Westlife have announced eight additional dates for their 2026 3Arena residency, bringing the total number of shows to thirteen — a new record for the Dublin venue and for the band themselves.

The Irish pop icons will now perform across 13 nights in September 2026, with shows confirmed for 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26 September. Tickets are on sale now, with prices ranging from €80 to €369 including fees.

The announcement follows what promoters describe as “extraordinary demand” after tickets for the initial run sold out within hours earlier this week. The expanded schedule marks another milestone in Westlife’s long-standing connection to Dublin, where they have repeatedly broken attendance records since reuniting in 2019.

The new dates coincide with the release of the band’s upcoming album 25 – The Ultimate Collection, due 13 February 2026. The record celebrates 25 years of Westlife’s career, combining classic hits with new material, including the recently released single “Chariot”, written by Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid, and Will Reynolds, and produced by longtime collaborator Steve Mac.

Speaking about the project, the group said: “This year marks 25 years since we started this incredible journey together and it still feels like only the beginning. 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.”

The Dublin shows form the centrepiece of the band’s Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour, which will also visit Belfast’s SSE Arena before heading to major cities across the UK and Europe later in the year.

Across their career, Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, and Mark Feehily have sold more than 55 million records worldwide, achieved 14 UK No.1 singles, and remain Ireland’s top-selling album group of the 21st century.

Their last visit to Dublin, as part of the Wild Dreams Tour, drew over 60,000 fans across multiple nights — and the upcoming 3Arena run is set to be just as momentous, offering Irish audiences an intimate yet celebratory look back at one of the country’s most enduring pop success stories.

Westlife’s 3Arena Residency – September 2026
10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25 & 26 September
