Niall Horan at First Direct Arena, Leeds – setlist, tickets, support and more

The Show is back.

The Hoot The Hoot - 27th August 2024

Niall Horan is the latest headliner ready to take the First Direct Arena by storm.

The ex-One Direction star is coming to Leeds this Wednesday 28 August, and we're certain it's going to be an incredible night.

Niall Horan’s solo career has seen him top the charts in recent years, stepping into his singular superstar era with aplomb.

His 2024 global tour is a celebration of his third album, The Show, which was released in 2023.

The Show – Live On Tour 2024, is the biggest tour of his solo career and it's fair to say he’s been smashing it.

The music sensation, who’s been playing songs from all three of his solo albums, took to X to thank everyone who came out to the first leg of The Show Live On Tour, just a few months ago.

“Thank you so much everyone who came out to the first leg of The Show Live On Tour! It’s been incredible to be back on the road after all this time and I cannot thank you all enough for always being such an unbelievable crowd.”

If you’ve been lucky enough to grab tickets for the show, here’s everything you need to know.

Stage Times

What we know at the moment is that doors open at 6.00 pm, and the show starts at 7.30pm.

So he’ll probably hit the stage at about 8.30pm.

Tickets for Niall Horan in Leeds

The 30-year-old’s show at First Direct Arena has unsurprisingly seen a huge demand for tickets, blowing seated tickets off the shelves at an impressive rate.

There’s still good availability for standing tickets, which are priced pretty reasonably at £45.00 each (or £52.50 including fees).

Who’s the support act for Niall Horan at Co-op Live?

It’s a big stage for rising indie pop star Del Water Gap, the solo project of Samuel Holden Jaffe.

The Brooklyn-based American musician and record producer has already supported other stars including Maggie Rogers (he also featured on one of her songs), Arlo Parks, and Holly Humberstone.

He fairly recently released his second studio album, I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet.

Expected setlist for Nial Horan’s First Direct Arena gig

As previously mentioned, Niall has been playing a mix of songs from all three of his solo albums, keeping his setlist fairly steady.

Here’s his most recent setlist from Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin.

Since Niall is playing in the UK’s biggest arena, here in Manchester, we might be lucky to get a surprise or two! At least fans can hope.

A brand-new frozen yoghurt bar is coming to Leeds

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

Everyone's in love with frozen yoghurt, and Leeds is about to get more of it.

Over the past year, the UK has become a little bit obsessed with frozen yoghurt - and Leeds is no exception.

We've had Kefiyo open in Headingley which met to queues round the block for weeks, as well as the UK's leading froyo brand Frurt open up in Kirkstall.

And now, there's a newbie on the block.

Introducing 'Yo-Go', your newest frozen yoghurt bar that will be opening up in Leeds' Hyde Park.

We don't know much about Yo-Go yet, but we do know it's female owned and is sporting some pretty cute branding.

The space is currently undergoing renovation, with the owner posting that she received the keys just a couple of days ago.

The window vinyls are up, and people are already getting very excited about the opening as they flock to the comments of Yo-Go's first Instagram post.

Announcing the news of their opening, Yo-Go wrote: "GUYS!! WE’VE GOT THE KEYS. And apparently they don’t come with a finished shop… rude.

"While we get to work, we need your input. Toppings, flavours, very specific requests, we’re taking notes. Drop them below and I’ll try my best to make it happen x"

Comments included requests for 'unlimited toppings' as well as warm sauces, cookie dough, marshmallow and honeycomb.

Sounds pretty delicious if you ask us, but for now, it looks like there's still some work to be done before the shop is ready to welcome its first customers.

We don't know of an opening date just yet, but we'll keep you updated as and when we do.
