Louis Tomlinson is taking to huge venues next year as he announces a UK & Ireland tour, which includes a giant gig at London’s O2 Arena on May 3, 2026.

The former One Direction singer will also have new material to play at the show, with the simultaneous announcement of his new album, How Did I Get Here?, which is set for release on January 23, 2026. It’s his third studio album, following 2022’s Faith In The Future and 2020’s Walls.

Tomlinson will also play concerts in Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Dublin, and Brighton before the tour culminates in the London show. These follow dates in mainland Europe that kick off in March, and precede a North American run in June & July. His last full UK tour came in 2023, when he also headlined the O2 Arena. Earlier this year, Louis Tomlinson also played a one-off London show at Electric Brixton.
