Boyband fans, we’ve got some news: A Westlife AlUla concert is happening very soon.
That’s right, the Irish boyband featuring Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne is headed to AlUla on Wednesday September 28 to sing some nostalgic ’90s tunes. This marks the first time that Westlife will be performing in Saudi Arabia. The live gig is part of the group’s The Wild Dreams Tour.

The Westlife AlUla concert will take place at the Maraya Venue. So if you’re looking to get in on time, doors w.ill open at 6.30pm with the actual performance beginning at 8.30pm.
If you’re as much of a Westlife fan as us (posters on the wall and all), then you probably know the lyrics by heart. Get ready to sing along to expected classic beats at the Westlife AlUla concert like “You Raise Me up” and “Uptown Girl”. Hummed the tunes? So did we.
Westlife AlUla tickets have just been released with prices starting at SAR330 for general admission. Gold, premium and platinum packages will also be available.
The Kingdom has been quite the concert magnet, with music festivals on the up-rise in various cities. AlUla Moments just announced the lineup for the Maraya Venue event and let’s just say, it’s looking epic.
Following Westlife’s performance, Egyptian superstar Angham will be taking the stage on Thursday October 6 on her first-ever visit to AlUla.
Other musical acts will include Lebanese-Armenian singer and musician, Guy Manoukian who will light up the stage on Friday October 7 followed by Armenian-Spanish violinist and musician Ara Malikian.
Keeping with the theme of firsts, the aforementioned acts will be headed to Saudi Arabia for the first time ever, so you can imagine the excitement on both ends of the spectrum.
You thought that was it? Take advantage of the few days and recharge, because Friday October 14 will see the likes of French-Algerian singer and songwriter Souad Massi. And yes, you guessed it, this will also be a first.
From SAR330. Wed Sep 28. 6.30pm (doors), 8.30 concert, Maraya Venue, AlUla.
