WESTLIFE IN CONCERT
30th June, 1st, 8th, 9th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 21st, 22nd, & 23rd July
Relaxed, refreshed and bursting with energy, Westlife are the quiet superstars of the mainstream UK music scene. Their current album ‘Face To Face’ shows how they have dominated for seven years and features all the hallmarks of that reign - a collection of classic songs and future standards.
After a brief interlude with their Rat Pack album of classic song sung in the style of Sinatra, ‘Face To Face’ is Westlife’s first collection of new songs since ‘Turnaround’ topped the charts in 2003. A familiar blend of big ballads and mid-tempo tunes, balanced by the occasional up-tempo song, ‘Face To Face’ presents Westlife playing to their strengths – passionate vocals and memorable tunes. It’s a straightforward formula that’s been winning hearts and ears since the dawn of popular music, from the doo-wop days of the Platters, through the timeless harmonies of the Drifters and Coasters, to the slick modern sounds of Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, Take That and Boyzone. But no one’s done it with so much success as Westlife – 34 million album sales are testament to that!
After seven years together, their seventh album finds them at the top of their game, and it’s a big game they play in, with six multi-platinum albums in the UK alone. Add to that the Brit Awards, MTV Award, 12 UK number one’s; Westlife are one of the biggest brands on the planet.
The Summer Nights Open Air Concert Series is a great chance to hear classic tracks from a truly great British Pop act. Don’t miss out.
