The announcement follows the release of additional tickets for Westlife’s February 11 concert at Gelora Bung Karno Madya Stadium in Jakarta on December 10. Tickets for that concert sold out earlier this year, prompting the band to announce three additional concerts in Indonesia for 2022.

They first performed at the Sentul International Convention Center on September 24, followed by the second showcase the next day at the Jatim International Expo Surabaya. The third outing was held on October 2 at Candi Prambanan Yogyakarta.

The concerts are part of the group’s The Wildest Dreams tour, which is currently moving through Europe and the UK. Concerts in the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore have also been announced as part of the tour. Westlife’s shows at that last city are particularly notable, with the Irish boyband laying claim to the title of the first international band to play at the Singapore Indoor Stadium for three nights in a row.

Westlife will perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on February 16, 17 and 18 before heading to the Araneta Coliseum in Manila on February 20. They then perform at Malaysia’s Axiata Arena this February 22 and 23.

The group released their 12th studio album ‘Wildest Dreams’ in November last year. The album includes hit tracks ‘Alone Together’, ‘My Hero’ and ‘Starlight’.

On their most recent outing in Asia in 2019, Westlife played four shows in Indonesia and one in Manila to celebrate their 20th anniversary.
