Westlife played the first two of their four dates in Ireland as part of The Wild Dreams Tour.
Over 90,000 fans of the band attended their concert in the Aviva Stadium over the weekend.
The four stadium shows are of major significance to the entertainment industry as the concerts are the largest ones using all Irish artists, shows, crews, and companies. This provides direct and indirect employment throughout the sector.
The Aviva concert at the weekend will have generated over €50 million in revenue for the Irish economy, providing a huge boost after the pandemic.
Tickets were purchased across 27 different countries, from China to Mexico.
There are two more shows still to come, which will be on August 12th and 13th in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
Tickets are still available on Ticketmaster.
