The spectacular concert, on Saturday 22 August 2020, will see the global pop kings perform their greatest hits including ‘Swear It Again’, ‘Flying Without Wings’ and ‘You Raise Me Up’ as well as sensational uptempo new songs from their forthcoming album ‘Spectrum’ such as ‘Hello My Love’, ‘Better Man’ and ‘Dynamite’.
The band will be supported by James Morrison and All Saints.
It will be the first time, in the band’s 20-year career, that Westlife have headlined Wembley Stadium Connected by EE and follows the phenomenal success of their comeback which has seen the nation fall in love with the Irish superstars all over again. Westlife fever captured the UK this summer with the release of hit new music and their fastest-selling tour of all time.
“Headlining Wembley Stadium is a dream come true for all of us. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we’re incredibly excited for a show which will be different and more spectacular than anything we’ve ever done before. This will be our biggest ever concert in the UK”, say the band.
