Organizers said on Friday that Westlife's landmark dates will bring their total number of performances at the 3Arena to an unprecedented 74 shows and at The SSE Arena to 72, figures unmatched by any other artist in either venue’s history.
Over the years, Westlife have also headlined multiple sold-out nights at Croke Park Stadium and Aviva Stadium, both in Dublin, as well as Killarney's Fitzgerald Stadium, Galway's Pearse Stadium, Cork's Páirc Uí Chaoimh, and Sligo's Markievicz Park.
The global Irish pop kings will perform their greatest hits, including “Swear It Again,” “Flying Without Wings,” and “You Raise Me Up," alongside fan favourites from across their catalogue.
"Fans can expect a euphoric, hit-packed set spanning the band’s remarkable career," MCD Productions teased.
Shane, Nicky, and Kian of Westlife said: “There’s no better feeling than coming home to Dublin. This city has been at the heart of our story from the very beginning, and to kick off our 25th anniversary celebrations with five nights at the 3Arena feels incredibly special.
"Every time we play here, the crowd’s energy is electric, we can’t wait to celebrate with you all and make more amazing memories together.”
Looking ahead to their Belfast shows, the trio added: "Belfast has always held a special place in our hearts. The crowds here are unbelievable, the atmosphere is like nowhere else in the world.
"To be returning for our 25th anniversary and to extend our record-breaking run at the SSE Arena is an amazing feeling. We can’t wait to see everyone again next October.”
