Hotels for Westlife 25 - The Anniversary World Tour

Twenty-five years since a group of five became four became a nationwide phenomenon, this tour is built entirely around nostalgia and endurance. Fans who queued as teenagers now bring their own children, and the setlist is designed to move between eras rather than favour any one album. Expect a crowd that knows every lyric before the first chord lands, and a night that leans heavily on singalongs over spectacle.

Anniversary shows like this tend to draw a wider age range than a standard tour date, filling the room with people marking their own quarter-century as much as the band's.

On the revitalised Dublin docklands, the 3Arena is Ireland's premier indoor venue, drawing global music tours, comedy and family shows to the banks of the Liffey. The surrounding Point Village area is modern, with waterside bars and restaurants nearby and the city centre a short journey away. The Luas red line stops right outside, running straight into the heart of Dublin. Booking a room in the centre or docklands lets you enjoy the city before a show and hop back on the tram afterwards.
