Didn’t get tickets? Get along to this…

Westlife are playing a load of gigs this summer.

There’s gigs in Dublin, gigs in Belfast, gigs across the rest of the UK and gigs in Asia.

The lads certainly aren’t lacking in popularity since their big return.

In fact, it probably wouldn’t be unfair to say that they’re even more popular now than they were back in the ’90s.

This ever-increasing obsession with Kian, Nicky, Mark, and Shane has been emphasised through the speed in which their gigs sold, the nationwide excitement at their return, and the tears that were inevitably shed when the dropped their comeback single.

And also by the fact that they’ll be live streaming one of their Croke Park gigs in select cinemas on 6 July.

The sold out Saturday concert will be screened across the UK and Ireland, so if you didn’t manage to get tickets to the actual gig, don’t worry because you can watch it all in real-time in participating cinemas anyway.

“We have been overwhelmed with the incredible reaction to the tour and we’re so happy that our fans will now have the chance to enjoy the show in cinemas across the world,” said the lads.

“Croke Park has always been a special place for us and we can’t wait to be back there.

“It’s going to be a phenomenal night!”

Tickets for the live cinema screenings go on sale this Friday 12 April here.
