Traffic warning issued as ex-One Direction star Niall Horan comes to Birmingham

Motorists have been warned to expect delays.

Birmingham roads are expected to be busier than usual as former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan comes to the city.

The 33-year-old Irish singer is set to perform at the Utilita Arena from 6pm in the first show of his Dinner Party: Live on Tour shows.

The tour supports his fourth album titled Dinner Party - which was written after meeting his long-time girlfriend for the first time at a friend's dinner party and features the track "End of an Era", which was re-written in memory of Wolverhampton-born ex-bandmate Liam Payne, who died, aged 31, from multiple traumatic injuries after falling from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina on October 16, 2024.

West Midlands Roads warned drivers to “expect traffic to be heavy in the area with pick-ups and drop-offs.”

Those commuting to the show can plan their journey with information on the Transport for West Midlands website.
