Westlife UK Tour 2027

Status in October 2026: no 2027 UK dates announced. Westlife are in the middle of the British leg of The 25th Anniversary World Tour, an arena run that began with thirteen nights at Dublin's 3Arena in September and continues until 6 November 2026 at The O2 Belfast. Nothing has been confirmed for 2027 in the UK or Ireland.

The current shows are the biggest British tour the group has played since reforming in 2018: three nights at The O2 in London, three at Co-op Live in Manchester, three at Utilita Arena Birmingham and seven in Belfast. The band is touring as a trio, with Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne and Kian Egan on stage while Mark Feehily continues an extended break for health reasons.

This page lists the remaining 2026 dates, a long record of the group's British concerts since 2001, the songs they play most, a guide to the albums and what is known about tickets. When any 2027 date is announced it will be added here, and subscribers will hear first.

Westlife UK Tour 2027: what is announced so far

The anniversary tour was launched in June 2025 with two nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 27 and 28 October 2025. Belfast and Dublin dates were added in October 2025 alongside the single Chariot, and the arena routing was released shortly after, with album and artist presales at the end of that month. The greatest hits collection 25: The Ultimate Collection followed on 8 May 2026.

The British leg began at P&J Live in Aberdeen on 29 September 2026, followed by two nights at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow. October brings Newcastle (3 and 4 October), Leeds, Sheffield, three nights at The O2 in London (9, 10 and 11 October), Brighton, Bournemouth, three nights in Birmingham, two in Cardiff and three at Co-op Live in Manchester (23 to 25 October). The run ends with a long Belfast residency, interrupted only by a second Sheffield date on 2 November and a return to Aberdeen on 3 November.

There is no sign yet of 2027 plans. Westlife's pattern since 2019 has been to follow a big arena year with summer stadium or outdoor shows: the Twenty Tour of 2019 ended at Hyde Park, and the Wild Dreams Tour of 2022 included Wembley Stadium in August. Whether something similar follows this tour is not known, and we will not list any rumoured date.

Before the Westlife UK Tour 2027: UK concert history

Few acts have played British arenas as often as Westlife. The table below, built from the date lists of their tour articles and from setlist records, covers more than 400 UK concerts since 2001, from the Where Dreams Come True Tour through the World of Our Own, Turnaround, Number Ones, Face to Face, Love, Back Home, Where We Are and Gravity tours, the Greatest Hits farewell of 2012, the Twenty Tour of 2019 and the Wild Dreams Tour of 2022 and 2023.

Belfast stands out. The group has repeatedly booked the city's arena for five nights or more, and in 2026 it gets seven. London and Glasgow follow, then Newcastle, Birmingham, Cardiff and Manchester. The summers of 2010, 2019, 2022 and 2023 also took them into football grounds, racecourses, castles and parks, including Wembley Stadium in August 2022, Hyde Park in September 2019 and Cardiff Castle in July 2023.

The farewell tour of 2012 ended with two nights at Croke Park in Dublin; six years later the reunion was announced, and the Twenty Tour of 2019 took them back into arenas across Ireland and the UK for weeks at a time. Their most recent UK shows before the current leg were the two Royal Albert Hall nights in October 2025.

The table below lists 403 documented UK concerts by Westlife between 2001 and 2026, with the most shows in Belfast (52), Glasgow (50), London (48), Birmingham (35), Cardiff (33), Newcastle (30). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Westlife UK Tour 2027: career and records

Westlife were formed in Sligo in 1998 from a school band that included Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan, with Nicky Byrne and Brian McFadden added after auditions. Managed by Louis Walsh and signed by Simon Cowell, they released Swear It Again in 1999 and went straight to number one. Their first seven UK singles all reached the top, a record at the time.

In Ireland and the UK they have collected eleven number-one albums and sixteen number-one singles, sold over 55 million records worldwide and won two Brit Awards. The albums run from Westlife (1999) and Coast to Coast (2000) to Back Home (2007), Gravity (2010), and, after the reunion, Spectrum (2019) and Wild Dreams (2021). McFadden left in 2004, and the remaining four split in 2012 before reforming in 2018.

Since 2022 Feehily has been away from the band for long periods because of illness, so the 2025-26 tour is performed by the other three. The new songs released for the anniversary, Chariot in October 2025 and Your Love Amazes Me in April 2026, sit alongside the hits on 25: The Ultimate Collection.

Westlife UK Tour 2027: why Belfast gets seven nights

Northern Ireland has been one of Westlife's strongest markets since the beginning, and the arena on the Titanic Quarter has hosted them more than any other venue in the UK. In 2022 they played four nights there, in 2019 five; the 2026 residency stretches over late October and early November, with a short break to play Sheffield and Aberdeen.

For fans in the rest of the UK this matters because it shows where demand is heaviest. London gets three nights, Manchester three and Birmingham three, while smaller arenas such as Bournemouth, Brighton and Leeds get one each.

Westlife UK Tour 2027: the setlist

Across the shows documented with full song lists, the evening is built around the same core: World of Our Own, Uptown Girl, Flying Without Wings, What About Now, You Raise Me Up, If I Let You Go, My Love, Mandy, Swear It Again and When You're Looking Like That. On the anniversary tour, the new single Chariot joins them.

Westlife concerts follow a well-tested format: big production, costume changes, a B-stage segment for ballads and the famous key change, and a closing run of number ones. The 2026 shows are around two hours long.

Westlife UK Tour 2027: what to expect live

The 2026 shows have been running at around twenty songs, opening with up-tempo hits and moving into ballad sections before ending on the biggest singles. Support on most UK nights is listed as Ana Sky.

Expect a heavily seated arena audience, a lot of singing along and a strong nostalgia element: the anniversary staging reflects on 25 years of the band, with video segments looking back at their first tours. Exact stage times are published by each arena a few days before the show.

Westlife UK Tour 2027 tickets and presales

Tickets for the UK leg went on sale on 31 October 2025, after album and artist presales earlier that week; extra nights in London, Birmingham and Manchester followed on 3 November with an O2 Priority presale, and the Belfast dates had their own artist presale.
