Niall Horan Sets the Table for ‘Dinner Party’ Tour of Australia

Niall Horan is hosting a dinner party, and Australia is invited.

The Irish pop star will set off early next year for the Australian leg of his Dinner Party Tour, with arena shows in Adelaide (Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Feb. 10), Melbourne (Rod Laver Arena on Feb. 12), Sydney (Qudos Bank Arena on Feb. 16) and Brisbane (Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Feb. 19). As the itinerary stands, Perth misses out.

“I always love coming back to Australia, so I’m absolutely buzzing to finally announce Dinner Party Live On Tour for February 2027,” says Horan in a statement issued Wednesday, June 10. “The support from Australian fans has always been amazing, and I can’t wait to get back over there and play these new songs for you. We’ve got a bigger and better show planned, four albums worth of tunes to get through, and a few surprises up our sleeves. It’s going to be a really special run.”

Emerging Australian artist Jude York is the support on Horan’s tour down under, which is produced by TEG Live, part of the TEG Group.

Since entering our lives in the 2010 season of the U.K.’s The X Factor, and sliding into the pop phenomenon that was One Direction, Horan has had the rub of the green. As a member of 1D, the Irishman made Billboard chart history when the pop group’s 2012 debut album, Up All Night, opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making the pop group the first British act to debut atop the chart with a first album. With three additional consecutive No. 1 bows — Take Me Home (2012), Midnight Memories (2013) and Four (2014) — 1D became the first group in Billboard 200 history to see its first four studio albums enter at the chart summit.

It’s a similar 1D chart story on the other side of the Atlantic: Four U.K. No. 1 albums, four U.K. No. 1 singles.

As a solo artist, Horan has two No. 1s on the Official U.K. Albums Chart with 2020’s Heartbreak Weather and 2023’s The Show, while his debut album, 2017’s Flicker, went all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard 200. In Australia, Horan landed his first solo No. 1 when The Show debuted at No. 1 on the official ARIA Albums Chart.

Horan is, of course, supporting his new album Dinner Party (via Universal Music), his fourth solo project. Dinner Party leads the midweek U.K. chart, where it is on track to become his third leader, the Official Charts Company reports.

The general on sale for Horan’s Dinner Party Tour of Australia gets underway Thursday, June 18 at 2pm local time, with fan club and partner presales kicking off from Monday, June 15 at 1pm local time. Visit teglive.com.au for more information.
