Hotels for Westlife 25 - The Anniversary World Tour

Twenty-five years since their first single, the band return with a set built around that whole run of hits rather than a single album. Expect the kind of crowd that grew up on these songs first time round, now bringing their own kids along for the singalong choruses. A midweek evening slot means most people will have had the day to travel and settle in before doors. These anniversary shows tend to lean heavily on nostalgia, with staging built for arena-sized ballad moments rather than club energy.

A landmark of Glasgow's Clydeside, the OVO Hydro is one of the world's busiest arenas, its glowing dome hosting global music tours, comedy and sport beside the SEC campus and the river. The surrounding area is modern and purpose-built, with riverside walks and the Finnieston district's celebrated bars and restaurants close by.

Exhibition Centre station sits right alongside, linking quickly into the city centre. Booking a room in Finnieston or the centre lets you dine well before a show and walk or train back easily.
