In september 2026 trappen Shane, Nicky en Kian hun wereldtournee af met dertien (!) shows in hun thuisland, Ierland. Daarna trekken ze de wereld rond met een show vol onvergetelijke hits &ndash; van tijdloze ballads tot wereldwijde nummer 1-singles.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">De festiviteiten begonnen dit voorjaar met nieuwe muziek en een verzamelalbum vol fanfavorieten. In oktober kwam de nieuwe single<strong> &lsquo;</strong>Chariot<strong>&rsquo;</strong> uit &ndash; geschreven door Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid en Will Reynolds, en mede-geschreven en geproduceerd door Steve Mac. Het nummer is een muzikaal eerbetoon aan 25 jaar vriendschap, liefde en verbondenheid met hun fans. <strong>&lsquo;Chariot&rsquo;</strong> is te horen op het nieuwe album &lsquo;<em><strong>25 &ndash; The Ultimate Collection</strong></em><em>&rsquo;</em>, dat in februari uitkwam. Het album bundelt 21 fanfavorieten, waaronder <em>&lsquo;You Raise Me Up&rsquo;</em>, <em>&lsquo;Uptown Girl&rsquo;</em> en <em>&lsquo;Flying Without Wings&rsquo;</em>, aangevuld met gloednieuw materiaal van alle vier de bandleden. Fans zullen in november dus kunnen genieten van zowel nieuwe nummers als nostalgische meezingers.</p><blockquote style=\"text-align: left\"><em>&ldquo;Dit jaar is het 25 jaar geleden dat we samen aan deze ongelooflijke reis begonnen, en het voelt nog steeds alsof we pas aan het begin staan,&rdquo; </em>zegt Westlife.<em> &ldquo;De steun van onze fans is overweldigend. Om dit jubileum te vieren met een wereldtournee, nieuwe muziek en een nieuw album voelt ontzettend bijzonder. We kunnen niet wachten om samen met jullie dit nieuwe hoofdstuk te beleven.&rdquo;</em></blockquote><p style=\"text-align: left\">Met meer dan <strong>55 miljoen verkochte platen, </strong>14 Britse nummer 1-hits, 36 nummer 1-albums wereldwijd en meer dan 6 miljoen verkochte concerttickets, blijft Westlife een van de meest succesvolle popgroepen aller tijden. Hun muziek werd wereldwijd meer dan 3 miljard keer gestreamd en de groep blijft geliefd bij generaties fans.</p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/f7af2abf-8245-4126-a82f-dd256c1c6780/-/format/auto/\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"\"\n                id=\"image-f7af2abf-8245-4126-a82f-dd256c1c6780\"\n                data-id=\"f7af2abf-8245-4126-a82f-dd256c1c6780\"\n                data-original=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/f7af2abf-8245-4126-a82f-dd256c1c6780/-/inline/no/Westlife-portrait-sportpaleis.jpg\"\n                data-mfp-src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/f7af2abf-8245-4126-a82f-dd256c1c6780/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\"Story image\"\n            />\n            <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover__caption\">\n                <svg class=\"icon icon-expand image-thumbnail-rollover__caption-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-expand\"></use>\n            </svg>            </div>\n        </div>\n\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\"></figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<div class=\"release-content-contact\" id=\"contact-25b74835-f6b0-4654-acf7-9e5256a92b17\">\n    \n    <div class=\"release-content-contact__details\">\n        <strong class=\"release-content-contact__name\">Suzan De Paepe</strong>\n        <em class=\"release-content-contact__description\">Marketing &amp; PR Manager</em>\n        <ul class=\"release-content-contact__details-list\"><li class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item\"><a href=\"mailto:suzan@greenhousetalent.be\"  class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item-link\" title=\"suzan@greenhousetalent.be\"><svg class=\"icon icon-paper-plane release-content-contact__details-list-item-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-paper-plane\"></use>\n            </svg>suzan@greenhousetalent.be</a></li>\n<li class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item\"><a href=\"https://www.greenhousetalent.com/benl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item-link\" title=\"greenhousetalent.com/benl\"><svg class=\"icon icon-browser release-content-contact__details-list-item-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-browser\"></use>\n            </svg>greenhousetalent.com/benl</a></li></ul>\n    </div>\n</div><p>&nbsp;</p>",
