Westlife concert chronology |
The Gravity Tour is the eleventh concert tour by Irish boy band, Westlife. The tour supported their eleventh studio album, Gravity. The tour visits Europe, Asia and Africa.[1] The tour was listed 55th in 2011 Worldwide First Quarter ticket sales list with 56,793 tickets sold at that time of the year only.[2]
The tour was announced a mere two weeks after the group completed their Where We Are Tour. The tour was directed by William Baker.[3]
Originally, tour dates were announced only for the United Kingdom,[3] but dates were added for Ireland, the Arabian Peninsula, and festival shows in Europe. Volkswagen supported this tour.[4]
During the concert at the Echo Arena Liverpool in Liverpool, England, the show was briefly paused as a set malfunction left the group hanging from the arena's ceiling by a swaying bar. A team of security guards helped lower the group, resuming the concert.[5]
The following setlist was obtained from the concert held on 18 March 2011, at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England.[8] It does not represent all concerts for the duration of the tour.
