WESTLIFE fans will be able to enjoy a host of other fun activities on the day their pop heroes hit the stage at Mansfield Town Football Club's ground on 21st August.
The town centre will host live music and other activites during that day - ahead of the gig for which tickets are still on sale.
It is also the final day of Mansfield's Beach Party - a week long event which will see the town centre Market Place transformed into a seaside resort, complete with sand play area, street entertainers, children's rides, stalls, prizes and even full size dodgems and twister.
Mansfield mayor Tony Egginton said: "Everyone in the town centre should have a bumper today.
"The town's people and businesses could make up to £250,000, which is big business.
"Westlife will attract the biggest ever crowd to our business community, and especially the town centre.
"It will be the biggest event Mansfield has ever seen.
"We saw a great day when Rebecca Adlington brought home two gold medals, and numerically, this will be just as big.
"
Mr Egginton says he hopes the town will co-ordinate its efforts to make the most of the day, and has already started discussions with Portland Retail Park about parking, while a park-and-ride service will operate from the Civic Centre to Field Mill.
"It will be a day to remember when we see an act which we never thought would come to Mansfield."
Westlife's 'fab four' - Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan - have sold more than 43 million records globally and in the UK alone have scored nine multi-platinum albums and a record-breaking 14 Number One hits.
They are the second top act to play at the football club following in the footsteps of the X Factor Live tour, after club bosses signed a deal with concert management firm the Liz Hobbs Group.
The aim of the deal was to attract big names to Field Mill and compete with big cities like Nottingham and Sheffield.
Westlife saw their latest album 'Where We Are' reach number two in the UK album chart and have had a string of hits since the 1990s.
Last week, it was announced they would be joined for the gig by pop starlets Wonderland - the proteges of Westlife's Kian and X Factor judge Louis Walsh.
Mansfield Town FC director Steve Hymas said: "We are experiencing a big demand for tickets. We know it will be a fantastic night"
A total of 15,000 tickets are on sale and cost between £35-45.
Tickets for the Westlife concert on 21st August can be still be bought online at www.ticketmaster.com or www.stagsclubshop.com.
