Hotels for Westlife 25 - The Anniversary World Tour

Twenty-five years on from their first hits, this is a milestone tour built for fans who grew up with the band and are now bringing their own families along. Expect a set list leaning heavily on the singalong ballads and pop anthems that soundtracked the early 2000s, delivered with the polish of a group who have done this for a quarter of a century.

Friday night crowds tend to arrive early and dress up, treating the evening as a proper night out rather than just a concert. The anniversary framing gives the whole show a nostalgic, celebratory feel that a standard tour date wouldn't have.

Set right in the heart of Birmingham beside the canals and Brindleyplace, this city-centre arena hosts big-name concerts, boxing and family shows. Its location is a real draw, with waterside bars, restaurants and the buzz of Broad Street all within a short walk. New Street and Snow Hill stations are close, and the wider West Midlands is easy to reach. Booking a central room means you can enjoy the canalside dining before a show and be back at your door within minutes afterwards.
