Westlife release 25th Anniversary album 25 - The Ultimate Collection

Westlife have released 25th Anniversary album 25- The Ultimate Collection.

Serving as a celebration of the group's 25-year career, it includes hits such as 'You Raise Me Up' and 'Uptown Girl'. The LP also features new material, like lead single 'Chariot', written by Ed Sheeran and produced by Steve Mac.

The greatest hits album was originally announced for October 2025 with a scheduled release of February 13. However, in January this year the group announced on social media that the album was pushed back to May 8 due to. "unavoidable scheduling changes".

"What a better way to mark 25 years of Westlife than an album that brings together our biggest hits alongside new music we're so proud of," said the band.

To mark the release, the group have also announced an expansion of their Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour with dates across Asia, Mexico, Scandinavia, Australia, and New Zealand. It kicks off with a 13 date residency in Dublin's 3Arena this September, before heading across Europe and the UK, marking their first headline continental run in two decades.

"We're beyond excited to head out on a global tour and celebrate these songs with the fans who've made it all possible," stated the band on social media.
