This past weekend (June 28 and June 29), the former One Direction member held two concerts at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada, but was facing heavy traffic and ended up walking to the venue on foot in order to make it on time for the June 28 show.
In a video posted on Instagram (see slide seven below), Horan said while walking: “Traffic too crazy in Toronto, so I’m walking to the venue.” The video then shows Horan and his crew walking to the video with a long tow of cars stuck in terrible traffic beside them, soundtracked by the Proclaimers’ ‘I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)’.
“In all my years of playing shows I don’t think I’ve ever walked into a venue,” Horan said before exclaiming “We’ve made it!” upon arriving at the Scotiabank Arena.

Niall Horan most recently released his album ‘The Show’ in early June last year. Speaking to NME ahead of the album’s release, Horan said of the record: “The last time I wrote an album I did less thinking. You don’t in your early 20s, you don’t think too much at all – well I didn’t anyway, probably just immaturity of me. But I think with pandemics and relationships and things like that, you subconsciously grow as a person. And then production wise and what I’m saying [lyrically], it just sounds like something that a 30-year-old would release. Not a youthful version of what I did before.”
