On the Road Again Tour


The On The Road Again Tour was a concert tour by English-Irish boy band One Direction, in support of their fourth studio album, Four. The tour began on 7 February 2015 in Sydney, Australia and ended on 31 October 2015 in Sheffield, England. The tour grossed $208 million from 80 shows, selling over 2.3 million tickets. It became the second highest-grossing concert tour of 2015, only behind Taylor Swift's The 1989 World Tour.
Less than two months into the tour, Zayn Malik left the band. His last performance with the group was in Hong Kong on 18 March. The group continued touring as a foursome and began recording new material that was released in the second half of the year. This was One Direction's last tour before an indefinite hiatus began in 2016.

Background

The tour was announced on the Australian breakfast television program Today on 18 May 2014. The group will be making their debut performance in some countries on this tour. On 19 January 2015, it was announced that Australian pop singer Samantha Jade would be the opening act for the Australian shows, alongside McBusted.
On 19 March 2015, Zayn Malik announced his decision to exit the tour, citing "stress". Six days later, on 25 March, the band announced Malik's decision to permanently exit the group, citing his desire to live a "normal 22-year old life" and that the remaining members would continue as a four-piece group. In a statement, they said:
On 1 June 2015, the North American tour was officially announced as a part of 14th Annual Honda Civic Tours.

During the August 18th show in Columbus, Ohio, Liam was accused of homophobia by LGBT fans when he said, before performing "Girl Almighty", "It is about trying to find that number one woman of your life, which none of you can relate to, because most of you are girls. Except for the boys in here, you know what I'm talking about." He later called the backlash disproportionate on Twitter.
