Preview by Jack Foley
AFTER a staggering 10 years at the top of the UK charts, pop stars Westlife release a live DVD of their massive Croke Park stadium concert, through Syco/Sony BMG on November 24 (2008).
On June 1, 2008, Westlife returned to their home country of Ireland to play the biggest concert of their career to date.
Fresh from the success of their massive Back Home world tour, the band played to a sell-out, 82,500 strong crowd at Croke Park Stadium, Dublin in honour of Westlife’s 10th anniversary. It proved to be a truly unforgettable occasion for Kian, Mark, Nicky and Shane and their fans.
The DVD captures the emotion, intensity, spirit and magical moments of the concert and is a must have for any fans that want a true reminder of this very special day.
The DVD also features a 30-minute behind-the-scenes documentary, The Road Home, allowing up close and personal access to the world’s biggest boy band.
Fans will get to see Westlife in the lead-up to the concert, preparing, planning and rehearsing for the greatest show of their lives. Also featured are the Top 10 Westlife videos as voted for by the fans on westlife.com.
Few pop bands can compare to Westlife’s remarkable success. In their 10 years, they have sold over 40 million records globally.
In the UK alone they have scored nine multi-platinum albums and a record breaking 14 No.1 hits (behind only Elvis and The Beatles).
Westlife have also picked up innumerable awards and appeared on hundreds of magazine covers around the world. They are the only recording artists to win the prestigious ‘Record Of The Year’ an incredible four times (other top awards include two BRITS and an MTV Europe Award).
Westlife are also the biggest selling UK Arena act ever, holding the record for the most concerts held at Wembley Arena, an incredible 27. In celebration of this, March of this year saw the band immortalised in Wembley’s Square of Fame with a plaque of their handprints, joining such legends as Madonna, George Michael, Kylie and Dolly Parton.
