Irish pop legends Westlife are currently on a massive 25th anniversary tour – and this weekend it’s in London. Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour is at the O2 Arena in Greenwich for three dates on October 9-11.

Westlife formed in the late ’90s and have since sold a whopping 55 million records. Here in the UK they’ve been one of the most successful pop groups of all time with 14 UK number one singles (only Elvis and the Beatles have had more chart-topping hits). Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour kicked off in Dublin (where else?) at the start of September.

Can’t wait to hear hits like ‘My Love’, ‘If I Let You Go’, ‘Uptown Girl’ and ‘You Raise Me Up’ performed to a packed O2? Here’s everything you need to know about Westlife’s shows, from the timings and setlist to last-minute ticket availability.
