Westlife star Nicky Byrne has been soaking up the nostalgia after a weekend spent reliving his teenage years with wife Georgina Aherne.

The couple, who share three children- twins Rocco and Jay, 18, and daughter Gia, 11, made it a night to remember at Oasis’ hotly anticipated reunion concert.

Nicky, 46, took to social media to share a video collage of the experience, which captured snapshots of himself and Georgina enjoying the night out.

In the clips, the singer is seen wearing official Oasis bucket-hat merch, sipping a pint during the show, and taking in the electric atmosphere of the gig.

Alongside the post, Nicky wrote: 'What a weekend! I was 16 all over again.'

The evening clearly struck a chord with the Dublin-born pop star, who first rose to fame in the late 1990s as one quarter of Westlife.

His throwback sentiment reflects just how much Oasis’ music shaped a generation- and, for Nicky, it was a chance to relive those early days with his long-time love by his side.

Georgina, daughter of former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, has been by Nicky’s side since their school days. The pair married in 2003, and have kept their family life at the heart of everything, even as Nicky’s career has taken him from world tours with Westlife to presenting roles on TV and radio.

This weekend, though, it was all about stepping back into the past- bucket hat on, pint in hand, singing along to Liam and Noel Gallagher’s classics. For Nicky, it seems Oasis provided the perfect soundtrack to feeling young and carefree all over again.

The iconic Manchester band drew an electric crowd for both of their Dublin shows, and aside from Nicky and Georgina, among the thousands were plenty of well-known faces who weren’t about to miss the chance to see the Gallaghers back together on Irish soil.

Here are some of the other celebs who attended the sold-out gigs:

For Inhaler frontman Elijah Hewson, it was more than just a gig- it was a birthday night out. The singer celebrated turning 26 in the best way possible, watching one of the world’s biggest bands play in his hometown... we don't mean his dad Bono's band either!

Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anaïs even shared videos of Elijah enjoying the night, proving the celebrations went well beyond the music.
