Heads up Westlife fans !

One of the world’s most popular boybands, Westlife, is set to perform an exclusive show in the Middle East at the Etihad Arena in Yas Island – Abu Dhabi on September 29. The Irish pop sensations, who are best known for tunes from the ’90s such as ‘You Raise Me Up’, ‘Swear It Again’ and ‘Uptown Girl’, have sold more than 55 million records worldwide.

And Live Nation, the organisers of the event, just released an update on tickets: they go on sale on Friday August 5 at 12pm, so mark your calendars. Tickets will be priced from Dhs199 and will be available from livenation.me and ticketmaster.ae from Friday.

For those heading to the concert from Dubai, there will also be the option to book a shuttle bus that will go straight to the Etihad Arena for an additional Dhs59. The group will be showcasing their superb 18th studio album, ‘Wild Dreams’, which was released in 2021, along with a host of well-known classics. The most recent album was recorded over an 18-month period, inspired by the challenges of the time and it is a statement that captures the mood of the moment. It has moments of reflection and is about new beginnings, hope and looking to the future.
