Westlife roll out Red Carpet Tour dates

Westlife announced details of their new arena tour today.

The Irish band will play 12 dates in February and March next year.

In London they will become the first band to play the Wembley Arena Pavilion, a temporary 10,000-seat structure to be used while the Arena undergoes refurbishment.

The band – Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne, Shane Filan and Mark Feehily – were at Wembley to announce the Red Carpet Tour.

It will be their second tour since the departure of bandmate Brian McFadden in March.

They will perform songs from their forthcoming Rat Pack album, Allow Us To Be Frank, which is released on November 8.
