The good news is that Niall Horan has announced North American tour dates. The bad news? They’re not till 2027.
Niall’s Dinner Party Live on Tour trek, in support of his upcoming album, Dinner Party, will get underway March 17, 2027, in St. Paul, Minnesota. That’s St. Patrick’s Day, which is appropriate, considering Niall is Irish.
The tour is set to wrap up May 29 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Presales start Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time, with tickets going on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local time via LiveNation.com. VIP packages will also be available at VIPNation.com.
Prior to 2027, U.S. fans will have two chances to see Niall live: He’s playing co-headlining stadium shows with country superstar Thomas Rhett in Nashville on July 9 and Hershey, Pennsylvania, on July 18.
Josh Groban fans will have three chances to see him perform live this year, and all those concerts will be different.
Following his tour with Jennifer Hudson, which kicks off June 2 and wraps up July 3, Josh will embark on a solo tour called Stage, Screen, and Symphony. The tour will focus on famous movie songs from his new album, Cinematic, and the Broadway show tunes from his 2015 album, Stages. Josh will be performing with a full symphony orchestra during that tour, which stars Aug. 11 and ends Sept. 3.
“I’ve always been drawn to music that tells a story, whether it’s on the Broadway stage, in film, or through a great symphonic arrangement,” Josh says in a statement. “This tour is a chance for me to bring all of those worlds together while sharing many of the songs that have inspired me throughout my career. Performing this music alongside some of the best orchestras in the world each night is going to be incredibly special.”
Presales for that new tour start Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time; tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local. Visit JoshGroban.com for tickets.
And if you can’t make it out to see Josh on either of those tours, you can see him in October when he returns to Las Vegas for another installment of GEMS: The Las Vegas Residency. He’ll play The Colosseum at Caesars Palace from Oct. 2 through Oct. 10.
As previously reported, Josh will appear on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday and perform on The Kelly Clarkson Show Thursday.

(WASHINGTON) — Cole Allen, the suspect in the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, pleaded not guilty on Monday to all counts.
Allen — who is accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump at the April dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel — faces four felony counts, including attempted assassination of the President of the United States, assault on a federal law enforcement officer with a deadly weapon, transportation of a firearm and ammunition over state lines with the intent to commit a felony and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.
The armed 31-year-old was tackled by law enforcement after rushing through a security checkpoint at the hotel, where thousands of journalists as well as Trump and members of his Cabinet were gathered for the annual event, according to prosecutors. Allen allegedly wrote that administration officials were his targets, according to a criminal complaint.
Allen, who did not speak at all during Monday’s hearing, wore an orange prison jumpsuit and was shackled around his hands and feet. He looked down at the ground when the charges against him were read.
Allen’s defense attorneys said they might seek to have the entire U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia recused from the case, arguing they could potentially be a victim overseeing the prosecution.
Defense attorney Eugene Ohm argued that U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro’s “very public” and “close” relationship with Trump — who was the alleged intended target of the attack — might also play a factor in potentially recusing herself.
Judge Trevor McFadden seemed to want to get clarity about what both Pirro and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s roles are in the prosecution.
The government has until May 22 to respond to the defense’s motion.

Brad Paisley’s opening his Tacklebox to share unreleased and previously unrecorded music from the ’90s as well as new music inspired by the ’80s and ’90s.
“I see this ‘project’ as never-ending,” he explains. “It’s almost like the fans have a direct link to my Dropbox or to a playlist that never ends. We are calling it Tacklebox because it’s a box full of hooks, country lyric hooks.”
“In this digital age, I have every song I’ve ever written at my fingertips,” he continues. “This project gave us a license to dig back into the catalog of songs that were never released, that feel like a time period, a style of writing, a sound, and nostalgia. … When I first started writing and recording music, I couldn’t have dreamed of the ability to put something out instantly for the fans.”
Look for even more from Tacklebox later this week.

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump sounded off on Sunday about Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett over their joining the majority in the court’s opinion on his tariff policy, a ruling that said the president could not use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose broad tariffs.
“They were appointed by me, and yet have hurt our Country so badly!” Trump wrote on his social media platform on Sunday evening. “I do not believe they meant to do so, but their decision on Tariffs cost the United States 159 Billion Dollars that we have to pay back to enemies, and people, companies, and Countries, that have been ripping us off for years. It’s hardly believable!”
He added, “They could have solved that situation with a ‘tiny’ sentence, ‘Any money paid by others to the United States does not have to be paid back.’ Why wouldn’t they have done so?”
In a 6-3 decision, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court in February invalidated most of Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, a cornerstone of his economic policy in his second term.
“We claim no special competence in matters of economics or foreign affairs. We claim only, as we must, the limited role assigned to us by Article III of the Constitution,” Roberts wrote in the opinion. “Fulfilling that role, we hold that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs.”
Justices Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh and Samuel Alito dissented from the majority, arguing that Trump should have the power to impose tariffs during national emergencies.
Trump in March had railed on social media against the U.S. court system, saying at the time that Gorsuch and Barrett, both of whom the president appointed during his first term, were attempting to go “out of their way, with bad and wrongful rulings and intentions, to prove how ‘honest,’ ‘independent,’ and ‘legitimate’ they are.”
Gorsuch and Barrett have been reliable conservative votes on the court, consistently voting in favor of positions backed by the Trump administration. Last year, Barrett authored the landmark 6-3 decision restricting the ability of lower court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions against Trump policies.
Gorsuch last week responded publicly to Trump’s previous personal attacks, telling ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis that he is determined to remain “independent” and “fearless” in fulfilling his duty despite harsh criticism from the president who appointed him.
Trump also appeared to suggest on Sunday that Republican-appointed justices should never rule against a Republican president despite the fact that justices have previously ruled against the president that appointed them.
“With certain Republican Nominated Justices that we have on the Supreme Court, the Democrats don’t really need to ‘PACK THE COURT’ any longer,” he said. “In fact, I should be the one wanting to PACK THE COURT! I’m working so hard to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and then people that I appointed have shown so little respect to our Country, and its people. What is the reason for this? They have to do the right thing, but it’s really OK for them to be loyal to the person that appointed them to ‘almost’ the highest position in the land, that is, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court.”
Trump on Sunday also said he believed the Supreme Court would block his attempt to limit access to birthright citizenship. The court heard a case on April 1 over Trump’s executive order.
“I don’t want loyalty, but I do want and expect it for our Country,” Trump said.
“Well, maybe Neil, and Amy, just had a really bad day, but our Country can only handle so many decisions of that magnitude before it breaks down, and cracks!!!” he added. “Sometimes decisions have to be allowed to use Good, Strong, Common Sense as a guide. A negative ruling on Birthright Citizenship, on top of the recent Supreme Court Tariff catastrophe, is not Economically sustainable for the United States of America?”

Dua Lipa is suing Samsung Electronics for at least $15 million, alleging the tech giant used her image on television packaging without authorization to help market and sell TVs.
According to a complaint obtained by ABC News and filed in California federal court on Thursday, the Grammy-winning singer accused Samsung of copyright infringement after the company allegedly placed a copyrighted image of her on the front of cardboard television boxes sold at retail stores across the United States.
“Recognizing Ms. Lipa’s notoriety and goodwill, Samsung used a copyrighted image of Ms. Lipa…without authority or license and prominently featured it on the front of cardboard boxes containing Samsung manufactured televisions for retail sale,” the complaint states.
The lawsuit alleges Samsung ignored repeated demands to stop using the image.
“Samsung has refused to comply with Ms. Lipa’s repeated demands that it cease and desist from infringing on her rights by the continued exploitation of the Infringing Products,” the filing says. “Samsung’s response has been dismissive and callous, and the Infringing Products remain on the market to this day, still being sold throughout the country in ongoing acts of willful infringement.”
The image in question was allegedly taken during the 2024 Austin City Limits Music Festival, according to the complaint.
Lipa’s legal team argued the unauthorized use of her likeness helped boost sales of Samsung televisions.
The filing cites one consumer who allegedly wrote they purchased a TV after seeing Lipa featured on the packaging.
The singer’s attorneys also said Lipa is highly selective about the brands and partnerships she aligns herself with.
“Ms. Lipa is highly selective in her commercial partnerships and has cultivated a premium brand through carefully curated, high-end sponsorships and endorsements,” the complaint states. “Consistent with this deliberate strategy, Plaintiff would not have agreed to license her name, image or likeness in connection with the sale of the Infringing Products.”
ABC News has reached out to representatives for Lipa and Samsung Electronics for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
Samsung has not publicly responded to the allegations.

Fans of The Beatles will have a new reason to plan a trip to London next year.
It was just announced that 3 Savile Row, the early location of the band’s Apple Corps headquarters, in Mayfair, London, will open its doors as the first-ever official Beatles fan experience.
The Beatles at 3 Savile Row, opening in 2027, will consist of seven floors filled with never-before-seen archival material from Apple Corps Ltd, along with rotating exhibits, a recreation of the original studio where the band recorded Let it Be, a fan store and more. Fans will also be able to access the building’s rooftop where The Beatles performed their famous Jan. 30, 1969, rooftop concert, their final public performance together.
“It was such a trip to get back to 3 Savile Row recently and have a look around,” says Paul McCartney. “There are so many special memories within the walls, not to mention the rooftop. The team have put together some really impressive plans and I’m excited for people to see it when it’s ready.”
Ringo Starr adds, “Wow, it’s like coming home.”
And that’s not all. It seems a second yet-to-be-revealed experience is also in the works, with details to be announced at a later date. Fans can register now to be the first to hear more news when its announced.
Not to be confused with the tech company Apple, Apple Corps LTD is a multimedia company founded by The Beatles in the 1960s, and included Apple Records, which the band launched in 1968.
