Tomlinson first rose to fame as a member of acclaimed and world-famous X-Factor born band One Direction, composed of himself, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne. The group announced a hiatus in early 2016, shortly after Malik had left the band to pursue a solo career, but promised fans they would get back together soon. However the members soon begun releasing their own music as soloist artists, and quickly the short “eighteen months hiatus” that they had promised turned into almost ten years. In a 2023 Interview with Times, the singer revealed that he was “mortified and bitter” over the band’s break up.
In his time with One Direction, Tomlinson accumulated four number one albums and four number one songs. In his solo career so far, the singer has released two full length albums, titled ‘Walls‘ and ‘Faith in the Future’, plus a live collection. With ‘Walls‘, his debut album, Tomlinson peaked at number four and spent three weeks on charts; the only song off album which was featured on Official Charts’s Top Singles Chart is ‘Two of Us‘, a beautifully written ballad about loss and griefs.
‘Faith in the Future‘, released in late 2022, was Tomlinson’s first solo album to achieve the number one position, and then went on to spend six week in the top 100.
Both albums were followed by an extensive tour, and many festivals some of which organised by Tomlinson himself. The artist has, in fact, set up his own festival called ‘The Away From Home Festival‘, a one-day set of concerts which has so far been brought to London, Spain, Italy and most recently, in 2024, Mexico. The festival, which has taken place every summer after 2021, has yet to announce whether it will take place, and where, in 2025.
While Tomlinson has not yet confirmed the release of any new songs or records in 2025, his social media posts make it clear that the artist is set for an important year and is excited to share new projects with fans.
