THE LIVE SHOW
What Niall Horan concerts are like
A Niall Horan concert is warm and relaxed. He plays guitar through much of the set with a full band, moving from Slow Hands and Nice to Meet Ya to Heaven and Meltdown, and the crowd sings loudly on every chorus.
He talks and jokes between songs in a very Irish way, and there is usually a One Direction song or two that gets a huge reaction. Acoustic moments, such as This Town, bring the arena down to a quiet singalong.
Tips for the Manchester show
- One Direction fans should stay alert; a 1D song is usually slipped into the set.
- The acoustic section is quiet, so save chat for the up-tempo songs.
