It might have rained on the four Irish superstars but the crowd could not get enough of the World's best boy band in action.
They have played some of the biggest arenas going - and can now add Bitts Park to their list.
Westlife did not fail to disappoint (I think they might've meant they didn't disapoint!! lol) the 15,000 fans who endured the rain to watch them in Carlisle last night.
The Irish heart-throbs - Mark Feehily, Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan - took a berak from the studio especially to perform in the city and were eager to please.
They flew in on Eddie Stobart owner Andrew Tinkler's private jet and flew immediately back to London after the gig.
Speaking as they made their way towards the stage, Kian said: "Tonight is a one-off show. We finished our tour back in April.
"We are just going to be going out on stage and singing some of our biggest hits. Hopefully everyone out there will enjoy it as much as we do."
And if the reaction of the crowd as the world's biggest boy band took to the stage was anything to go by, it certainly was.
After all, it takes a lot to get thousands of soaking wet Cumbrians - male and female, young and old - dancing and swaying on a Sunday night.
Some hardy fans had travelled from across Europe - with one banner boasting "Germany loves Westlife" - and the verdict was that it was well worth the trip.
The crowd went wild as the boys, dressed in smart blue suits, took to the stage as the heavens opened and started with When You're Looking Like That.
They were just as excited when it was followed up by My Love, Swear It Again, Mandy then Uptown Girl.
Unbreakable unfortunately proved to be a rather ironic title for their next song when Shane forgot the words and was full of apologies to the crowd, who helped the boys get back on track.
If I Let You Go and Flying Without Wings followed before Mark revealed to the crowd that he had stayed with friends in Carlisle the previous night and thought the city was "a cool place".
The lads were perched on their trademark stools as they sang You Raise Me Up to round-off their set.
Chants of "Westlife, Westlife, Westlife" and "We want more" brought them back out to wind-up with World of Our Own.
Fireworks illuminated the skies as Westlife left the stage. The big question on everyone's lips was, however, which big names will follow them to Carlisle?
