More than 50,000 delirious pop fans were Flying Without Wings last night as Westlife made a triumphant return to the stage at Dublin’s Aviva stadium.
The awesome foursome had their fans in fine voice as they played their first gig in Ireland for three years, belting out their biggest hits to a packed out Aviva.
The excitement around the south Dublin stadium had been building up all day, with young fans queueing up for hours to get in to see their pop idols. Meanwhile, older fans who have followed the band for over 20 years were packed into pubs around Dublin, with many donning pink cowboy hats and Westlife t-shirts as they got into the mood from early on.
