Westlife return with a bang as they kick off reunion tour in Belfast's SSE Arena

Westlife announced their return to music with a bang last night as they kicked off their reunion tour in Belfast.

Proving to fans that the seven year wait was well worth it, Shane, Nicky, Mark and Kian were greeted by thousands of screaming fans who at several points of the night almost lifted the roof off the SSE Arena with the noise levels, Belfast Live reports.

Thrilling fans with their new singles Hello My Love and Better Man as well as old favourites including Swear It Again, Flying Without Wings and World of Our Own the boys had the largely female audience on their feet from start to finish.

It was a homecoming of sorts for the boyband who hold the record for the most shows EVER at SSE Arena and with the reception they got from fans on Wednesday night it's not hard to see why Belfast was top of the bill to relaunch their career with The Twenty tour.

With four more nights at SSE this week, it's fair to say Belfast is Queen of their Hearts.
