    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good songs for all ages (current, ratpack, oldies etc), 4 gorgeous men entertaining you for a few hours

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some crap opening acts, crappy blink tv

    Westlife No. 1s Tour, previously called the Red Carpet Tour, 2005 For the past three years, I have brought my mam to see the all Irish boyband, Westlife, on their tour around Europe. The choice venue for us, always in Dublin. Three years ago it was in Lansdowne Road, Ireland’s main sports stadium, host to many concerts and home to the Irish rugby team. For the past two years, the bands have chosen the Point Depot, one of the main concert holders of the country. ~The Venue~ The Point is quite an old building, with one main gate to enter. Security seemed pretty tight, they checked my camera to ... more

    4 Stars Westlife 11/03/05 at Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle 12/03/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Some good songs and a good view

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive tickets (£27.50) and not enough hit singles

    Westlife returned to Newcastle with an exciting start. Shane, Mark, Kian and Nicky came in through the doors at the back of the arena and took the risky chance of walking down the aisles and greeting the screaming fans before jumping on stage to sing "Uptown Girl". "Hey Whatever", "If I Let You Go", "Mandy", "Unbreakable", "My Love", "Swear It Again" and a raunchy "When You're Looking Like That" followed the opening song. As Westlife went for a costume change, the excellent backing band played an instrumental "I Will Survive". This set the tone for the next segment, which was a series of cover ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great show, great voices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Couldn't hear what they were saying to the audience

    I recently had the good fortune to be offered a freebie when Westlife played Sheffield Arena last week. Now I'm sure a lot of you will think "Good fortune? pah!", but I actually really like Westlife's music - okay, so they might be a manufactured boy band, but they're inoffensive and have catchy tunes. Thousands of people can't be wrong! The freebie I received was to be in a suite/box at the Arena, to meet up with some other Secretaries I deal with regularly, none of whom had ever met. That was the main reason for going in the first place, but later became a bonus of going to see Westlife! I ... more

    3 Stars Four Boys on Stools. 08/03/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Immaculate presentation of all their hits.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little short and underwhelming, without any real "Wow!"-factor.

    The day of the concert was upon me. Within seven hours, I would be standing in a hall rammed with ten thousand of Westlife's target demographic - how would I cope, I wondered, never quite being able to behave myself properly in crowds? Would I be converted? Worse still, would a spot of irreverence cause aggression from the Irish boybands worshippers? All questions I needed to ponder as I smoked a cigarette from my turret window - a good spot, I thought, for fending off hordes of angry Westlife fans should that moment come. But I was taking this seriously, because I was going to the concert ... more

    5 Stars One less but still the best! 07/11/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Westlife (what more could i ask for)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not long enough, not great seats.

    On March 2004 Westlife set off on another sell-out tour. This tour was the Turnaround Tour and started in Belfast on the 29th. This tour had a total of about 58 dates and stopped off at Belfast, Nottingham, Brighton, Cardiff, Glasgow, Newcastle, Birmingham, Sheffield, Manchester, London, Dublin, Stockholm and many others. For anybody who doesn’t know who Westlife are where have you been. Only joking I will tell you a bit about them. Westlife were a five piece boyband who first started out in 1998 and won a Smash Hits Award. This helped launch their career and in 1999 came their first of many ... more

    5 Stars westlife in concert 04/06/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages brilliant voices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages leaving afterwards

    what a concert this was. being a mother of two I had to be persuaded to go. I am glad I did. The songs they sang (and they really can sing) brought back memories for all ages, as there was a good variety. As the music started you could feel the atmosphere rise. When they burst onto the stage there was a huge scream from the crowd. The did a few songs and a few moves to go with them, then they brought down a huge walkway. This was brilliant as it ment the fans at the back managed to get a closer look at them. After doing a few songs on that they each made a speech thanking all the fans for ... more

    5 Stars Brill concert, even from the back 18/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages So many brill songs to listen to!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rubbish seats - not Westlife's fault though!

    I have followed Westlife since they supported Boyzone on tour, so was very pleased when they announced they were going on tour. I managed to get tickets, but was disappointed when i got rubbish seats, especially as they announced another 5 nights in Glasgow after i had bought them! On the night of the concert, i looked at the stage and thought it would be rubbish as i could barely see over the people in front of me. When Reel came on i cheered up, and was dancing in my seat. Then when Westlife came on, the whole crowd went mad, and as they belted out hit after hit, i didn't seem to care that i ... more

    5 Stars The Fab Four 01/03/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages All the Westlife classics and very entertaining

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Support acts are rubbish

    I was at the MEN arena in Machester on Sat 26th Feb 2005. The support acts were very disappointing. There was a guy called Royston who was a bit r&b not really my thing. Then there was A guy and a lady they were a bit hip hop but it wasn't very good and I have no idea who they were!!! Then there was a russian girl called Alsou, she was ok and she sang a song that she has recorded with Nelly. She had 4 male dancers with her which made it better!!! Westlife were a little late starting but it was worth the wait! They walked from the back of the arena to the front so that everyone got a chance to ... more
