AFTER EIGHT LONG years, Westlife are returning to the stage next summer – as a four-piece they hastened to add at a press conference earlier this week.
Tickets went on sale for dates across the UK and Ireland this morning, and anyone who loves a good key change was ready and waiting to part with their hard-earned cash.
Unfortunately, technical difficulties seemed to have gotten between fans and the foursome, meaning many were left devastated as error messages thwarted their best intentions.
If you’re among those bitterly disappointed this morning, you might find solace in your friends – both here and across the pond – below.

@TicketmasterCS absolutely raging. I have never slated ticketmaster before but I tried to buy tickets at the checkout 7 times and it kept saying error. So now I’ve lost my tickets because of you’re mistake! #westlife

@TicketmasterIre is am I meant to get tickets when it puts me in a queue then doesn’t load for 20 mins? Seriously something not right with the systems. #westlife

All may not be lost however!
In the last few moments, Westlife have announced that they have added a second date in Croke Park.
Due to phenomenal demand, we have added a second date in Croke Park, Dublin on 6th July! pic.twitter.com/TkfEmm6xVl
