Everything you need to know about Niall Horan’s support acts
He's hitting the road and bringing a few lads with him
Following in the footsteps of bandmate Harry Styles, Niall Horan is also set to embark on a world tour this fall. The ‘Flicker Sessions 2017’ starts in Niall’s home country of Ireland on August 29 and traverses through Europe, Asia, Austalia, and the Americas until the end of November. (Stay for an all-American Thanksgiving dinner, Niall, just a suggestion.)
Today, Niall took to Twitter to announce the ‘Flicker Sessions 2017’ opening act—or should we say “acts,” because Niall is bringing along a whopping four. A huge fan of Ireland and being Irish, Niall’s giving Ireland’s best new talent a chance to join his stage.
Wild Youth
See them at: Niall’s Dublin, Ireland show
Who are they?: Made up of Callum McAdams, Ed Porter, David Whelan, and Connor O’Donohoe, Wild Youth is a four-piece band out of (you guessed it) Ireland. They’re playing their first-ever headlining show at the end of September in Dublin before joining Niall at his.

Listen to: ‘Never Change’
Gavin James
See him at: All of Niall’s United States and Canada shows
Who is he?: Born in, you guessed it, Ireland, Gavin James is a singer-songwriter from a very musically talented family. You might recognize him from the U.S.’s 2015 season of ‘Dancing With the Stars’ or when he opened for some pretty major acts like Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith.

Corey Harper
See him at: Niall’s Atlanta, Georgia, Los Angeles, California, and Orlando, Florida shows
Who is he?: Born in Missouri, Corey Harper is Niall’s only non-Irish support act. He was actually discovered on Instagram by Cody Simpson, who runs in the same friend circle as Niall. You might’ve heard Corey opening up for Justin Bieber… or from your frequent lunchtime visits to Panera.
