What can we expect from shows?
Recent shows at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall in October 2025 saw Kian, Nicky and Shane performing with the Royal Philarmonic Orchestra, dressed in tuxedos and bow ties, performing to beautiful orchestral arrangements of their hits.
We expect the concert orchestra shows in China, Singapore, Taiwan, Macao and Indonesia may be along these lines – with the guys snazzily-dressed, accompanied by some of the world’s best orchestras, to huge sell-out crowds!
See the guys performing Chariot live at the Royal Albert Hall in October 2025:
Can we expect spectacular shows for the 25th Anniversary Tour? We think so! Previous large-scale shows have featured a few costume changes, pyrotechnics, confetti cannons, and Beyonce-inspired dance moves…
Westlife performed two shows at Dublin’s Croke Park stadium on The Twenty Tour in 2019 which featured impressive stage effects by the designers of the famous Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, and the following Wild Dreams Tour and Hits Tour staging did not disappoint.
What we do know is that as a 25th anniversary show the setlist will include some of Westlife’s best-loved hits including Flying Without Wings, Swear It Again, and more to be revealed!
What time do Westlife come on stage?
Timings are likely to vary for different venues, but for the Royal Albert Hall in London timings were as follows:
6.30pm: Doors open
7.30pm: Show starts
11.30pm: Curfew
Previous Dublin Aviva Stadium gigs timings were as follows:
6pm Doors open
6.30pm First support act
7.30pm Second support act
8.30pm Westlife on stage
Times may differ for shows at other locations. Please check with the venue for timings if you are going to a show!
Are there any other tour dates?
No other tour dates have been announced yet. The guys have toured around the UK, Southeast Asia, South Africa, and North America over the last couple of years.
If you want to hear more Westlife songs live, you can also catch Brian McFadden (formerly of Westlife) and Keith Duffy (of Boyzone) performing as tribute band Boyzlife, with a series of dates across the UK in 2026:

Westlife Live at the Royal Albert Hall

Westlife Live from Croke Park DVD
A film of Westlife’s Twenty Tour was released in March 2020, titled ‘Westlife: The Twenty Tour Live from Croke Park’.
The show was filmed at Westlife’s homecoming gig at Croke Park in Dublin on 6 July 2019. A camera crew followed Westlife backstage, for some behind-the scenes documentary style clips.
It’s now available to stream on Amazon Prime (rent or buy) and to purchase on DVD. The DVD release also includes a live CD.
Twenty Tour DVD – £16.40 (Amazon UK*)
Rent for £4.49 (Amazon Prime*)
Will Mark be touring with Westlife?
As far as we know, Mark Feehily will not be joining the shows in 2026. An announcement released by the guys read:
Sadly, Mark will be unable to join the celebrations. We hope he can join us back on stage when he is ready and able. He sends his love and positivity to you all as always
Mark announced in February 2024 that he was temporarily taking time off from touring with Westlife to focus on his health. The promo images released for the shows only feature Kian, Nicky, and Shane in the photos, so it’s safe to say that at present Mark isn’t planning to join the shows.
Shane previously said:
[Mark] needs the time off as the tour would have been impossible. But he’s happy now at home. There’s no plans at the moment [for his return] but we can’t wait to have him back.
Source: Belfast Live, 27 October 2024
Shane also revealed that it was Mark’s decision for Westlife to continue performing without him:
‘We talked about it with Mark, and he didn’t want us to [stop touring] because we had so many concerts to do. He missed nearly half the tour so when you’ve sold out shows and when he got sick the first time, he got pneumonia, it was an hour and a half before the first show in Newcastle.”
“We made the decision to keep the flag flying. We can’t wait to have him back”
Source: Irish Mirror, 12 September 2024
We wish Mark all the best, and hope he will be well enough to join the guys on tour again soon.
When will Westlife be touring in my country?
We don’t know yet! Kian previously reassured fans that the guys intend to tour widely:
“To all our fans who feel disappointed that their country or city isn’t in the first dates please do know this. We intend to reach every city in the world that has a hunger to see Westlife live!”

As soon as we know any further, we’ll add details to this page!
Westlife’s previous tour in 2024 kicked off with ‘The Hits Tour‘, with Nicky, Kian and Shane putting on a series of shows across the US, Canada, Brazil and Mexico. This was Westlife’s first ever headline North American tour!
The guys continued touring in 2024 with dates in Southeast Asia to sell-out audiences across Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and South Korea. Audiences in China were treated to a slightly different setlist, billed as the ‘With Love Tour‘, in June and July 2024.
