Westlife’s Wild Dreams tour was initially scheduled for 2020 but due to coronavirus restrictions across the UK, the tour was postponed twice as crowds were unable to gather without social distancing.
When the tour was postponed for the second time in August 2021, the pop group said in a statement: “We are incredibly saddened to announce that due to the most recent government Covid guidelines around the delay in lifting restrictions across England, we are unable to proceed with our UK shows at Wembley Stadium this summer.”
Now, the boyband will return to London to perform for the first time at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, August 6.
But what can fans expect to hear on the setlist and will the gig be available to watch at local cinemas? Here’s everything you need to know.
