Westlife also released Chariot, a brand-new single written by Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid and Will Reynolds and co-written and produced by Steve Mac.

Arriving as a special release for fans to mark 25 years of music and memories, Chariot is a powerful, life-affirming anthem that celebrates love, family and the moments that truly matter.

Westlife said: “This year marks 25 years since we started this incredible journey together and it still feels like only the beginning. The support from our fans has been unbelievable, and to celebrate with this world tour, new music, and a brand-new album feels truly special. We can’t wait to see you all on the road and share this next chapter together.”

The lads have also revealed that they are going on a world tour following their 15 nights in Ireland.
