Tonight, One Direction alum Louis Tomlinson brought his Faith in The Future Tour to a packed Place Bell! During opening sets by The Academic and Snarls, the venue filled up to a brim, with the first few rows having been here since the wee hours of the morning. Tonight was Louis’ first visit to Montreal as a solo artist (and 8 years after One Direction’s show at the Olympic Stadium), so this was without saying a highly-anticipated return.
His set started with a literal bang, as pyro lit up the stage to the opening lyrics of The Greatest. Throughout the setlist, him and his band mostly performed songs from his 2022 album Faith in the Future, with a few songs from his debut album Walls, and some nods to his 1D past with fan-favourites Night Changes and Where Do Broken Hearts Go. His set is generous, filled with interactions with his loyal fanbase, and ending on upbeat track Silver Tongues.
In his 90 minutes onstage, Louis Tomlinson showed that he’s definitely grown out of his boy band days, and has what it takes to shine solo. The Faith In The Future Tour will be playing Toronto’s Bud Stage tomorrow, and in Vancouver at the end of June. For tickets and more info, visit his website.
