Westlife have announced that they will play a second date at Cork's Pairc Ui Chaoimh due to 'phenomenal' demand for tickets.
Cork Beo reports that the extra date was announced minutes before tickets for their initial gig on Friday 28 August gig went on sale.
Tickets for both dates Friday 28th August and Saturday 29th August priced from €59.50 including booking fees are on now at Ticketmaster.
Shane Filan added on Twitter: "We’ve just added a 2nd show in Cork for you all, Sat 29th August On sale NOW."
Tickets are expected to still sell-out in just minutes with fans flocking to Ticketmaster to grab their elusive pieces of paper.
These two spectacular concerts will see the global pop kings perform their greatest hits including 'Swear It Again', ‘Flying Without Wings’ and ‘You Raise Me Up’ as well as sensational uptempo new songs from their forthcoming album ‘Spectrum’ such as ‘Hello My Love’, ‘Better Man’ and ‘Dynamite’.
It will be the first time, in the band’s 20-year career, that Westlife have headlined Páirc Uí Chaoimh Stadium and follows the phenomenal success of their comeback which has seen the nation fall in love with the Irish superstars all over again.
Westlife fever captured Ireland and the UK this summer with the release of hit new music and their fastest-selling tour of all time. Last Friday, Westlife announced they will headline Wembley Stadium, London, UK on 22 August, making them the second only Irish act alongside U2 to achieve this.
