McFadden may share O2 bill with Westlife

Former Westlife member Brian McFadden could be on the same bill as his old colleagues in Ireland’s biggest free concert if his schedule allows it.

As Westlife were confirmed as the main headline act for the 02 in the Park concert in Phoenix Park, a spokeswoman for Brian McFadden said he had plenty of reasons to perform at the gig attended by 100,000 fans.

“It has been put out there but the question is if it can be slotted in,” a spokesperson for Brian said.

“With his band Franklin playing and his wife Kerry doing backstage interviews he has an added reason to make his way there.”

Over 100,000 music lovers have already snapped up the tickets to watch around 20 acts perform in the gigantic open air gig.

Some of the other acts, who will each take to the stage on September 4 for around 15 minutes each, include Girls Aloud, boy band Blue, Mark Geary, Belinda Cherry, Bellefire, Picturehouse, Aslan and Luke Thomas.

Twenty-four-year-old McFadden’s first single Real To Me will hit the record shops on September 3 – the day before the concert.

Last March Brian quit the successful boy band, which had hit number one in the charts with their first seven singles, to spend more time with his family.
