It was a scorching evening in Cork as Westlife took to the stage for their first Páirc Uí Chaoimh gig in their 24-year history.

Páirc Uí Chaoimh was packed with devoted fans willing to brave the heat to see their beloved quartet croon through hit after hit. From Cork city centre to the Marina, there was an almost-hen party feeling in the air as thousands of people made their way to the venue. Light, flowing dresses and denim shorts were the go-to style, with many groups wearing custom matching t-shirts. Friday night was party night in the city and we were ready to dance under the sun.
