Westlife announce new album and add eight Dublin shows

Westlife have announced their upcoming album 25 - The Ultimate Collection, out February 13, 2026, along with eight additional 3Arena shows.

The new release celebrates the group's 25th anniversary. It will include 21 of their hit tracks, including 'You Raise Me Up', 'Uptown Girl' and 'Flying Without Wings', along with new material recorded by all four members.

The pop band's extra dates, added to their previously announced Dublin shows, bring their 3Arena residency to a total of 13 nights, marking the highest run of shows at the venue.

They are set to perform in Dublin starting September 10, 2026 and ending on September 26. See the full list of dates below.

To accompany the news, Westlife have released their new single 'Chariot', taken from the upcoming album.

The track was written by Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid and Will Reynolds, and co-written and produced by Steve Mac.

"This year marks 25 years since we started this incredible journey together and it still feels like only the beginning," said the band.

"The support from our fans has been unbelievable, and to celebrate with this world tour, new music, and a brand-new album feels truly special. We can’t wait to see you all on the road and share this next chapter together."

In addition to their Dublin gigs, the group is taking their Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour to Belfast, the UK and across Europe.
