Over 150,000 fans will be making their way to the Aviva Stadium this weekend to see Ireland’s biggest boyband Westlife take to the stage.
It’s been three years since the band’s last tour and fans are excited to see them for the first time post-pandemic this Friday and Saturday, July 8 and 9.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the concerts.
There is no parking available on-site so promoters are encouraging gig-goers to use public transport.
Located in Ballsbridge, the easiest way to get to the Aviva Stadium is by Dart.
The nearest stop is Lansdowne Road and it is just a few steps away from the stadium.
There are also a number of bus routes that stop close to the stadium, including the 4 and 7.
It also isn’t too far from the city centre so for those that would prefer to walk, it’s about a 25-minute walk from St Stephens Green.
Gates open for both days at 6pm.
The first supporting act of the night is Dublin pop-star Soulé who will be followed by the naughties girl band Sugababes.
6.30pm- Soulé
7.30pm- Sugababes
8.30pm- Westlife
Bags must be no bigger than A4 and will be subject to a search. Those who do not need a bag checked will be fast-tracked.
