One Direction fans will enjoy one day event for an exclusive dvd launch and fan party on May 28th at 10 A.M. in Sky Dome of SM North EDSA.
SM City North Edsa, Astroplus,
Smart, MYX and Ivory Music & Video, the exclusive licensee of Sony Music in
the Philippines, present the biggest DVD event of the year – One Direction’s Up
All Night - The Live Tour DVD Fan Party!
Meet Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam
Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson - together they are One Direction. It's
hard to believe that just two years ago these five boyshadn't evenmet each
other. But with the help of the biggest television show in the UK, The X
Factor, their millions of loyal fans and some killer songs, One Direction have
just seen their debut album go to number one in 15 countries around the world.
They have become a global phenomenon.
While the UK applauded the boys
success, the news came that they had been offered a record deal in America –
they were to sign to Columbia Records. The deal was made and in February 2012,
Niall, Zayn, Liam, Harry and Louis went out to America to promote their debut
single. They began a gruelling tour of the States, visiting radio stations and
fans wherever they could and playing on world-renowned TV shows like The Today
Show and Saturday Night Live. And their hard work paid off "What Makes You
Beautiful‟ debuted at No.28 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the highest
entry for a British group‟s debut single since the Spice Girls ' Wannabe‟ in 1997.
As One Direction continued on their
travels, so the 1D Mania grew and the phenomenon gathered meteoric pace. Fans
would line the streets outside studios, hotels and malls, hoping to meet their
idols. In March 2012, the news came that Up All Night had entered the US
Billboard 200 chart at number one – making music history as the first UK group
to debut at No.1 with the debut album. The boys had done it, they‟d officially
cracked America!
It wasn't just
America either – Up All Night had gone to number one in 15 different countries
across the world including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Sweden and Mexico.
The group celebrated this astounding achievement by announcing they would play
a headline show at the incredible Madison. Square Garden in New York in
December – a venue that has played host to the likes of Michael Jackson, Elton
John, The Foo Fighters, Madonna and The Rolling Stones.
“We actually can't believe we got a
number one album in America,” Harry laughs. “We‟re just
teenage boys, how did that happen? And now we get to play some of the most
incredible venues in the world. We‟re so lucky.”
April saw One Direction pick up two
Nickelodeon Kids' Choice awards in LA, where they performed on stage alongside the
likes of Katy Perry and Justin Bieber and in front of the First Lady of the
United States, Michelle Obama. Their success was unprecedented and they now
even had a celebrity following with the likes of Joe Jonas, Selena Gomez and
Taylor Swift speaking out about how much they adored these five boys from over
the pond.
“That was one of the most surreal
days ever,” Liam revealed at the time. “Will Smith, Taylor Swift, Justin
Bieber, Michelle Obama - wow what it going on with my life!”
In celebration, they took their Up
All Night tour to Australia and New Zealand. And it was from there that they
announced that they will be going on an arena tour around North America this
summer and then again in 2013 as part of their World Tour.
Niall smiles, “We‟re very luck
lads. And we can‟t wait to tour North America in the summer. And I‟m so proud
to be flying the flag for Ireland.”
Contemplating their whirlwind rise
to fame and their amazing success, Liam smiles, “It's amazing to
think back to when we were first put together - and to the point we are at now.
Things have moved so quickly, it's got all of us in a massive
state of shock. It's so surreal to think of everything - like wining the BRIT, doing
our first UK tour, having our first number one. I can't believe
all of this has happened to us five lucky guys. We love our fans and owe all
our success entirely to them – we want them to know that.”
“And not only have I had a lot of
fun making music and working in the music industry but I've made the
four best mates and four brothers that I'd always wanted. I couldn't ask to
work with four nicer guys and I‟m very proud to be in One Direction.”
The final word from Simon Cowell :
“I couldn‟t be happier for One Direction, it is an incredible achievement.
They deserve it. They have the best fans in the world.”
