November 18, 20222 yr The arena leg of the tour began yesterday. The set list is exactly the same as the summer shows... Why release a whole new album if you're only going to perform one song from it? I appreciate these are basically the delayed 2020 shows but still.
November 19, 20222 yr The arena leg of the tour began yesterday. The set list is exactly the same as the summer shows... Why release a whole new album if you're only going to perform one song from it? I appreciate these are basically the delayed 2020 shows but still. I honestly don't know why I hoped for anything different. Even if they are delayed shows from 2020, they only perform Hello My Love from the previous album which is also crazy. They had not one but two albums in the meantime and yet they make this into a greatest hits tour. Walsh is probably to blame, he is the one who is convinced fans only want the same old hits over and over again :blink: I say old because its like they forgot they have other hits like Tonight, Obvious, I Lay My Love On You, Hey Whatever etc. Edited November 19, 20222 yr by zeze88
November 19, 20222 yr Just seen their Wembley Stadium show from the summer is gonna be on ITV1 tomorrow afternoon at 5:25pm!
November 20, 20222 yr No17 in itunes for greatest hits. I am wondering if that would be enough to appear in tomorrow’s update
February 13, 20232 yr They've actually changed the set-list slightly with this current leg of the tour.
May 5, 20232 yr Uptown Girl Platinum 2x Single After 1 year and 5 months (17 months) Uptown Girls sells an extra 84k and becomes their first ever single to be certified Double Platinum. That makes it 4.9k sales each month (over 1k per week) Great achievement!
August 26, 20231 yr Nice of them to care about the fans and release new music……oh wait, they just want to tour the same old to fill their pockets.
August 26, 20231 yr Yes, shame on an artist for wanting to tour for fans who have probably never had the chance to see them live before :unsure:
August 26, 20231 yr Yes, shame on an artist for wanting to tour for fans who have probably never had the chance to see them live before :unsure: I was about to say, that was an incredibly bizarre take.
August 26, 20231 yr I must say, it's remarkable that Westlife has huge following in the US. Thought they're only Europe and Asia popular. Edited August 26, 20231 yr by All★bySmashMouth
August 26, 20231 yr I must say, it's remarkable that Westlife has huge following in the US. Thought they're only Europe and Asia popular. I’d image it’s just loads of Irish and British people living in the USA going to the shows
August 26, 20231 yr Nice of them to care about the fans and release new music……oh wait, they just want to tour the same old to fill their pockets. You are incredibly negative whatever they do, sometimes I wonder if you are still their fan. Some fans have waited for years to see them live, they sure are awful to do this...

August 26, 20231 yr They released 2 albums in the last 4 years. If the fans did not make it a huge commercial success, what are you asking for? To pay for their own music? Its almost impossible for 90’s boybands to be sustainable today and Westlife did more than almost every other artist under the same category. I was a proud fan 20 years ago and still am. Thats how the business runs its not their fault everybody consumes ed sheeran and taylor swift
