There will be screams galore and hands swaying aplenty as Westlife take over Newcastle's Utilita Arena for two nights in a row this weekend.
An incredible 23 years since their debut single hit number 1, Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne and Kian Egan are bringing their latest tour to Tyneside, three years after their reunion tour delighted their Geordie fans and months after they packed Wembley Stadium to the rafters for a huge outdoor show at England's famous footballing home.
After they shot straight to number 1 with their debut single Swear It Again in the summer of 1999, Westlife went on to have a string of more chart toppers, including immediate follow ups If I Let You Go and Flying Without Wings, Christmas number 1 I Have A Dream and later hits like You Raise Me Up and The Rose.
