Harry Styles Joins Niall Horan’s Concert, Sings One Direction’s ‘Stockholm Syndrome’

Harry Styles was recently spotted enjoying Niall Horan’s concert during ‘The Show Live’ on Tour at Co-op Live in Manchester. A fan-captured video shows Styles, dressed in a yellow cardigan and white T-shirt, dancing and singing along as Horan performed a cover of One Direction’s ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ from their 2014 album ‘Four’. This album was the last to feature all the original members, including Zayn Malik, who left the band in 2015 before they went on an indefinite hiatus.

In the video, Styles can be seen waving his arms and moving to the rhythm, fully immersed in the moment. The crowd can be heard singing along with Horan, especially during the lyrics, “Oh, baby, you got me tied down. Oh, baby, I’ll never leave if you keep holding me this way.” The sight of Styles at his former bandmate’s concert sent fans into a frenzy, reigniting nostalgia for One Direction.

Horan’s tour, which supports his third solo album The Show, has seen appearances from other big-name artists, including Ed Sheeran, who joined him on stage during a Dublin show. Horan captured the moment on Instagram, calling it “another great memory.” 

As for Styles, this isn’t the first time he’s shown a soft spot for his One Direction days; he previously shared, and then deleted, a gym selfie wearing old band merchandise, sparking excitement among fans.

Styles addressed the deleted post later during his tour, saying, “I guess some of us have secrets. Maybe, like some people, you want to keep something to yourself, and maybe one day you will accidentally post it to your Instagram Story.” This moment, combined with his presence at Horan’s concert, has fans speculating about the bond between the former bandmates.

Earlier in the year, Styles also acknowledged his One Direction roots during the BRIT Awards, where he won British Artist of the Year. In his acceptance speech, he thanked his former bandmates, saying, “I want to thank Niall, Louis, Liam, and Zayn because I wouldn’t be here without you either. Thank you so much.” Styles’ appearance at Horan’s concert adds to the growing sense of camaraderie and nostalgia for One Direction’s legacy.
