Pop group recognised with Steel Star award ahead of 39th Sheffield show next month!
Last night Westlife took to the stage to perform their 38th show at Utilita Arena Sheffield. To mark the milestone, Westlife were presented with the venue’s Steel Star award in recognition of performing more than 10 times at the venue, alongside personalised Sheffield Steelers shirts to commemorate their long-standing relationship with the city and its audiences.
Westlife have been regular visitors to Sheffield throughout their career, with their latest run of shows forming part of Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour. The tour sees the band celebrating 25 years of music, featuring some of their biggest hits and fan favourites.
For the Arena, their 38th performance marks another milestone in the long history between the band and Sheffield. Westlife first performed at Sheffield Arena in 1998, when they supported Boyzone, and have since gone on to become the venue’s most frequent performers.
Dom Stokes, General Manager at Utilita Arena Sheffield, said:
“Westlife have been coming to Sheffield for many years, so it’s great to be able to celebrate their 38th show here. The Steel Star recognises artists who have performed at the Arena more than 10 times, and Westlife are very deserving recipients. We also wanted to give the band something from Sheffield to mark the occasion, so the personalised Steelers shirts were a great way to do that. And with show number 39 still to come, there’s plenty more to look forward to.”
Westlife will return to Utilita Arena Sheffield on 2 November for their 39th show, final tickets available here.
