Thousands of Westlife fans flocked to My Dinh National Stadium on Oct. 1 night to chant the names of the Irish boy band and sing along with their idols.

Among songs from the latest album, Gravity, Westlife also performed some hit songs that brought the boy band to the list of the world’s most popular artists, including “My love” and “Season in the sun”.

The band said they decided just three weeks before the trip to Vietnam to add “My love” as a gift to their Vietnamese audience after finding out that the song is the most popular with local fans.

Westlife kept the promise to their fans as they not only showed off their sweetest love songs but also more exciting music with the cover of five songs, including Viva La Vida (Coldplay), Only Girl (Rihanna), The Time (Black Eyed Peas), Bad Romance (Lady Gaga) and I Predict A Riot (Kaiser Chiefs).

The four well-dressed men – Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne, Shane Filan and Kian Egan, though all exceeding their 30s, still made many young fans bursting into tears with their music and friendliness.
Vietnamese fans expressed their love to Westlife with shouts and flash lights from their mobile phones.

“We are very surprised by the warm welcome of the Vietnamese fans here. It brings many fresh emotions for all four of us. You give us a feeling of being in our 20s. We wonder why we have not been to this country for the last 14 years,” Shane said at a press conference before the show.

“Westlife will return to Vietnam,” Mark promised./.
