As you read this book, you will hear stories of when fans met Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis and Zayn (and when they met their bodyguards too!). Youll find out what the boys think of the different countries they visit and the flash mobs that fans do for them. The boys have spent lots of time in America, but they have been to lots of other countries too after all, they are the worlds biggest boyband! They want to visit every single country so they can thank Directioners everywhere for their support. It might take them a few years but theyll do it one day.
The boys tour manager and head of security is Paul Higgins from Ireland and all the boys are very close to him. Paul used to work with former X Factor winner Shayne Ward, Girls Aloud, Boyzone and Westlife. He keeps the boys safe in the different countries they visit. One of their bodyguards (until late 2012) was Andy Davies and many fans were gutted when he changed jobs. He had looked after the boys for nine months as they travelled around the world. The boys used to call him Baldy and he would stand guard outside their hotel rooms to make sure that no fans disturbed the boys through the night.
Youll also find out what the boys families are like from fans whove met them at concerts, signings and the hotels that the boys stay in while theyre away from home. Some fans queue up for days to get wristbands so they can attend signings; others send their dads to stand in line for them. Youll read all about the challenges fans had to do to win Go1Den Tickets to meet the boys in New York, and youll also find out what happens when fans wait for the boys outside recording studios. Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis and Zayn love all their fans, but there are some fans that are more like friends to the boys, as they have met them so many times and they know they can have a laugh with them. The boys love messing around and play fighting, and are so grateful when they receive artwork and unique gifts from the different countries they visit.
So what are you waiting for? Lets go around the world and follow in One Directions footsteps!
A s soon as The X Factor was over and the band had finished in third place, they were whisked off to LA by their record label. This was a huge deal because they were going to be recording with some of the best people in the record business. The boys had never expected things to go so fast its a good job they all had passports, so could jump on a plane!
Sonny Takhar, the chief executive officer of Syco Records, explained to Music Week, We started working with the band immediately after the show had finished they went to LA and recorded with RedOne. Then, while the boys were out on The X Factor tour between February and April, we started finding and sourcing songs and creating situations where songs were written for the boys in preparation for them to record once they had finished.
The boys love America. When Marie Morreale interviewed them for the Scholastic blog, she asked them what their first impressions of America were.
I really like it because its really hot over there and the people are actually really nice, Liam replied. So when you go to a restaurant and stuff and you
Even people in the street, Harry interrupted.
Yeah, people in the street as well, Liam continued, but in the restaurants, theyre always asking like
Hey, how you doing? Harry finished his sentence.
The common line in Florida after you finish your meal is, Have a good day, which is amazing, I think, said Liam. You dont really hear that in the UK.
The boys never thought that they would break America; they just thought they would be big in the UK and Ireland, so when they found out that their record company wanted to take them to the States, they were blown away. Even established UK artists with lots of number-one singles under their belts have flopped in America, but this wasnt going to happen to our favourite five lads. Were just five normal boys from the UK whove been given this opportunity, Harry confessed to The AP, so were having a great time working very hard.
Before the boys went over to America, their record company used social media to build a fan base and to get people talking about them. Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have been a large percentage of the reason weve been known outside of the UK. We owe a massive thank you to the fans, Harry explained.
A website was set up called (www.bring1dtous.com) and fans had to compete to win a visit by One Direction to their city. The website stated, Are you ready to bring 1D to your city? Visit www.Bring1DtoUS.com now to get started on the first challenge. Click on your city for directions about how you can earn points for your city. Each challenge will bring you one step closer to a special 1D event in your city!
The winning city was Dallas in Texas and the boys arrived on 24 March 2012. Demand for wristbands for the event was so high that the venue had to change from Stonebriar Centre Mall to the much bigger Dr Pepper Ballpark, home of the Frisco RoughRiders baseball team. Fans could get a signed copy of Up All Night and watch One Direction perform.
On 21 March 2012, American Directioners found out the Up All NightTour was going to be expanded to include 26 North American dates in May and June. The fans were thrilled and rushed out to get tickets as soon as they could. The bands friend Olly Murs, who had been runner-up in the 2009 series of The XFactor, and Filipino-American singer Manika supported the boys.
While she was on tour with them, Manika admitted in an interview that the boys had taught her some British slang words and that Zayn liked to drive a mini-scooter from the boys dressing room to the canteen and back.
When the boys were embarking on their first tour of America, they invited Radio 1 to go with them. Harry, Niall, Louis, Liam and Zayn were supporting American band Big Time Rush at ten gigs in February 2012 before going on their own tour. Before their Nashville gig, the boys were staying at the Sheraton Hotel, Tennessee. Im sat in a hotel room at the moment, having my hair done because I have a lot of hair, Harry told the Radio 1 crew. Were doing today a Nickelodeon bit of promo, so a little bit of makeup never hurt anyone. Tonight were playing in Nashville. I think were meeting some country singers. Were meeting Martina McBride and Faith Hill, who are coming to the show. Theyre gonna bring their kids to a, like, meet and greet, so that should be fun.
On a typical day on tour, the boys wake up somewhere new, catch up on a couple of hours sleep in a hotel room, have a shower, grab some breakfast and then jump on the tour bus. Then they get their hair/makeup done and head to a radio or television station for some interviews before going to the arena in which they will be performing that night. They might have a sound check, meet some fans, then have something to eat before heading on stage. After their performance, it is usually late and they have to jump back on the tour bus and be driven to a new city and a new hotel. They are literally on the go from the minute they get up in the morning until very late at night. They dont usually arrive at their new hotel until the early hours of the morning, but they still take time out to chat to any fans that are waiting there to see them. Some days they work for 20 or more hours!
