Westlife Aviva Stadium expected setlist features nine-song ABBA medley

Westlife play Dublin's Aviva Stadium this Friday and Saturday, July 8 and 9 and their rumoured setlist features some of their biggest hits - as well as a nine-song ABBA tribute.

The band is known for its tributes to big acts, with Westlife's last Dublin shows in Croke Park featuring a tribute to Queen. Kian, Nicky, Shane and Mark have kicked off their Wildest Dreams tour in the UK, having played two gigs in England so far.

Fans there were treated to a string of the Westlife's biggest hits, some of their newer songs and the unexpected nine-song ABBA medley. The medley, which was performed in the middle of the show, blended the Swedish group's most iconic hits including Mamma Mia, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Super Trouper, Money Money Money, Thank You For The Music, Take A Chance On Me, I Have A Dream, Dancing Queen and Waterloo.
