VietNamNet Bridge – The Irish boyband will bring its “Gravity Tour” to Hanoi’s My Dinh National Stadium on October 1.
The show organizers, An Thuan Media and Alatca Media, on August 31, announced official information about the “Gravity Tour” on October 1.

The band will perform 20 songs, including its hits like “Swear It Again”, “My Love” and “If I Let You Go”. The tour tickets will price from VND350,000 to VND1 million. Tickets will be sold in three weeks of September, on website http://www.westlife.com.vn/ or at MegaStar Vincom, MegaStar Picomall and Boo City, 308 Ba Trieu Street, Hanoi.

The ticket prices for the Westlife show are much lower than those of foreign artists’ shows in Vietnam this year, such as Super Junior or Backstreet Boys.

“Though we suffered losses from some previous shows of foreign singers, we still try to bring a worldwide famous band to Vietnam. We also try to offer reasonable prices for Vietnamese audiences to enable as many as fans to have chance to see and enjoy Westlife’s songs,” said producer Vu Anh Tuan.

“We want to build up the habit to buy tickets in Vietnam so in the future, organizers can bring world famous artists to Vietnam and we will be in the ‘map’ of performance in Asia,” he added.

The Gravity Tour is the eleventh concert tour by Westlife. The tour will support their eleventh studio album, Gravity. The tour visits Europe, Asia and Africa. In Asia, destinations include: China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and South Korea.
