The pop group Westlife will perform at the Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth, Dorset, on Wednesday, 14 October 2026. The concert is part of the band’s 25th anniversary world tour and is expected to bring thousands of fans to the town, providing extra trade for local hotels and restaurants.

The performance will take place in the Windsor Hall, which has space for around 6,500 people during standing shows. The tour celebrates two and a half decades of the band’s career and follows the release of their latest album, 25 – The Ultimate Collection, which arrived in February 2026.

Band members Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, and Kian Egan are set to tour as a trio while Mark Feehily takes a break to recover from health problems. The event gives local fans the chance to see the group in an intimate setting compared to larger venues like The O2 in London.

Business leaders in the town expect the mid-week concert to increase bookings for overnight stays and evening dining. This visit to the South Coast is part of a wider international tour that also includes a 13-night residency in Dublin.
