The tour was ultimately postponed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The band rescheduled their dates at Wembley Stadium, Cork, and Scarborough to 2022,[2] while the other 17 tour dates where cancelled. Their three shows in Singapore made them the first international group to perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium thrice in one tour. On 19 November 2022, band member Nicky Byrne was involved in a stage fall accident during the Glasgow concert. On 25 November 2022, band member Mark Feehily pulled out of the remaining shows of the UK and Ireland leg due to contracting pneumonia. He would rejoin the band for the 2023 legs except for five of its dates due to pulmonary complications that need an operation. On 14 August 2023, Westlife announced their first-ever tour dates in North America visiting Toronto, Boston, New York City, and Chicago the following year.[3] On 12 September 2023, Westlife announced their first-ever tour dates in India. On 26 September 2023, Westlife announced their first-ever tour date in Brazil and their first headlining concert tour in Mexico. Feehily announced he had been forced to pull out just 2 weeks before. This concert tour also marks their most number of concert tour dates to date with 100 dates so far since their "Where Dreams Come True Tour" in 2001 with 82 dates. Band member Kian Egan added, "This is the largest tour ever in China for a western act".
