Detail: 40 million record sales later pop’s most enduring super-group, Westlife are back! Following their sell out show at the same venue in 2008, Westlife are set to light up Croke Park again! The band have confirmed a concert at Croke Park, Dublin on Saturday June 5th 2010! Tickets from €59.50 including booking fee will be on sale from Friday, December 11th through ticketmaster and usual outlets nationwide.
Mark Feehily, Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne took a year off in 2008 after an unprecedented run of 14 number one singles, 10 chart-topping albums, 40 million sales, a sequence of yearly record-breaking, pyrotechnically astonishing and fan-delighting stadium tours. Oh, and becoming possibly the most recognisable Irish faces on the planet after Bono.
Spending much of 2009 hidden away in studios across Europe and the US, Westlife have been quietly creating their most exciting album to date. ‘Where We Are’ features work from pop’s finest craftsmen, including Grammy nominated Ryan Tedder (Leona Lewis, Beyonce) Steve Robson (James Morrison, Take That) Steve Booker (Duffy) Louis Biancaniello and Sam Watters (Whitney Houston, Anastacia.) and Shaznay Lewis, who co-writes a track with band member Mark Feehily.
Shane Filan of the band says “We’ve been experimenting with a fresh vibe on this record, working with new producers and writing songs for the album ourselves. After eleven years we see this as phase two of the Westlife story.”
Westlife are at peak performance, match fit and ready for the second chapter of their incredible history.
