About Niall Horan and the Dinner Party Live on Tour

Niall Horan first became a global sensation as a member of One Direction, the boy band formed on The X Factor in 2010 that went on to become one of the best-selling music acts of all time. After the group went on hiatus in 2016, Horan wasted no time building a solo career, releasing his debut album Flicker in 2017 to critical acclaim and commercial success. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and produced the hit single "Slow Hands," which became one of the biggest pop songs of that year and remains a staple of his live shows.

Since then, Horan has released three more studio albums that showcase his evolution as a songwriter and performer. Heartbreak Weather (2020) leaned into upbeat pop-rock with tracks like "Nice to Meet Ya" and "No Judgement," while The Show (2023) took a more introspective turn with songs like "Heaven" and "Meltdown." His fourth album, Dinner Party, arrives June 5, 2026 with 12 new tracks that blend the warmth and intimacy of his earlier work with a more mature, confident sound. Lead singles "Dinner Party" and "Little More Time" have already earned praise for their melodic hooks and honest lyricism.

The Dinner Party Live on Tour is Horans most ambitious concert production to date. The global run began with a UK and European arena tour in September-November 2026, hitting cities like Manchester (Co-Op Live), Glasgow (OVO Hydro), Berlin (Uber Arena), Amsterdam (Ziggo Dome), Barcelona (Palau Sant Jordi), and Milan (Forum di Milano). The North American leg launches March 17, 2027 in St. Paul and runs through May 29 in Vancouver, covering 26 arenas across the U.S. and Canada.

Chicago fans can catch Horan at the United Center on March 23, 2027. The United Center, located at 1901 W. Madison Street on the Near West Side, is one of the largest indoor arenas in North America with a concert capacity of approximately 23,000. Home of the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks, the venue has hosted some of the biggest names in music -- from the Rolling Stones and U2 to Taylor Swift and Beyonce. The arena offers multiple seating tiers, premium suites, and excellent sightlines from every section. Parking is available in surrounding lots, and the venue is accessible via CTA bus routes and the Ashland and Illinois Medical District stops on the Blue and Pink lines.

Other cities on the 2027 North American leg include Detroit (Little Caesars Arena, March 19), Columbus (Nationwide Arena, March 20), Indianapolis (Gainbridge Fieldhouse, March 26), St. Louis, Toronto, Brooklyn, Boston, Orlando, Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, Austin, Denver, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Vancouver. Two additional co-headlining stadium dates with Thomas Rhett are scheduled for Nashville (Geodis Park, July 9) and Hershey (Hersheypark Stadium, July 18).

Horan also served as a coach on The Voice for Season 23 in 2023, winning the season with his team member Gina Miles. The experience broadened his audience and showcased his ear for talent and his easygoing, supportive personality -- qualities that translate directly to his live performances, where he regularly engages with fans, takes requests, and creates the kind of relaxed, joyful atmosphere that makes every show feel like a private event.
