Rylan, Alan Carr and more big names set to attend Westlife's sell-out Wembley gig

Mark Feehily says performing at Wembley Stadium is "a dream come true" ahead of Westlife 's sell-out gig this weekend.

The singer, 42, has teased fans that Saturday night's "show will be extra special", as a whole host of big name celebrities prepare to see the iconic band's first-ever Wembley Stadium show.

Big Westlife fans Rylan Clark, Judge Rinder, Jonathan Ross and Alan Carr are all expected to be in attendance when the band take to the stage for their milestone performance.

"Headlining Wembley Stadium is a dream come true for all of us," the band have said ahead of the gig.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we’re incredibly excited for a show which will be different and more spectacular than anything we’ve ever done before.

"This is the biggest show we've done in our lives. Performing at Wembley Stadium is a real dream come true for all of us," he admitted.

"After more than two decades together it is unbelievable. It is going to be a massive party and huge celebration of everything Westlife has achieved.

It will be the first time, in the band’s 20-year career, that Westlife have headlined Wembley Stadium and follows the phenomenal success of their comeback which has seen the nation fall in love with the Irish superstars all over again.

Westlife stormed onto the pop scene back in the late 1990s, with their first single – Swear It Again – topping the charts in both the UK and Ireland. The band followed it with 17 more number one hits – a record beaten only by Elvis Presley and The Beatles.

As a live act Westlife have sold more than five million concert tickets worldwide.

Singer-songwriter James Morrison and girl group All Saints will be supporting the boy as special guests on Saturday night.
