Westlife To Play Croke Mega Gig – 4 May 2007 WESTLIFE want to thrill 80,000 fans at Croke Park next summer to celebrate their 10th anniversary. The pop stars are planning the monumental show to follow in the footsteps of U2, Robbie Williams and Garth Brooks by selling out the Dublin venue. Singer Shane Filan, 27, revealed: "We have been thinking about a great way to celebrate the 10th birthday and Croke Park would be perfect. Growing up it has always been a mysterious and historical stadium and we'd love to sell it out. "We have done Lansdowne Road and that was amazing but this would be the ultimate thrill. "There are talks at the minute to see if it's possible and we will be taking it from there. "Hopefully we can pack Croke Park next summer and it would be our finest hour." The stars completed a 12-night stint at the Point last night and will now take a two-month break before returning to the studios. Their latest tour has been one of their most popular with more than 200,000 fans attending the shows. Promoters believe they can turn Croker into an all-seater venue for the night. One top promoter said: "This would be Westlife's greatest night and the ultimate homecoming show. "We have no doubt the tickets would shift quickly and the lads would have a night to remember. "It will be a show packed with their greatest hits to celebrate 10 years at the top of the pop business." Credit/Source: Thanx Gitta at www.nishakimabry.de.vu
