Niall Horan looks back on 'unreal' tour with Liam Payne ahead of new era

Niall Horan looks back on his last tour, attended by his late One Direction bandmate Liam Payne, as he prepares to embark on a new journey.

Announcing that the tickets for the UK, Ireland and European dates of his Dinner Party Live On Tour are on sale now, the Irish pop sensation described The Show: Live on Tour as “unreal.”

“The response to the presale has been absolutely incredible,” he wrote in the caption alongside an exciting video edit. “I really cannot thank you all enough.”

“I’m already thinking of all the bits from the new songs you’ll scream back at me on stage,” the X Factor alum manifested before adding, “the last tour was unreal and i’m excited to take this one to the next level.”

For the unversed, the upcoming Dinner Party Live on Tour is Niall’s first tour after Liam’s shocking death.

The Teardrops singer attended the 32-year-old singer's Buenos Aires show in October 2024. While One Direction members have shown support for each other’s solo tours over the years, Liam attending Niall’s 2024 show became especially meaningful to fans as it came shortly before his death.

Because the late singer was physically present at one of the Slow Hands singer's shows, many fans feel a deeper emotional connection to his tour in particular, compared to the others.

Notably, Louis Tomlinson is currently on How Did We Get Here? world tour, in support of his new album, titled How Did I Get Here?

Zayn Malik is set to kick off his The Konnakol Tour on May 12 after the release of his fifth solo album, Konnakol, set to release on April 17.

Harry Styles, meanwhile, will treat fans to his live performance via Together, Together Global Residency Tour, a seven-city residency tour.

Additionally, Niall has openly grieved the tragic passing of his One Direction bandmate, sharing that he "went into hiding" to process the loss.

The two had a heartfelt, final backstage reunion in Argentina just weeks before the latter’s death.

Interestingly, Niall is honouring Liam with a song titled End of an Era on his upcoming 2026 album Dinner Party.
