Niall Horan to perform special one-off virtual gig at the Royal Albert Hall

Niamh Maher

Our favourite One Directioner is back and we’re not talking about Harry.

Niall Horan has revealed he’ll be performing a live one-off virtual gig at the Royal Albert Hall to raise funds for a cause close to his heart. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic his “Nice To Meet Ya” tour was cancelled leaving his touring crew without work and being the STAND UP GENT that he is, our Niall is hosting this ticketed event in order to raise much needed cash for his crew and the #WeNeedCrew fund.

Speaking about the passion project, Niall said everyone has been affected by this pandemic and the arts, in particular, have been hit hard:

“This is something I’m incredibly passionate about as live events are something we all love and miss. Until we are able to return I want to shine a light on the incredible crew members of our touring world that make those events possible and whose livelihoods have been severely affected by Covid-19 and the lack of financial support to self-employed Arts World members.⁣”

Niall added that he’s putting on the gig to raise awareness about the immense value crew members bring to the industry and to do something to help them and their families.

He really is the best.
