The band’s sold-out Amor and Pasión dates in 2016 had critics praising their ability to ‘ignite hearts’ with their effortless charm and ‘magnificent vocals’.

Hits including Regresa a Mi (Unbreak My Heart), The Time of Our Lives, Si Voy a Perderte (Don’t Wanna Lose You), Time to Say Goodbye (Con Te Partirò) and I Believe in You (Je Crois en Toi) are guaranteed to delight audiences.

The entertainment will begin at 7pm and gates open at 5pm. Support acts will be announced nearer the time.

Unlike previous Pastures concerts, Il Divo will be a fully-seated performance and, in accordance with the promoter’s regulations, guests’ own food and drink will not be permitted. There will be a selection of hot and cold food stalls available to choose from inside the venue grounds.
