The Wild Dreams Tour or The Hits Tour, originally known as the Stadiums in the Summer Tour, is an ongoing concert tour by Irish pop vocal group, Westlife. It was first scheduled to begin on 17 June 2020 in Scarborough, England at the Scarborough Open Air Theatre.^[1]

However, the tour was ultimately postponed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The band has rescheduled their dates like the Wembley Stadium, Cork, and Scarborough to 2022.^[2] The first 17 other tour dates announced have been cancelled but 2 of them were rescheduled. 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 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 Canada and the United States. They will be performing in Toronto, Boston, New York City, and Chicago in March 2024.^[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.

This concert tour also marks their most number of concert tour dates to date with 99 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".
