The Irish boyband are heading to the stadium on Friday, June 19 for the first night of their Stadiums in the Summer tour and will play all their greatest hits alongside new music.

The band, which consists of Shane Filan, Markus Feehily, Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne, will be performing in the Barclay End and there will be standing on the pitch, including a golden circle, and seating in the stands with capacity at the ground for 25,000 people.

The event is part of wider plans by the club to make Carrow Road an "established concert venue" and follows the success of sell-out Take That concerts in 2017 and 2019.

Ben Kensell, Chief Operating Officer at Carrow Road, said: "Following Take That, we looked around and wanted to get something similar in terms of demographic and it is great to be able to get a group like Westlife to come here.

"We certainly got it right with Take That and they really enjoyed their time here - the minute you start to get that success when it comes to selling concerts out it makes it easier to negotiate different acts."

The global pop stars will perform hits such as Swear It Again, Flying Without Wings and You Raise Me Up as well as up-tempo new songs from their forthcoming new album Spectrum, which is released on November 15.

Mr Kensell added: "We are now becoming an established concert venue as well as a football stadium which is really important.

"It is on a Friday night in June when hopefully the sun is shining and we pack the place out and it will be just as good, if not better, than Take That."
