Last Friday, just ahead of two sold-out nights at the Royal Albert Hall to mark their forthcoming 25th anniversary, Westlife announced a special homecoming residency at Dublin’s 3Arena with five shows from 22–26 September 2026.
Due to phenomenal demand, an extra five dates 15, 16, 18, 19 & 20 September have been added.
Tickets for all ten shows will go on sale Thursday 23rd October at 9am.
These landmark dates mark the band’s 25th anniversary celebrations and will bring their total number of performances at the 3Arena to an unprecedented 79 shows, a figure unmatched by any other artist in the venue’s history.
Over the years, Westlife have also headlined multiple sold-out nights at Croke Park Stadium, Aviva Stadium, Fitzgerald Stadium (Killarney), Pearse Stadium (Galway), Páirc Uí Chaoimh (Cork) and Markievicz Park (Sligo), cementing their status as Ireland’s most in demand and successful live act.
The global pop kings will perform their greatest hits including “Swear It Again,” “Flying Without Wings,” and “You Raise Me Up,” alongside fan favourites from across their catalogue. Fans can expect a euphoric, hit-packed set spanning the band’s remarkable career.
Shane, Nicky, and Kian of Westlife said: “There’s no better feeling than coming home to Dublin. This city has been at the heart of our story from the very beginning, and to kick off our 25th anniversary celebrations at the 3Arena feels incredibly special. Every time we play here, the crowd’s energy is electric, we can’t wait to celebrate with you all and make more amazing memories together.”
Over the last 25 years, Westlife have become one of the most successful pop groups of all time. Their music has been streamed over 3 billion times globally; they’ve achieved 36 No.1 albums worldwide, 14 UK No.1 singles (ranking only behind Elvis Presley and The Beatles), sold over 55 million records, surpassed 1 billion YouTube views, and sold more than 6 million concert tickets around the world. The Wild Dreams Tour sold over 1.2 million tickets alone. The band have performed over 200 shows since their reunion in 2019 across 30 countries. Westlife remain the UK & Ireland’s top-selling album group of the 21st century.
