Hotels for Westlife 25 - The Anniversary World Tour

Twenty-five years since a group of five hopefuls stepped off a bus in Sligo, this tour marks a quarter-century of ballads and singalongs from a band that has outlasted most of its contemporaries. Expect an arena full of fans who grew up on these songs, many now bringing their own children along for the ride.

The setlist spans decades, so the mood swings between euphoric pop choruses and the quieter, hands-in-the-air ballads that made their name. A Tuesday evening slot means an early finish for the working week, but the atmosphere inside will be anything but subdued.

In the centre of Cardiff, this long-running indoor arena hosts concerts, comedy and family shows within easy reach of the capital's bars, shopping and the castle. The walkable centre puts restaurants and nightlife all around, with the waterfront of Cardiff Bay a short distance further. Cardiff Central and Queen Street stations link the arena across the city and region. Staying centrally lets you enjoy the city before a show and stroll back to your room once the night is done, no transport required.
