Niall Horan

The North American dates for Niall Horan Dinner Party Live On Tour have been announced. The chart-topping global superstar will perform at arenas across North America in support of his new album, Dinner Party, which will be released on June 5, 2026. Tickets go on sale May 15 at 10 AM on Ticketmaster.com There’s something about sharing a table that feels like sharing a future and Dinner Party brings the listener into that experience with warmth, wit and sincerity. The album is cinematic and organic, with songs that play like memories being gently created. Julian Bunetta and John Ryan, Horan’s longtime collaborators, served as executive producers. His other creative partners and co-writers included Afterhrs, Amy Allen, Ian Franzino, Andrew Haas, Steph Jones, Rocky Block and Joel Little. The multi-Platinum-selling singer/songwriter first rose to prominence as part of the internationally acclaimed One Direction and has since firmly established himself as a powerhouse solo artist, selling over 90 million records worldwide. He launched his solo career with the Platinum-certified album Flicker, which featured the triple-Platinum hit “Slow Hands.” Horan has since released three additional albums —Heartbreak Weather, which ranked No. 1 on both Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart and the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart, The Show, which topped the same two charts, and The Show: Encore.
