The Flicker World Tour – 2018
Global superstar Niall Horan will bring his Flicker World Tour 2018 to Australia next June, with arena shows confirmed for Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. It is his first solo Arena tour, and will see him perform smash hits ‘Slow Hands’ and ‘This Town’, plus tracks off his forthcoming debut album, to thousands of adoring fans.
Niall Horan made his solo debut with the poignant single ‘This Town’. Released last year it has sold more than one million units in the U.S., achieving Platinum certification whilst it has just ticked over Double Platinum in Australia. Horan has been honored with numerous awards in 2017, including People’s Choice, Teen Choice, Radio Disney Music and iHeartRadio MMVA awards.
Horan, who has sold over 70 million records as part of the all-conquering One Direction, has spent the past year writing and recording his debut solo album, which will be released prior to Christmas. Accompanying himself on guitar, his new material takes its inspiration from the music he has favored since childhood and his contemporaries – artists like Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles and Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Lumineers and James Bay. He has been working with a small team of producers including Julian Bunetta and Greg Kurstin to hone a distinctive sound for the album.
“I’ve been listening to a lot of early 80’s stuff lately and been inspired by that heavy bass and the funky guitar sound. It’s another flavor to my album that I’m excited to share,” said Horan when discussing ‘Slow Hands.’
The Flicker World Tour will commence in Brisbane on June 3, followed by Sydney on June 5 and concluding in Melbourne on June 7.
Special guest on the Flicker World Tour 2018 is buzz US singer songwriter Maren Morris, who is currently causing a storm with debut album ‘Hero’ and breakout single ‘My Church’.
