Westlife announce Cardiff Castle gig this summer

Westlife fans rejoice because the boys are back and will be coming to Wales' capital city this summer to play a massive headline gig at Cardiff Castle on Wednesday, July 5.

Joining other big names who are performing this summer - such as Tom Jones, Rag N Bone Man, Bastille and Example - the much-loved pop band will be coming to the castle for the first time with popular event organisers DEPOT live.

Pre-sale tickets for the show will go live on Wednesday, March 8 for those who are with O2 at 10am. Priority tickets will open up on Thursday, March 9 at 10am while general sale goes live on Friday, March 10.

Supporting the band will be singer songwriter LYRA, whose tracks include Falling, Never Let Go and New Day, and Lucien Moon - aka singer-songwriter Jamie Benkert.

This isn't the only time the 'Flying Without Wings' singers will be making their way to the Welsh capital city this year. In December, on the 11th and 12th, they will be bringing their The Wild Dreams tour to the Motorpoint Arena.

The Irish pop group started out as a five-piece band in 1998 in Dublin before becoming a foursome in 2004 after Brian McFadden left. Westlife is currently made up of Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan, and Nicky Byrne, who are the record holders of the first band to achieve consecutive number one singles in the UK. They also have 11 number one albums, 16 number one singles and have sold over 55 million records. The group disbanded in 2012 after 14 years of success and reunited six years later in 2018 with a new five album and tour deal.

Tickets for Westlife's Cardiff Castle show can be found on Ticketmaster. For more information, see Depot Live's website.
