Global Superstars Westlife to Perform at Katie TAYLOR’S Croke Park Farewell This Saturday – Live Worldwide on Dazn

What promises to be the greatest night in the history of Irish sport will have a star-studded Irish soundtrack to accompany it with global chart-toppers Westlife officially confirmed as the headline performers for Katie Taylor’s historic farewell fight this Saturday – live worldwide on DAZN and non-exclusively in Ireland on RTÉ.

The London 2012 Olympic Gold Medal hero Taylor bids to sign off her remarkable career as a three-time Undisputed Champion when she takes on France’s undefeated Flora Pili in front of 80,000 fans at Croke Park.

Global superstars Westlife are no strangers to Dublin’s iconic stadium with the band having played in front of sold-out crowds at the home of the Gaelic Athletic Association an astonishing six times.

As one of Ireland’s all-time biggest-selling acts, Westlife have shifted more than 55 million records worldwide, have amassed a staggering 16 UK and Irish No.1 singles – including hits such as Flying Without Wings, Queen of My Heart and You Raise Me Up and have sold over 6 million concert tickets worldwide.

And just days before their worldwide 25th anniversary tour – their biggest global tour to date with over 150 live shows to take place – begins with a ground-breaking 13-night residency at Dublin’s 3Arena next week, the band are thrilled to be by Taylor’s side for her last-ever ring walk.

"We are so honoured to be asked by Katie to perform at this historic night,” said Westlife.

"She has inspired the whole country and we couldn’t be prouder to perform for her at Croke Park, a stadium that also means so much to us."

Further exciting entertainment acts will be announced in due course.

And as a monumental night at Croke Park awaits, delivered by Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing in association with Aiken Promotions and Brian Peters, Fight Week continues today with the Undercard Press Conference.

Taylor vs Pili is sponsored by Title Event Partners Lidl Ireland, along with sponsors Paddy Power, Domino’s Ireland, Everlast, That Prize Guy, Ten Percent Club, ALP and Riyadh Season.
