FORMER One Direction man Niall Horan has announced that he will kick off his biggest tour to date in Belfast next year.

The Show: Live on Tour 2024 will begin with a date at Belfast's SSE Arena on February 21, followed by a show at Dublin's 3Arena on February 23. The tour will be Mullingar-born Horan's first headline run since 2018’s Flicker World Tour and will find him promoting his third solo album The Show, which will be released on June 9.

The star recently released the single Meltdown, taken from the upcoming album.

He says: “My favourite thing in the world is being on tour. Performing my songs for my fans and sharing those incredible moments together are the reason why I write music in the first place. This is going to be my best tour yet and I cannot wait to see all you “lovers” on the road in 2024.

"There’s nothing better than watching the crowd sing back to you with all that emotion on their faces and knowing that they’re attaching the song to something meaningful in their own lives. To me, that’s always the greatest thing that can ever come from songwriting.”

Tickets for Niall Horan live in Belfast go on sale Friday 2 June at 10am from ticketmaster.ie
