Have you gotten your tickets for Westlife’s 3Arena residency?
The lads will play 13 nights in the beloved venue to mark 25 years of the band in 2026.
They’ve promised that these shows will be like nothing we’ve ever seen.
And now Shane Filan has teased what fans can expect from the upcoming gigs.

Westlife star Shane Filan joined Louise Cantillon on Today FM, to chat about the band’s upcoming 25th Anniversary World Tour.
‘’Visually it’s going to be very spectacular. The show is going to be on a different level altogether visually. Screens wise; it’s larger-than-life kind of stuff, but it’s going to be spectacular,” he enthused.
“We definitely will have some guests in Dublin, I think, as well. There’s going to be definitely two or three guests that are gonna come and maybe share a song with us, so. Ah, you definitely would have heard of one or two of them, yeah!’’
Oh we can’t wait!

Who could be the special guests who join them?
The lads will play 13 dates in the 3Arena – 0, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25 & 26 September 2026.
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.
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.”
They are set to play seven dates in Belfast’s SSE Arena – 27-31 October 2026 and 5-6 November 2026.
