Sunderland's home will welcome British boyband One Direction next year as the former X Factor stars stop off in the North-East while on tour.

Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan will perform at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday, May 28 as part of their 'Where We Are' global tour.

The home of the Premier League club are offering concert hospitality packages for One Direction fans after the initial allocation was sold out.
