Westlife’s return to the stage for their massive 2022 tour will be an emotional experience all round.
The group reunited in 2018 and, after releasing their comeback album, ‘Spectrum’, the following year, had been due to head out on tour in 2020.
Plans were unfortunately axed due to the pandemic, but the boys are already anticipating the intense emotion that will come with their return to the stage.
“I think that moment will feel just as big,” explains Kian Egan. “And not just because of Westlife being on stage for us or for our fans – but just for the world to be back.
“The last two years that we’ve all had has been pretty crazy. And being at a concert and playing live music again… I don’t know, there’s just something about that.
“ Because it’s the last thing, right? It’s the last thing that’s going to happen for everybody because it’s so many people in one big room.”
He adds: “I think it’s gonna probably break us all. Everybody. No matter what show it is that you go to see, I think we’re going to be emotional wrecks.”
Westlife released their 12th album, ‘Wild Dreams’, in 2021, featuring the radio hit Starlight.
In a review of the album, Retro Pop said the group “deliver boyband anthems and classic ballads” and strike “a winning formula of anthemic choruses, layered synths and stadium-ready beats”.
