Louis Tomlinson has announced a 2020 Australian tour

Founding One Direction member Louis Tomlinson is set to bring his world tour to Australia next year, announcing a pair of 2020 headline dates earlier today.

When English pop group One Direction announced their indefinite hiatus back in 2016, fans the world over wondered when each of the group’s remaining members would embark on a solo career.

With Louis Tomlinson answering this question by releasing ‘Just Hold On’ with Steve Aoki, he followed this up with ‘Back To You’ and ‘Miss You’ in 2017, before going a little bit quiet. This year though, fans began to get a taste of his debut solo record with the release of singles like ‘Two Of Us’ and ‘Kill My Mind’.

Now, with Tomlinson revealing that his debut album, Walls, would be released on January 31st of 2020, he added to this news by dropping his latest tune, ‘We Made It’, which was inspired by stolen nights out in Manchester in the early days of One Direction.

“Any time off I had, I’d go to Manchester for nights out with my mates,” he explained. “It made me realise I didn’t live in the real world anymore and I missed it.

“I loved being normal, reckless and stupid. It was the best escape. We’d stay up all night, talking about our dreams and what we thought would happen to us. That age is such an exciting time. You’ve no idea what the future holds, but you have so much potential. Where is my life headed? Who knows?”

Now, with the new record out early next year, Aussie fans will be among the fist to get a taste of it on the live stage, with Louis Tomlinson announcing a pair of Australian headline dates for April of 2020.
