliver a euphoric, hit-filled set spanning their extraordinary 25-year career from timeless ballads to global chart-toppers. The UK leg includes shows in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield, London, Brighton, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Cardiff, and Manchester, before returning to Belfast and onto Europe.
Over the last 25 years, Westlife have become one of the most successful pop groups of all time. The band have performed over 200 shows since their reunion in 2019 across 30 countries, and remain the UK and Ireland’s top-selling album group of the 21st century.
Westlife’s forthcoming album ’25 – The Ultimate Collection’, out 13th February 2026, is a celebration of their record-breaking 25-year journey, combining 21 fan favourites including You Raise Me Up, Uptown Girl, and Flying Without Wings with brand-new material recorded by all four members of Westlife: Shane, Nicky, Kian and Mark.
Westlife said: “This year marks 25 years since we started this incredible journey together and it still feels like only the beginning. The support from our fans has been unbelievable, and to celebrate with this world tour, new music, and a brand-new album feels truly special. We can’t wait to see you all on the road and share this next chapter together.”
