Westlife have released a new single, Chariot, and confirmed that a new album will follow next year to mark the band's 25th anniversary.
Chariot was written by Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid and Will Reynolds, and co-written and produced by long-time collaborator Steve Mac. The group describe it as a "powerful, life-affirming anthem" celebrating love, family and the moments that matter most.
Their forthcoming album 25 - The Ultimate Collection will be released on 13 February 2026, featuring 21 tracks including new recordings and fan favourites.
The release coincides with Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour, which will see the group perform across the UK and Europe next year, including a major run of shows at Dublin's 3Arena and Belfast’s SSE Arena.
Westlife - Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan and Mark Feehily - have sold more than 55 million records worldwide and achieved 16 Irish and 14 UK No. 1 singles since forming in 1998.
