Former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson announced his “How Did We Get Here?” World Tour on October 1 in support of his third solo album of the same name, set to be released on January 23, 2026.
GettyImagesThis announcement follows the release of his newest lead single “Lemonade.” In an article for Rolling Stone, Tomlinson muses, “To me, ‘Lemonade’ really has instant and natural personality. It ended up being the perfect way to begin this chapter.”
Arriving almost three years after his 2022 sophomore album “Faith In The Future,” Tomlinson’s forthcoming album and world tour marks what is sure to be an exciting and emotional return for the English singer-songwriter, especially after the tragic passing of his former bandmate and friend Liam Payne in 2024.
According to Variety, Tomlinson said of the album, “I sum up it as ‘The record I always deserved to make.’ My bread and butter is my honesty. I genuinely wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope it comes through in the music. I’m still learning and getting better as a singer and a songwriter. I find it impossible to be complacent; it’s not in my vocabulary. For the first time now, I’m allowing myself to be the artist I’d always hoped to be.”
Tomlinson Will Headline Arenas Across the World on ‘How Did We Get Here?’ Tour
The European and United Kingdom leg of the “How Did We Get Here?” tour kicks off on March 23, 2026, in Hamburg, Germany, at the Barclays Arena and ends in London, UK, on May 3, 2026, at The O2. The North American portion of the tour starts in Vancouver, BC, on June 3, 2026, at the Pacific Coliseum and ends in Miami, US, on July 24, 2026, at the Kaseya Center.
Tomlinson will be performing at some of the most iconic arenas in North America, such as the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, TD Garden in Boston, Bell Centre in Montreal, and Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
Most notably, Tomlinson will be performing his first headlining show at Madison Square Garden in New York on July 8, a major achievement for the already successful international artist that will certainly be one of the highlights of this tour as well as his career.
