Niall Horan is on a mission to bring Irish music around the world
Later this month, our very own Niall Horan will embark on his first ever solo world tour – and he's bringing some local talent along for the ride.
The Slow Hands singer took to Twitter earlier today announce the support acts for his upcoming Flicker Sessions tour, adding that he wanted to make it “as Irish as possible.”
So for my shows I wanted to make it as Irish as possible and show off the incredible music coming out of our lovely little country

Many fans were left disappointed after tickets for the Flicker Sessions tour sold out in minutes, and to be honest, we reckon this latest announcement will just rub salt in the wound.
