Westlife fans can watch their Wembley concert live - at cinemas in Milton Keynes

The concert will be broadcast live via satellite into the city’s Cineworld and ODEON cinemas on Saturday August 6.

Now Irish heart-throbs Shane, Nicky, Mark and Kian are inviting fans who couldn’t get concert tickets to gather in their local cinema and share the live experience.

They said: “Without a doubt, Wembley stadium will be a career high and a real ‘pinch yourself’ moment in our lives.

“August 6th will be the biggest show we have ever undertaken in the UK and all under the arch of one of the world’s most iconic venues. To now announce that the show will be screened live in cinemas right across the UK, Ireland and Europe, allowing our fans who won’t be there on the night to enjoy it in real time too is something really special for us.

“We will be giving Wembley everything we’ve got on the night with all of our greatest hits included .. It really is going to be incredible.”

The screenings, called Westlife – Live From Wembley Stadium. will be presented by CinemaLive, who are leading producers and distributors of event cinema.
