Niall Horan is officially going country, at least for one night. The former One Direction star and current coach on The Voice will step onto the Grand Ole Opry House stage for the first time on Tuesday, July 7, joining the venue’s year‑long 100th‑anniversary celebration.
Horan’s debut comes as he rolls through Nashville in the middle of a fresh album cycle and a run of major summer shows alongside Thomas Rhett.
Debut Date, New Album And Big‑Room Shows
According to WZTV, Horan is booked for the Grand Ole Opry House on July 7 and is using the stop to spotlight his fourth solo album, Dinner Party. The outlet notes that he recently teamed up with Thomas Rhett on a new version of “Old Tricks,” and the pair will co‑headline stadium dates this summer.
Tickets for Horan’s tour appearances, including his Nashville stop, are listed on his official site, NiallHoran.com.
