The Unbreakable Tour was the third concert tour by Irish pop band Westlife seen by 700,000 fans making £14,000,000 which covered the UK and Europe in 2003. There were 62 tour dates, including a few outside concerts including their coming home concerts in their home towns of Dublin and Sligo. This tour was the band's biggest production to date and featured a futuristic sci-fi stage complete with Andy Warhol inspired pop art projections, Las Vegas-style neon signs and the latest in intelligent lighting technology which cost £7 million. This was Brian McFadden's last concert tour as a member of the group.
