Westlife is an Irish pop group formed in Sligo in 1998, who became one of the best-selling acts of their era. They scored 14 UK number one singles - surpassed only by Elvis Presley and The Beatles - and have sold over 55 million records worldwide. After a hiatus from 2012 to 2018, Shane Filan, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Nicky Byrne reunited and have been touring major venues globally ever since.
Westlife announced the European dates of the Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour, with a performance in Amsterdam on November 23, 2026 at the Ziggo Dome.
The anniversary album 25 - The Ultimate Collection was released on February 13, 2026, featuring 21 well-known songs and new material from all four members.
Westlife opened the 25th Anniversary World Tour with two sold-out orchestral performances at the Royal Albert Hall in London, accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
The new single 'Chariot', written by Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid and Will Reynolds, was released as a precursor to the anniversary album.
Mark Feehily is absent due to health reasons during the current tour; the band performs as a trio with Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne.
