Gravity Tour: Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan of Westlife performed last night at the Birmingham LG Arena


Westlife returned to the stage last night by performing at Birmingham’s LG Arena and kept their supporting act within the family.

Kian Egan’s wife Jodi Albert jumped on stage with her girl band Wonderland, who are managed by her husband and Louis Walsh.

Westlife’s concert was the perfect opportunity to raise the Irish girl band’s profile and Shane Filan’s wife and sister were also singing along in the audience.

And Wonderland made sure to steal some attention from the boy band by sporting skin tight leather trousers.

Former Hollyoaks star Jodi was joined on stage by her band mates Sharon Condon, Corrina Durran, Leigh Learmont and Kasey Smith.

They performed their debut single Not a Love Song, which was released last month ahead of their debut album release this summer in June.

After 12 years, 14 number one singles and 11 albums, Westlife’s fans might be a little older these days but their popularity seems just as strong, as screaming fans filled the LG Arena.

Their Birmingham performance was part of their current Gravity Tour that kicked off earlier this month and will see them tour the UK until June 27.

Their stage show boasted flames, ticker tape and a mechanical bench which moved the band over the audience.

Kian, Shane, Nicky Byrne and Mark Feehily belted out some of their biggest hits including Uptown Girl and Flying Without Wings.

They also treated the audience to their upcoming single Starlight as well as an acoustic version of Adele’s Rolling in the Deep.

Westlife’s manager and X Factor judge Louis Walsh also formed Wonderland after holding auditions for the five girl group in 2008.

Kian helped Louis hold the open auditions and they are now co-managers of the band.

After over three thousand hopefuls auditioned in Dublin, the five girls were chosen and reportedly signed a six figure record deal with Mercury Records.

Wonderland also supported Westlife’s Where We Are Tour last year and will join the band throughout the rest of their current Gravity Tour.
