By Lee Dobbins

One Direction lads Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles held a press conference in London on Thursday (May 16, 2013) to officially announce that they are set to play a world stadium tour in 2014. The boys gathered at Wembley Stadium to make their announcement on 13 dates on their “Where We Are Tour,” with more still to be added. “We’re incredibly excited to announce we’re doing a worldwide stadium tour in 2014,” Niall Horan said. “We’re three years into it (being a band), so stepping out to an audience of 65,000 a night is incredible.” The X Factor stars will be travelling around the globe and set to perform at some of the planet's biggest and most prestigious concert venues. The worldwide jaunt will kick off in April in South America and the teen idols were clearly most excited about performing in Brazil for the first time, with Liam Payne saying: “We’re massively excited because there’s a lot of places around the world that we haven’t been to and we can’t wait to get over there.” One Direction stars Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne will then head back home to the UK and Ireland for a string of gigs, including concerts in Wembley Stadium on 27th June and in Ireland’s Croke Park in Dublin on 24th May 2014. Tickets for the UK and Ireland dates of the “Where We Are Tour” are set to go on sale on May 25 at 10a.m.

One Direction announced on Thursday (May 16, 2013) that they would be staging a huge world stadium tour next year titled “Where We Are.” They said they were ecstatic at the news and promised a completely different show for their fans.

One Direction singers Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Harry Styles were dressed in yellow t-shirts on May 16, 2013 as they posed for pics at Wembley Stadium, where they also said they will be releasing a new album this year with a rockier edge.

The “Kiss You” crooners would play major stadiums in Latin America next April before heading to the UK and Ireland in May during the first leg of the mega-tour. Tickets for the concerts would go on sale 25 May.

Liam Payne and his One Direction bandmates, who are currently on the European leg of their “Take Me Home” 2013 world tour, flew back to the UK to announce their stadium tour.

Liam Payne said at the news conference that he couldn’t wait to get the “Where We Are” tour kicked off since he wanted to get back to Ireland to sample some local sausages. He also admitted that he really wanted to visit Brazil because of the thongs.
