WESTLIFE gigs have been voted the hottest events in the history of Belfast's Odyssey Arena.
The boyband beat rivals Take That whose concerts were second on a list of the venue's top 10 shows - with Justin Timberlake sliding into third place.
To mark the centre's seventh birthday Odyssey bosses ran a survey last month to find out which events had been most popular with the people of Northern Ireland.
Legends Lionel Richie and Rod Stewart also made it into the top 10 alongside Bangor band Snow Patrol.
Three quarters of voters said they had visited the Arena more than 10 times since its doors opened in 2000.
Family events and ice hockey were the second most popular events after concerts. Canadian singer Celine Dion was named as the artist most people wanted to hear raise the roof in the Odyssey.
Robbie Williams, Bon Jovi and Boyzone also appeared on the wishlist - and luckily the boyband have announced two dates in May.
Odyssey chief Nicky Dunn said: "We are delighted with the feedback. The outstanding success of the Arena since it opened in 2000 has been truly overwhelming - we have welcomed almost four 4 million people through our doors in that time."
