One Direction to perform in Singapore next year

UK boy band One Direction is set to take the stage in Singapore next year for the very first time.

The global sensation, famous for hits such as ‘Best Song Ever’ and ‘Story of My Life’, selected the city-state as part of their On Their Road Again Tour.

They will perform at the new Singapore National Stadium on March 11, 2015.

Tickets are going at lowest S$168 (RM432) for standing, to highest S$388 (RM997) for seated and will go on sale on June 11, 10 am from www.sportshubtix.sg.

The band - Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan – will also be making their way to Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, and the Philippines as part of the 2015 tour.

Fans are thoroughly excited at the announcement as this will be the boys’ return to Asia for the first time in two years.

One Direction have just completed the first leg of their sell-out ‘Where We Are’ stadium tour, which saw the boys visiting South America for the first time to an overwhelming reception..

Their third and latest album, the record breaking 'Midnight Memories' was released last year and has so far sold four million copies worldwide.
