The pop star launched his Stairway to the Sky tour last year. Zayn shared his excitement with his fans as he declared: "VEGAS!! JAN 2026!!" A helicopter will also fly down the iconic Las Vegas Strip to announce the news.

Zayn found fame as one fifth of the chart-topping group One Direction in 2010 alongside Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. He toured last year for the very first time solo but following Liam's tragic death, he made the decision to postpone several dates of his tour.

At the end of Zayn's concerts, he shared a tribute to Liam during his 2024 track, Stardust. He also performed a sold-out concert in Liam's hometown of Wolverhampton, where the screen read: "Liam Payne 1993 – 2024. Love you bro," alongside a pink heart.

Zayn told the crowd: "I've been doing something, at the end of the show, every night, and it's been dedicated to my brother Liam Payne. Rest in peace. I hope you're seeing this, we're in your hometown tonight, Wolverhampton, this is for you, Liam."

Just a couple weeks ago, Zayn thrilled fans when he reunited with former bandmember Louis.They were estranged for several years after they fell out in 2015 following a testy exchange on social media.

When Zayn's producer at the time - Naughty Boy - slammed Louis on Twitter, now X, the singer accused him of "riding on the back of someone else's career," referencing Zayn, leading to a rift between the singers, which was showing no signs of sorting itself out.

However, the End of the Day stars appeared to have put the past behind them as they posed, smiling for a selfie with a fan in New York, sending Directioners wild.

A fan page for Zayn and Louis shared the photo, captioning it: "LOUIS AND ZAYN IN NEW YORK WITH A FAN!!!!!" Responding, another person commented: "I CANT BELIEVE IT OMGGGG."

A third asked: "IM SORRY WHAT???!" And a fourth gushed: "Omggggg Zouis!!!! This makes my heart so happy!!" Speculating whether huge news could be on the cards, wondering if Zayn could be performing at Louis' Away From Home festival in New York in October, another fan mused: ""Waaaait a minute… could this mean Zayn will be at AFHF this year. possibly even performing?!?!"

"I mean Lou did say he had some things up his sleeve," said another, as the rumour mill online churned at pace.
