Westlife to broadcast their Wembley Stadium concert to Dublin cinemas

Westlife will broadcast their Wembley Stadium concert to Dublin cinemas when they take to the London stage on Saturday, August 6.

Nicky, Shane, Kian and Mark will play to a massive sold out audience at the venue for the first time ever as part of their The Wild Dreams tour.

The show promises to bring fans some of the band's biggest hits from the past two decades. The concert will begin at 8.30pm and will be live streamed to Movies@ cinemas in Dublin.

The lads are set to play Dublin's Aviva Stadium on July 8 and 9, having announced the tour last year at a press conference at the venue.

Speaking at the tour announcement, band member Shane Filan promised that the shows will be "our biggest and best show ever".

He said: "It's going to bring you through the 22 years of Westlife. It will be full of all of our hits but we want to freshen it up and make it a very exciting show for families.

"There are lots of different age groups going to these shows. We want the kids to enjoy it and think the show is cool. We want to make this our biggest and best show ever."

Band mate Nicky Byrne added: "This is a momentous occasion for all of us, not just necessarily the show but this morning, to be able to announce the show considering what we've all been up to for the past couple of years. It just feels so positive that we're moving forward and we're getting to a place, particularly for the Irish music scene, that shows can come back.

"We always try to put on the spectacle. This time around, it's going to be that little bit extra special because of what it represents."

Tickets for the live stream of Westlife's Wembley Stadium concert can be booked at movies-at.ie.
