It will give fans the chance, for the first time, to see the band perform songs from their brand new album, FOUR, alongside all their much-loved hits.

After a one-off performance in Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium in June 2015, the boys’ full tour kicks off at London’s The O2 in September and wraps up a month later with the two shows in Sheffield.

FOUR is their biggest yet, having topped the number one spot on the iTunes chart in 85 countries, with sales of over 2 million in just one week.

The album has also seen them make history by becoming the first ever act to debut at the top of the US Billboard charts with each of their first four albums.
