I was as excited as always to see Westlife back in Cardiff and I had high expectations for a good night out – they didn’t let me down.
The show kicked off with No One’s Gonna Sleep Tonight from their newest album Gravity and they followed this with a mix of ballads and up-tempo songs from both the old days and the present.
There were some pretty interesting sets for this first section; part of the stage rose up and had a large screen showing images of an elephant underwater followed later by fish and hot air balloons. Elsewhere on stage there were giant inflatable apples and hot air balloons fit with baskets – all very random, but interesting to watch.
Later in the show there were some cool cityscapes in the background, some electric streaks, brightly coloured lips and legs and giant inflatable lips dangling from the top of the set! And of course there were fireworks! Whatever you want to say about these guys, their shows are never boring!
The medley was incredible once again this year; I always look forward to this part of the set.
This year we were treated to covers of Coldplay’s Viva La Vida, Rihanna’s Only Girl, Black Eyed Pea’s Time of My Life, Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance and Kaiser Chiefs I Predict a Riot – what a strange mix, but the result was pretty damn good! The Disney T-shirts Westlife had on for this really made me smile too.

Westlife took to the air on a large beam for part of the last section and this was definitely the highlight of the night for me (and probably for the majority of fans in the arena!) The lads came right out over the seating area of the CIA whilst singing Seasons in the Sun, You Raise Me Up and Already There – three beautiful songs for such an amazing part of the set. I just love it when Westlife come over the audience like that - seeing them up so close turns me into a giddy teenager in an instant!
They closed the show with What About Now and Uptown Girl and another concert was over for another year all too quickly.
See you next year lads!
