Chart-topping, global superstar Niall Horan has today announced that he will be bringing ‘THE SHOW’ LIVE ON TOUR to Australia in April and May 2024 to celebrate the release of his upcoming third studio album, The Show.

Presented by TEG Live and Nova Entertainment, the Australian shows will kick off on 28 April at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, before heading to Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on 1 May and wrapping up in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena on 3 May. This will be Niall’s second headline tour of Australia since his Flicker world tour in 2018.

Tickets to ‘THE SHOW’ LIVE ON TOUR will go on sale to the general public at 10.00am (local time) on Friday 2 June from www.ticketek.com.au.

Australian fans who pre-order The Show directly from Niall Horan’s official store by 5:00pm (local) on Monday 29 May will receive an exclusive ticket presale link for his Australian shows.

This album/ticket pre-sale will commence at 10:00am (local) on Tuesday 30 May. The Show is set for release on 9 June and is available to pre-order here.

Thrilled to be including Australia on his worldwide tour, Niall says, “I have said it many times, but I do mean it when I say that the times I have spent down under are some of the best periods of my life… I have had amazing shows in Australia and New Zealand, and I cannot wait to be back in 2024. 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’ in 2024.”

A deeply felt meditation on everything from mental health to the infinite complexity and uncertainty of love, The Show is an endlessly spellbinding statement on following your heart to its absolute truth. As he gears up to share his most personal material yet in a truly extraordinary career, Horan is particularly eager to return to the stage.

“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,” says Niall Horan. “To me, that’s always the greatest thing that can ever come from songwriting.”

TEG CEO Geoff Jones says, “TEG is delighted to be bringing Niall Horan out to Australia and New Zealand in 2024. We know his fans have been waiting since 2018 for these shows, and we’re thrilled that it’s finally coming to life. Niall is a masterclass entertainer with incredible stage presence, so there’s no doubt this tour will include many magic moments for fans.”

Originally from Mullingar, Ireland, Horan has sold over 80 million records and toured the globe multiple times as part of the iconic One Direction. His full-length solo debut Flicker entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 in October 2017 and contained the 8 x ARIA Platinum single Slow Hands and 4 x ARIA Platinum This Town. The album hit the top 10 in 20 countries total and charted #2 on the Australian ARIA charts. With combined global streams surpassing eight billion, Flicker has gone Platinum in five countries (including the U.S.) and Gold in additional seven countries. Heartbreak Weather followed in 2020 and topped the UK’s Official Albums chart and Billboard’s Top Album Sales tally and came in at #2 on the ARIA charts.

The album The Show will feature the already released singles Heaven and Meltdown. Across Australia and New Zealand, both singles are soaring with over 6.8 million combined streams across all platforms.
