Former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson is coming to Leeds on a new world tour

Ex-One Direction star Louis Tomlinson will perform a huge gig in Leeds next year as part of a newly-announced world tour.

The singer-songwriter will be heading to the First Direct Arena with his ‘How Did We Get Here?’ tour in 2026.

The 33-year-old star, formerly one-fifth of hit boyband One Direction, announced the news hot on the heels of the release of his latest single Lemonade.

Doncaster-born Louis Tomlinson will visit UK cities including Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Brighton and London, as well as that massive show in Leeds.

Louis continues to establish himself as one of the UK’s top live performers, with hits like Back to You, Just Hold On, and fan-favourite tracks from his critically acclaimed albums.

He launched himself as a solo artist back in 2020 with Walls, shifting more than 1.2 million copies worldwide and amassing nearly 1 billion streams.

He then went on to release Faith In The Future in 2022 (a chart-topping album in the UK and top five in the US).

This new world tour will showcase his evolution from global pop superstar to respected solo artist, and we’re sure it’s going to go down a storm.

Louis Tomlinson will perform at the First Direct Arena on Tuesday 28 April, 2026.

Tickets will go on sale at 9am next Friday 10 October and you can buy yours here.
