Westlife returning to New Zealand for the first time in 20 years
Westlife will return to New Zealand for the first time in 20 years, announcing shows for an audience that grew up with the group.
The Irish band has continued to tour successfully in Europe and Asia, drawing on a catalogue of hits from the late 1990s and 2000s.
Promoters expect strong demand given the length of the gap since their last visit.
Ticket details were released alongside the announcement.
