SHANE Filan will perform only one Yorkshire date on his Right Here tour in 2016, right here in York on March 21.

Once part of the Irish boy band Westlife, Filan has concentrated on his solo career after their split in 2012 and first played York Barbican in February 2014 on his debut tour. Since then, he has released his second album, Right Here, on East West Records in September.

"I'm thrilled to be getting out on the road in March 2016," he says. "This is going to be quite a tour. I'm really proud of Right Here and now can’t wait to perform the new songs live, alongside some old favourites. I'm very much looking forward to coming to York. It’s exciting to be performing across the UK and Ireland early next year."

Filan issued his debut solo record, You And Me, through Capitol Records in November 2013. Tickets for his York Barbican return are on sale at £36.40 on 0844 854 2757, at yorkbarbican.co.uk or in person from the box office.
