15,000 Vietnamese fans flock to watch Westlife on tour
VOV.VN - A total of 15,000 Westlife fans packed out Thong Nhat Stadium in District 10 on November 21 as they chanted the names of the Irish boy band and sang along with their idols at a concert held as part of The Wild Dreams Tour.
During their performance the four-man band played their sweetest love songs, many of which were popular with Vietnamese audiences in the 1990s and 2000s, such as Seasons In The Sun, Mandy, Fool Again, Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You, Starlight, Uptown Girl, and When You're Looking Like That.
They also thrilled local audiences with covers of ABBA’s hits, including Mamma Mia, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Money Money Money, Take a Chance on Me, I Have a Dream, Dancing Queen, Waterloo, and Thank You for the Music.
Vietnamese fans expressed their love for Westlife with chants, light sticks, and flashlights from their mobile phones.
Westlife traveled to the nation for the first time to perform at the My Dinh Stadium in Hanoi back in 2011 as part of their Westlife Gravity Tour.
Originally formed in Dublin in the Republic of Ireland in 1998, the band consists of Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan, and Nicky Byrne. Brian McFadden, who had been the fifth member of the band, left in 2004.
After a 14-year career the band disbanded in 2012 before then reuniting in 2018.
The band has sold 55 million records worldwide and holds four Guinness World Records. Westlife have also received numerous accolades, including one World Music Award, two Brit Awards, four MTV Awards, and four Record of the Year Awards.
