The Dates
Louis Tomlinson kicked off his tour in Dallas, Texas, on Feb. 1. He was originally supposed to perform around the world in 2020, however, due to the coronavirus shutdown, he postponed his shows to 2022. His final tour stop this year will be in Milan, Italy on Sept. 3.
The Cities
Tomlinson began the North American leg of his world tour in Dallas before heading off to Austin and Houston, Texas. He’ll perform in 25 cities across the U.S. and will then travel to Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Australia for more shows.
The Setlist
A week after Tomlinson’s first show in Dallas, he went on to perform in Nashville, Tennessee, on Feb. 8. His setlist included his solo singles like “Just Hold On” and “Kill My Mind,” as well as 1D songs like “Drag Me Down” and “Little Black Dress.”
His First Solo Album
Tomlinson embarked on his world tour to support his debut solo album, Walls, which dropped in January 2020. His tour included two performances at Hammerstein Ballroom, an intimate venue located just one block away from Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Returning to the Stage
The last time many fans saw Tomlinson in concert was during One Direction’s 2015 On The Road Again tour. Back then, the group performed at various stadiums around the world. Now, Tomlinson is making stops in smaller, more intimate venues for his 2022 tour.
Only The Brave
According to the blog by LTHQ official, a lot of fan projects have been taking place at the singer’s concerts. For example, during his Feb. 20 show in Detroit, many in the audience held up Pride flags during his performance of “Only The Brave.”
Opening Act
Tomlinson invited the band Sun Room to be his opening act for his North American concerts. The group describes themselves as “some friends from Southern California who like to surf & make music out of their very hot garage.”
The Merch
Tomlinson’s 2022 tour merch includes a variety of T-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, tote bags, and more. If you didn’t manage to snag any merch in person, luckily, you can buy some online on Tomlinson’s official website.
