Horan’s last headline show was at London’s Royal Albert Hall in November 2020. 

Since then, he’s appeared on The Late Late Show With James Corden and performed two private acoustic gigs for a documentary alongside Lewis Capaldi. Horan also joined Ashe onstage at Lafayette to perform their collaborative single ‘Moral Of The Story’ in September 2021.

Horan is currently gearing up to release his third solo album ‘The Show’ which is out June 9.

“This album is a piece of work I’m so proud of and now it’s time to pass it over to you to go and make it your own. Thank you so much for being there for me all this time and I can’t wait to share the next couple of years of this new era with you.

“I’ve missed you all so much. It’s good to be back. Welcome to ‘The Show’.”

In a new TikTok, the singer also said that the new record is “by far and away my favourite stuff I’ve ever worked on”.

However, the record won’t feature any songs co-written with Capaldi after Horan revealed they weren’t “ good enough” and neither artist “adored” them.
