News of the tour follows the recent release of Louis’s third full-length studio album How Did I Get Here? [released 23 January via BMG] which debut at #1 on the UK Album Charts and #3 on the ARIA Album Charts. During his press run for the album, Louis teased Australian fans during interviews of his impending visit stating excitedly, “As long as I’ve been touring, I’ve always come to Aus. It’s inevitable. I love it there. So yeah, I’ll definitely be there!” Now confirmed, the Australian dates round out a stacked 50 plus date world tour beginning this month in Europe, then hitting the UK, Canada, US followed by Australia.
For his third album How Did I Get Here? Louis pushed himself as a lyricist, songwriter, and performer, holding nothing back on these tracks. As a writer, he’s diving deeper into who he is than ever before. This time around, Louis assembled a handful of initial ideas in the English countryside before decamping to Santa Teresa in Costa Rica for three weeks in early 2025. He dove into writing and recording alongside primary collaborator and co-producer Nico Rebscher. The atmosphere of his surroundings underscored the ensuing body of work.
Following a world-conquering run as a member of One Direction, Louis formally introduced himself as a solo artist with Walls [2020]. Dubbed “excellent” by Rolling Stone, his debut LP moved over 1.2 million copies worldwide and reeled in nearly 1 billion total streams. Two years later, he levelled up on Faith In The Future [2022]. The album hit No.1 in the UK, Spain, Argentina, Belgium and cracked the Top 5 in Australia and on the US Billboard 200. This year How Did I Get Here? continued his global chart dominance.
Don’t miss your chance to witness Louis live in some of the biggest Australian venues he has played to date, this October.
