"This is the first full-scale New Year’s Festival to take place in the capital since 2019 and is a flagship event for the Winter in Dublin campaign, which will encourage domestic and international visitors to celebrate in Dublin this New Year’s."

Expressing their delight in being included in the festival’s line-up, Westlife have said, “2022 has been an incredible year for us, seeing so many of our fans from around the world up close and personal, but there is always something extra special about a home crowd, so as we head into 2023 let’s do the countdown together, in style, at Dublin’s New Year’s Festival Dublin. It’s going to be an unforgettable party.”

This is the event’s return since the beginning of the covid pandemic in 2019.

Tickets for each of the festival’s events are on sale now from €7.90 via Ticketmaster.
