Louis Tomlinson announces 2023 UK and European tour

The 30-year-old singer – who shot to fame as part of One Direction – has confirmed that he’ll begin his European tour in Hamburg, Germany, in August 2023 and it’ll finish in Birmingham, England, in November.

Alongside a list of tour dates, Louis wrote on Twitter: “FAITH IN THE FUTURE WORLD TOUR 2023. UK AND EUROPE.

“I can’t tell you how much the tour this year has done for me so I wanted to get on the road again as soon as I could. I had this tour in mind with every song we wrote on the new album.

“Looking forward to playing the new stuff live. Thank you as always for your unbelievable support. I know none of this would be possible without you all! (sic)”

Louis released his debut album, ‘Walls’, in 2020, and he previously admitted that it was difficult to make the transition from being part of One Direction into becoming a solo artist.

He said: “I’m really excited about this next chapter. My first record, I’m immensely proud of it, but it was hard to work out where I stood in the industry coming out of a band the size of One Direction and exactly what One Direction were. Where I’ve got to on this record, I feel really, really proud of.”

Louis took inspiration from DMA’s ‘The Glow’ for his own ‘Faith in the Future’ record.

He shared: “With my first record, I think I’d been a bit close-minded in the sounds that I wanted to produce.

“There’s a lot of interesting, dance-y elements that they brought into that record with [famed producer] Stuart Price and it just showed me that you can bring in these trendier sounds, but do them in a really authentic way.”
