Biography

London, United Kingdom (2010 – present)

There are two bands under the name One Direction

1. One Direction is a well known boy band from the United Kingdom

2. One Direction is a pop punk band of the United States

1. One Direction is a five-member boy band made up of Liam Payne (born 29 August 1993) from Wolverhampton, Louis Tomlinson (born 24 December 1991) from Doncaster, Niall Horan (born 13th September 1993) from Mullingar, Westmeath, Ireland, Harry Styles, (born 1 February 1994) from Holmes Chapel, Cheshire and Zayn Malik, (born 12 January 1993) from East Bowling, Bradford. They applied as solo candidates on the 2010 edition of the X Factor, but the judges, after a suggestion by Simon Cowell, put them in a band in London, UK; therefore qualifying for the Groups category.

One Direction’s first single, What Makes You Beautiful, received its first airplay on August 10, 2011 and was released a month later on September 11, 2011. It was the fastest selling single of the year 2011 and peaked at #1 on the UK Singles Chart. The boys released their second single Gotta Be You on November 13th peaking at #3 on the UK Singles Chart. Their album Up All Night followed on November 21st reaching #2 on the UK Albums Chart, narrowly missing out on #1 to Rihanna. When their album Up All Night was released in the USA, it debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts, setting the record for the highest-selling debut album by a British boy band.

Tickets for their first headlining UK tour went on sale October 1st 2011 and all 22 dates sold out within 12 minutes.

    Luckly enough I managed to attend their concert in Cardiff avoiding all the chaos that the one here in Brazil will be... I predict around 90% of the audience having heart attacks and fainting before they go on stage.

    to being jealous that they never came to Brazil? Just because they are considerate of fans WORLDWIDE? You speak ill of Brazil that exists here only the best fans in the world and everybody knows it, every artist who comes here is shocked and always comes back with 1D will be no different I have only pity is you who thinks fans Brazilians do not even deserve to be called fans.
