Hotels for Westlife 25 - The Anniversary World Tour

Twenty-five years since four lads started out, this is a milestone tour built around the songs that soundtracked school discos, weddings and long car journeys for a whole generation. Expect a setlist heavy on the ballads and singalong choruses, staged with the scale and polish of a band who've spent a quarter-century filling arenas.

A Thursday evening slot means an early finish for some, a late one for those who make a night of it. Fans travel in groups, often the same friends who first bought the albums together, and the atmosphere leans warm and nostalgic rather than rowdy.

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.
