One Direction recently sold out their 2012 tour, so they’ve gone ahead and announced one for the summer of 2013.
Yes, that’s more than a year away….but tickets go on sale April 21.
No word on whether promoters are lowering ticket prices for the 2013 dates because they’ll be banking fans’ money – earning millions in interest and/or through investments - for more than a full year.
If they haven’t altered prices, that’s outrageous and very disrespectful behavior towards fans - by both the band and the promoter.
One Direction performed on Saturday Night Live last weekend (watch it here). While plugging the new series of concert dates on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, the band’s Liam Payne also commented on the SNL experience.
“Yeah, it was a really good show,” said Liam. “It’s a massive honor to do something like ‘SNL.’ We’re so happy that they let us get involved in doing a little skit, which was a lot of fun!”
On May 29, the pop group of the moment will release “Up All Night: The Live Tour DVD” featuring concert and backstage footage.
