9th February, Newcastle Telewest Arena

On the screens we saw the Earth... and the camera zooms out so that we're slowly seeing the planets go by. Then we focus in on one bright star and then... the screens show a man walking down a dark corridor accompanied by alien type beings and at the end of the corridor there is  a door  and behind the door.. a white room with 5 hospital-type beds arranged in a circle  and lying on them was the ultimately sexy and gorges Westlife except their eyes are covered with a bandage and we see on the screen that they have no heartbeat the doctor picks up his electric shock revival and thankfully revives all of Westlife before it is to late. Shane is revived first and we see their heartbeats appear on the screen, as Westlife blearily open their eyes. We then see Westlife walking  down the corridor and the scene fades out, the scene is then replaced by green letters falling down the screen (just like in the Matrix.)
and the screen displays

Knock Knock

Are You Ready To Dream...?

Do Dreams Come True...?


The pillars revolve around again and the spotlights come on to reveal Westlife dressed in alien type space suits, standing on the pillars. And then BANG! fireworks and Westlife abseil down to the stage
And as they sing they do the robot break dance  along with their dancers, who are dressed in white alien costumes then undress Westlife (Damn that was suppose to be my job) except underneath Westlife are wearing these white alien suits too, with grey patterns on them The song merges into No No and Westlife are still dancing, and still looking as fine as ever, and still singing live,

Bryan tells us "Sorry but we're cutting the show short tonight, we're only having 2 songs because Kian's got diahorrea" haha. Kian laughed. And so did the audience
Next  is was If I Let You Go, complete with red flags on the stage and fake wind machine
then they sang Swear It Again

Then back come the dancers, and out come the chairs. for Somebody Needs You. But they're not sitting on them, they're dancing with them
Away Westlife go for a quick costume change while the audience is shown a series of countryside images on the screen there's a stream, and a tree, and the sea  and it's Seasons in the Sun! Out come Westlife looking very snug in their warm coats and they walk along on conveyor belts on the stage And then everyone in the audience almost has a heart attack as Westlife start to strip, pulling the sleeves off their coats
Seasons in the sun then merges into I Have a Dream and we get cool bubbles on the stage!

Next up, Westlife do a climbing thing over their set and perch on the ladders and on the various bits of the stage to sing You Make Me Feel.

Now it's time for another costume change, in the meantime the screens show pictures of the dancers putting on makeup, then out they came and sang When You're Looking Like That, we get, best of all, Westlife in shiny trousers!(ummm tight trousers) There's a very bizarre bit of the song where Westlife sit on the stage and watch their dancers dance, I'm sure the lads enjoy it.

Bryan invited the audience to blow the microphones towards them (blow what?! ah don't be so dirty! says Bry, making everyone laugh!!) but the microphones magically got blown to them

After a short interlude Kian appears on stage all by his lonesome, telling us he's had an argument with the others and that they've all gone home so he's gonna do what he did before Westlife and play us Wild Thing! apart from he just plays the first four bars and then smiles at us and says na its More than words and the other guys come on stage and join him
The Motown Medley is next, consisting of My Girl, a couple of covers done solely for the tour, Can't Get Next To You, Baby I Need Some Lovin', and What Becomes of the Broken Hearted. In the middle of all this the guys even find the time to introduce their band, which gives Kian an excuse for some raunchy dancing...and the audience for lots of screaming!(well what else did they expect us to do)

Fool Again next and then we have another short break as Westlife get changed again and onstage the dancers act as if they're welding stuff  and then the music starts and,  It's Uptown Girl! And Westlife come out in these red mechanic suits, which have their names in glittery letters on the back. and out comes a vintage car and Westlife open the bonnet and out comes a posh lady wearing a hat, and Westlife dance and pretend to knock each other over by accident, and it's hilarious!
What Makes a Man follows, and the guys tell us that that was the last song of the evening, and they say their thankyou’s and goodbyes and leave the stage

But we're not fooled, and we stay waiting for them to come back, screaming
and sure enough, Westlife return eventually, dressed in white to sing I Lay My Love On You.
Except this version of I Lay My Love on You starts out very slow but it speeds up and it's quite cool after all

And then  we really do come to the final song of the evening Flying Without Wings. Westlife come out through a cloud of smoke tied to a big metal grid suspended over the audience, which looks quite scary! And they move out over the audience, about half way back in the arena, and of course the crowd goes WILD!
Then finally it really is goodbye and Westlife disappear back into a cloud of smoke and the spotlights dim... and on the screen the words appear:

Dream Over
