Face to face tonight with Westlife


TONIGHT, I’m going to make it up to you/Tonight, I’m going to make love to you/Tonight, you’re going to know how much I missed you, baby…"



Those lines from their hit single "Tonight" (which topped the charts in the Philippines soon after its release in 2003) pretty much sum up Westlife’s feelings towards their performance tonight (Sept. 4) at 8 at the Araneta Coliseum, dubbed "Westlife Face to Face in Manila."

This is one of the year’s most eagerly-anticipated shows because it is their first trip back to the Philipines after nearly half a decade spent touring other countries. As such, the band is eager to come face to face again with their Philippine audience. The show is a production of Viva Concerts and reaffirms the close ties between Westlife and its Filipino fans.

The Philippines has always held a special place in the band’s heart. The love their rabid Filipino fanbase has showered them with has translated into massive record sales, soldout concerts, and many hit singles – among them "World of Our Own," "Bob Bop Baby," and "Unbreakable," all of which went to number one in the Philippines.

To get an idea of how much love their fanbase has given them over the years, picture this: The last time Westlife was in Manila, some of their fans, mostly females, hoping to catch a glimpse of them in the elevator or on the premises, went ang booked themselves rooms in the hotel where they were billetted. As such, Crowne Plaza Hotel – their official residence for the Manila leg of their "Face to Face" tour – is already anticipating a similar incident this time around.

However, while they will be performing all their old hits with a few new surprises thrown in for good measure, there will be something different about Westlife.

This time around, their fans will encounter a new Westlife, because the last time they were in Manila, Byan McFadden was still part of the band. When Bryan quit the band to pursue a solo career, everyone thought it was the end of Westlife.

But the boys weren’t going to give up that easily. Less than a month after Bryan’s departure, Westlife kicked off its fourth arena tour. They released "Allow Us to Be Frank," a Rat Pack-inspired album, later in the year. The first single from "Allow Us to Be Frank," a cover of the classic "Ain’t That a Kick in the Head," also went to number one in the Philippines.

Last year – after a well-deserved four-month break – they came back with "You Raise Me Up," a cover of a "Secret Garden" song, the first single off their current album "Face to Face." In November 2005, both the album and the single were at number one in the UK charts, making Westlife the number one in the world. It was the first time ever that the band had held both top album and single positions in the same week.

For tickets to Westlife’s "Face to Face," presented by PLDT My Music, Nautical Watches, and Skechers and sponsored in part by Time Depot, PCSO, E-aji, Araneta Center, and Video City, call 911-5555 or go to any SM Ticketnet outlets or the Araneta Coliseum box office.
