Gig: Westlife

After fourteen UK No.1 singles and more than 36 million records sold worldwide, the biggest selling pop act of the last 10 years, WESTLIFE, triumphantly announce they will perform in NZ for the very first time. The all-boy band, who has dominated the charts since 1999 when they released Flying Without Wings, will appear in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland in May. WESTLIFE is a cultural phenomenon and after a decade of hits, they are still at the top of their game and continue to surprise and astound in equal measure. As well as all their hits including Seasons in the Sun and Swear It again, they will feature songs from their latest album "Back Home" when they perform in three fabulous New Zealand venues. As a special gift to their New Zealand fans in celebration of their debut tour, Westlife will be releasing a NZ only edition of their "best of" album featuring all their greatest hits. "We are ecstatic to have such an amazing band coming here," says promoter Patrick Smith. "We advise people to get in quick as this is THE hot ticket for 2008."
