POP superstars Westlife are set to bring their greatest hits to Colchester’s Castle Park at a concert tonight.

Westlife, comprised of singers Shane Filan, Markus Feehily, Kian Egan, and Nicky Byrne, will take to the stage at Castle Park on July 2 as part of their Wild Dreams tour.

They are set perform their greatest hits, such as Swear It Again, World Of Our Own, and Flying Without Wings.

The band will also play newer anthems from their most recent album Wild Dreams, which features tracks co-written with the likes of Ed Sheeran and Amy Wadge.

Louisa Johnson, who was crowned the winner of the X Factor in 2015 when she was just 17, will take to the Castle Park stage as the support act.

Since her legendary and historic victory on the primetime Saturday night show, the vocalist has worked with a variety of famous producers, such as Clean Bandit.

Speaking following the announcement of their Colchester gig, Westlife said: “We are incredibly excited to announce news of The Wild Dreams Tour.

“It feels like things are finally starting to return to normal and we can’t wait to enjoy that feeling with our amazing fans.

“After the last 18 months, this tour means more to us than any that we’ve ever done before.

“It will be a massive celebration and will bring us closer to our fans than ever before.

“We’re planning some spectacular shows which will include all of our greatest hits and some special surprises.”

Formed in 1998, Westlife have since enjoyed global success, registering seven Number One studio albums in the UK and 14 chart-topping singles.

To date, they have sold a staggering 55 million records, making them the biggest selling act of the 2000s, and shifted more than ten million singles.

The band had been due to perform in Colchester back in 2020 but this was delayed due to the pandemic.

Gates open at 4pm for the show on Saturday.

Pre-paid parking will be at Kings Meadow, off Catchpool Road.

Other parking is available at Priory Street and Leisure World.

Park and ride buses will also be in operation.

Attendees are advised they cannot bring in professional cameras or video cameras and must not bring chairs or blankets.

No glasses can be brought into the concert but refillable water bottles are allowed.

Umbrellas can be used if raining but must be put down for the performance.
