After three years away, Westlife is set to make a grand return to Singapore in February 2026 with a special concert titled A Gala Evening. The event will take place at the Arena @ EXPO and promises an elevated musical experience, with the group performing their beloved hits alongside a full live orchestra. Fans can expect an evening filled with nostalgia, harmonies, and the timeless sound that made Westlife one of the most loved pop groups of their era.
Westlife’s legacy stretches back to the late 90s and early 2000s, long before the rise of modern boy bands like One Direction. Songs such as My Love, Uptown Girl, and their iconic rendition of You Raise Me Up helped define a generation of pop music. For this special Singapore show, three members—Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, and Shane Filan—will take the stage. Brian McFadden, who left the group in 2004 to pursue his own path, will not be part of the event, and Mark Feehily remains on hiatus due to health reasons.
This upcoming performance takes inspiration from the group’s celebrated concert series at London’s Royal Albert Hall, where Westlife blended their vocals with sweeping orchestral arrangements. For Singapore, they will be joined by the country’s own Metropolitan Festival Orchestra, adding a rich, cinematic layer to their signature ballads. Fans can expect familiar songs reshaped by powerful instrumentation, creating moments designed to give the audience chills.
The concert is scheduled for 3 February 2026 at 8 p.m. at the Arena @ EXPO. While official seating charts and pricing have yet to be released, fans already have key dates to mark on their calendars. Pre-sale access opens on 17 December 2025 at 11 a.m., followed by the general on-sale beginning 19 December 2025 at 11 a.m. With anticipation building, many fans are expected to log on early to secure their spots.
Whether you’ve only heard a few of Westlife’s hits or have followed them since their debut, this Gala Evening promises a rare and unforgettable experience. Hearing their iconic songs enhanced by a live orchestra offers something truly unique—and the band’s return to Singapore makes it even more special. For anyone who loves heartfelt ballads and sweeping arrangements, this is a performance not to be missed.
