The Home For Christmas shows go on sale on Friday, September 16 at 9am via Ticketmaster.
The in demand band are fresh off the buzz of playing sold out Irish, UK and worldwide shows which included Aviva Stadium, Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Wembley Stadium.
The band are going on to tour Asia followed by more UK arena dates.
The announcement comes after Nicky revealed he was stepping back from his hosting duties on RTE’s Dancing with the Stars due to commitments with Westlife.
Nicky explained he was gutted to be leaving the show, saying: "This tour continues now taking us around the world including five continents with 60 plus shows up until Summer 2023.
"So with all this in mind, I have had to make some tough decisions. One of them is my future hosting ‘Dancing with the Stars’ on RTÉ - a show I have loved hosting from the very beginning.
