Since forming in 1998, the Irish boyband have sold more than 55 million records worldwide, saw their first seven singles enter the UK chart at No.1 and have achieved 33 No.1 albums worldwide.

With hits such as Flying Without Wings, Swear It Again and World of Our Own, under their belts, fans can expect a night full to the brim with ‘00s pop anthems.

The singing stars are also expected to perform newer material from their 2021 album, Wild Dreams, which saw Shane Filan, Markus Feehily, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne come together once again for their 12th studio album.
