Globally renowned pop group Westlife today announce the Australia and New Zealand leg of their monumental Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour, alongside today’s release of their highly anticipated forthcoming album 25 – The Ultimate Collection, a celebration of their record-breaking 25-year journey at the very top of global pop.
Produced by Live Nation, the Australia and New Zealand tour in July 2027 will see Westlife deliver a euphoric, hit-filled set spanning their extraordinary career, including timeless ballads and global chart-toppers. Starting in Australia, Westlife will stop in Perth on 16 July at the RAC Arena before heading to Adelaide’s Entertainment Centre on 18July, followed by the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 21 July, Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on 23 July and finishing at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 26 July. The band will then cross the ditch to Aotearoa, New Zealand to play at Tamaki Makaurau, Auckland’s Spark Arena on 28July, and Otautahi, Christchurch’s Wolfbrook Arena on 30 July to round out this leg.
The band says: “We can’t believe it’s been 20 years since we last toured in Australia and New Zealand, so it only felt right that we should come back and celebrate our 25th Anniversary together. We have always loved coming back to this part of the world as the fans have always made our trips so memorable and special – you have the loudest fans in the world! The 25th Anniversary show will be our most exciting and ambitious to date and of course, we will be performing all of the hits. Australia and New Zealand – we cannot wait to see you!”
