All the lads.

Later this year, Westlife will play a string of Croke Park dates to mark their delicious return into the public’s hearts, minds, and psyche.

The lead up to these gigs has been fairly extravagant as Westlife drip feed fans a song here, an album release there in the hopes that they won’t forget all about them by the time the summer gigs roll around.

Fairly unlikely, but hey, it’s tough out there, we appreciate the concern.

Today, Westlife confirmed who will be joining them for their Croke Park shows on July 5 and 6 and in fairness, they’ve picked a decent bunch of lads so you probably won’t be disappointed.

X Factor winner and chronic DM slider James Arthur will support the lads on both nights with Wild Youth also appearing as special guests.

And as if that wasn’t enough info to get absolutely pumped about, extra tickets for both nights in Croke Park are also going on sale this week.

Now you’ve no excuse not to be going, in fairness.

This comes after Westlife announced that they were going to live stream one of their Croke Park gigs in select cinemas.

Really giving everyone a chance to go and see them, aren’t they?

The extra tickets for the Twenty Tour go on sale this Friday, May 10 at 9am from Ticketmaster and other ticket outlets.
