Back Home tour (3/2008)
Concert Review
London O2

(newhamrecorder.co.uk)

The atmosphere was electric at London's newest and biggest venue, The O2, as my daughter and I eagerly awaited the arrival of Westlife on stage for their 10th anniversary tour - the Back Home Tour. I have always been a massive fan and have followed their success over the past 10 years. Having seen them in concert seven times already, I knew we would not be disappointed.

The show started at 8.30pm and the stage was set up with the live band on show, numerous large screens and lots of laser-style lights. As the an array of lights blasted on, Shane, Nicky, Kian and Mark arrived on stage looking gorgeous in black boiler suits, leather gloves and aviator sunglasses.

They began the show with 'Hit You With The Real Thing' and then launched into a number of new songs, old favourites and cover tracks including World of Our Own, Home, Us Against the World, If I Let You Go, Mandy, Uptown Girl, When You're Looking Like That and, my favourite, Flying Without Wings. For the next two hours, we were on our feet, singing, dancing and having a great time.

I really enjoyed the medley of Justin Timberlake, Wham!, Kool and the Gang, Jackson 5 and Robbie Williams' tracks. I also loved the acoustic set which featured the talented Kian playing the guitar while all four sang without any further accompaniment. At 10pm the foursome said their goodbyes and left the stage before returning to do three encores. Before their final song, the tune from the film Titanic began and Westlife emerged from beneath the stage, dressed in white, and sang You Raise Me Up - this was a lovely end to a great show.
