WESTLIFE - THE WHERE WE ARE TOUR
08/02/2010
Irish pop group sensation, WESTLIFE are the second band confirmed for the Sandown Park Music Nights this summer. Performing live after racing on Thursday 5th August, the crowds will be able to enjoy hits from their latest album ‘Where we are’ as well as a mix of their classic songs.
Westlife, who are starting a UK summer tour this year called ‘The Where we are Tour’, is made up of Mark Feehily, Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne. The group is the only act in UK history to have their first seven singles go straight to Number 1 and have since gone on to sell over 45 million records worldwide. It further been announced they are the "second biggest selling artist" and the "biggest selling band of the decade" in the UK.
The band took a year off in 2008 after an unprecedented run of 14 number one singles, 10 chart-topping albums, and a sequence of yearly record-breaking, pyrotechnically astonishing and fan-delighting stadium tours.
Spending much of 2009 hidden away in studios across Europe and the US, Westlife have been quietly creating their most exciting album to date. ‘Where We Are’ features work from pop’s finest craftsmen, including Grammy nominated Ryan Tedder (Leona Lewis, Beyonce) Steve Robson (James Morrison, Take That) Steve Booker (Duffy) Louis Biancaniello and Sam Watters (Whitney Houston, Anastacia.) and Shaznay Lewis, who co-writes a track with band member Mark Feehily.
Shane Filan of Westlife says “We’ve been experimenting with a fresh vibe on this record, working with new producers and writing songs for the album ourselves. After eleven years we see this as phase two of the Westlife story.”
Westlife are at peak performance, match fit and ready for the second chapter of their incredible history!
