Westlife set to return to Newmarket Nights
Newmarket Racecourse is delighted to announce that Westlife, one of Ireland’s biggest bands will be performing at Newmarket Nights in association with Heart FM on Friday 13th August.
This will be the second time Westlife have been part of the Newmarket Nights Line Up. The band performed an amazing sell-out performance in 2006 and remain one of the fastest selling Newmarket Nights to date.
Mark Feehily, Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne took a year off in 2008 after an unprecedented run of 14 number one singles, 10 chart-topping albums, 40 million sales, a sequence of yearly record-breaking, pyrotechnically astonishing and fan-delighting stadium tours. Oh, and becoming possibly the most recognisable Irish faces on the planet after Bono.
In 2009, they released a new album “Where We Are” which featured their massive selling single “What About Now”. In 2010, Westlife are set to embark on another amazing tour showcasing their new album and of course performing a number of their chart-topping hits.
Stephen Wallis, Newmarket Racecourses Managing Director said “We are delighted to be welcoming Westlife back to Newmarket Nights. Their performance in 2006 was one of the fastest selling Newmarket Nights we have had and I am sure they will be as popular in 2010.”
Stephen continued “The line-up for 2010 is almost complete and we hope to announce the remaining two acts very soon but it is certainly shaping up to be a great year for Newmarket Nights.”
