Niall Horan interview
Seacrest interviews Horan during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his bands Where We Are World Tour.
It’s going to be a lot different [than our previous tours]. First of all, we’re playing in stadiums, which is new to us all. The stage is going to be huge and it’s going to be a 3-D effect for us and we have three albums worth of songs to play, we just cant wait to play. Playing the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles is mind blowing.
