The singer last visited the region in 2024 on The Show Live on Tour.<\/p>\n The tour tease arrives as Horan releases Dinner Party<\/em>, his first studio album since 2023\u2019s The Show<\/em>. The new set continues a solo career that has made him one of the most successful members of One Direction following the group\u2019s hiatus.<\/p>\n Horan\u2019s debut solo album, Flicker<\/em>, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2017, making him the first One Direction member to top the chart with a solo release. Follow-up albums Heartbreak Weather<\/em> and The Show<\/em> also reached the Billboard 200\u2019s upper tier, while singles including \u201cSlow Hands,\u201d \u201cThis Town,\u201d \u201cNice to Meet Ya,\u201d \u201cHeaven\u201d and \u201cMeltdown\u201d helped establish him as a global solo star.<\/p>\n In a separate interview with Pedestrian<\/a><\/em>, Horan discussed the personal inspiration behind several songs on Dinner Party<\/em>. The album\u2019s title track recounts how he met longtime partner Amelia Woolley.<\/p>\n \u201cWe literally met at a dinner party, and we\u2019re still together,\u201d Horan said. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of like one of those \u2014 to me \u2014 once-in-a-lifetime things that you never expected to come in, and it hits you. You don\u2019t realise, you\u2019re not looking for it at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Horan revealed that the song \u201cFlowers\u201d was inspired by a fan tweet he came across while writing the album.<\/p>\n \u201cJust seeing a tweet online while we were writing the song, \u2018Your eyes could grow flowers,\u2019 I thought was a great concept,\u201d he said. \u201cI just love the idea of someone being so powerful that they could do something so unrealistic.\u201d<\/p>\n No official Australian dates have been announced, but Horan\u2019s comments suggest fans can expect news sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
