The former boy bander from One Direction performed a 90-minute show at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

British musician Niall Horan brought his The Show: Live On Tour concert series to the Singapore Indoor Stadium on May 9.Irish singer-songwriter Niall Horan is not the most well-known or commercially successful member of now-defunct English-Irish boy band One Direction, unlike Harry Styles, who has won Grammys and starred in Hollywood movies.which promotes his third and latest album The Show , he might just be the most underrated.

This is clear in all his three solo albums – Flicker , Heartbreak Weather and The Show – which cover the soft rock genre with an added mix of pop, folk and country vibes, and were well represented in the 20-song set list. Instead, he placed his live backing band front and centre on a sprawling platform that kept fans’ focus solely on the music. Horan had a good rapport with the band and held his own with his vocals and stage presence.As has become a habit during his solo musical career, Horan kept a musical instrument – usually a guitar – in his hands for most of the gig.

While he pulled it off, Horan was at his best when he put his instrument crutch down and allowed himself to wander the stage and interact with the eager crowd.Horan has always been thought of as the “nice guy” of One Direction, thanks to his polite and seemingly affable personality.as he thanked the audiences several times for turning out, especially given the six-year absence since his last performance for some 4,000 fans at The Star Theatre in June 2018.
