WESTLIFE back in South Africa!

Westlife will be performing for 45 minutes as special guests of megastar diva Diana Ross at her exclusive LIVE concert at the Bellville Velodrome on November 11.

The concert, which is one of many events happening in South Africa during the Altech South Africa Grand Prix week, is in support of some of South Africa’s worthiest charities, including the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund and Unite Against Hunger.

Relaxed, refreshed and bursting with energy, Westlife, the quiet superstars of the mainstream UK music scene, bounce back with their new album Face To Face. It's a world that they have dominated for seven years and the album features all the hallmarks of that reign – a collection of classic songs and future standards. In brief, Face To Face finds Westlife doing what they've always done best.

After a brief interlude with their Rat Pack album of classic songs sung in the style of Sinatra, Face To Face is Westlife's first collection of new songs since Turnaround topped the charts in 2003.

“I think this album shows that Westlife are back in a big way. It's got the best material we've ever released,” says Shane confidently.

Agrees Nicky: “At the time Turnaround seemed like one of our best albums – and this one feels even better.”

A familiar blend of big ballads and mid-tempo tunes, balanced by the occasional up-tempo song, Face To Face presents Westlife playing to their strengths – passionate vocals and memorable tunes. It's a straightforward formula that's been winning hearts and ears since the dawn of popular music, from the doo-wop days of the Platters, through the timeless harmonies of the Drifters and Coasters, to the slick modern sounds of Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, Take That and Boyzone. But no one's done it with as much success as Westlife – 44 million album sales are testimony to that!

Their much-anticipated new album was released in SA on 1 November and includes a spectacular collaboration with DIVA Diana Ross.
