Pop icons Westlife have officially entered their 25th anniversary season with the release of their new single, "Your Love Amazes Me." The track serves as a poignant preview of their highly anticipated career retrospective, 25 – The Ultimate Collection, scheduled for release on May 8, 2026.
Produced by the heavyweight team of Jamie Scott, Daniel Bryer, and Martin Hannah—known for their work with One Direction and Niall Horan—the new single is a return to the band’s core identity. Built on their signature harmonies, the emotional ballad explores themes of clarity and hope. "It’s wonderful to return to the type of song that many of our fans will remember from our earliest days," the group shared in a joint statement.
The forthcoming album is a comprehensive celebration of a journey that has seen the group become the UK and Ireland’s top-selling album group of the 21st century. The collection will feature 21 beloved hits, including staples like "You Raise Me Up," "Flying Without Wings," and "Uptown Girl," alongside the Ed Sheeran-penned "Chariot" and other brand-new material recorded by all four members: Shane, Nicky, Kian, and Mark.
Following the album release, the band will hit the road for the Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour starting in September 2026. This milestone tour begins with an unprecedented 13-date residency at Dublin’s 3Arena, underlining the group's enduring domestic popularity.
From there, the tour will trek across the UK, visiting major arenas in London, Manchester, and Birmingham, before heading to mainland Europe for the band’s first headline continental run in two decades. Fans can expect a euphoric production spanning a quarter-century of chart-topping hits.
With 14 UK Number 1 singles and over 55 million records sold, Westlife continues to command a massive global presence. Tickets for the tour are currently on sale at LiveNation.co.uk, with the album available for pre-order in multiple formats, including deluxe CD, vinyl picture discs, and cassette.
