Westlife are clocking milestones like hits on tour, and after writing themselves into the history books in Dublin, they’ve done the same in Belfast.
The lads, Kian Egan, Shane Filan and Nicky Byrne, are currently on their 25th Anniversary Tour, with stops still to come in Paris, Hamburg and Copenhagen.
Sharing an update on Saturday, the band marked the end of the UK and Ireland leg by announcing that they’ve hit a huge milestone.

‘Last night was our 76th show in Belfast, the most by any artist in history, WOW,’ they said alongside a video of the final show on Instagram.
They added: ‘What a perfect way to end the UK and Ireland leg of the tour. Feeling very grateful! Next stop, Paris.’
Westlife kicked off the 25th Anniversary world tour in Dublin, performing a record-breaking 13-date run at the 3Arena.

By the end of the shows, the band had performed a whopping 82 times at the venue.
Chatting about the residency and tour in May, Shane said: ‘It’s always special coming back to Ireland, back to Dublin. We’re Irish, we’re very proud Irish lads, so it’s always special.

‘That’s why we wanted to kick off the world tour with the residency. This tour is going to go on for about two years, but we’re starting in Dublin, getting off to a good start with the Irish crowds.’
Kian added: ‘It’s just an honour; the whole thing feels like an honour. 25 years touring and 82 shows in this building, the fans around the country just continuously showing us support and love.’
