did you ever see rbb irl like did you go to a show that they were at?

yes i did! at the indiana date of otra. iirc they were holding fishing poles or something of the sort. our seats were on the catwalk area where they were so my friend and i immediately went over there and saw them up close. people were taking photos of them and standing in line to see them it was wild. i cannot imagine what all these fans must've looked like to parents and those who didn't know anything about rbb by freaking out over stuffed animals lol

i hope the live album will help louis get the recognition he deserves. and i hope more people give him a chance. because the truth is, louis really writes his songs for live performances. and even tho i love fitf with my whole heart, listening to it live makes it even more magnetic. and just hearing the audience, you can literally feel the connection he has with us. truly a masterpiece.

Louis Tomlinson has dropped a surprise album ‘Live’ – featuring songs that he recorded at 15 shows across 15 different cities.

Announced and shared yesterday (April 25), the album comes after the singer and former One Direction member embarked on two world tours over the past three years – playing just shy of 200 shows globally.

Now, a variety of performances from both tours – the ‘Louis Tomlinson World Tour’ and the ‘Faith in the Future World Tour’ – have been compiled into a new live album, which is available now.

Fifteen songs are included in the tracklist, and each was recorded in a different city, at a different show from across the three-year run. The album comes in both digital and physical formats, and features his singles including ‘Bigger Than Me’, ‘We Made It, ‘Walls’ and ‘Out Of My System’, alongside fan favourite album tracks, all released live for the very first time.

“I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last 3 years touring the world twice over. The feeling I get sharing those live moments will be with me forever,” Tomlinson said in a statement. “To be able to record these songs from all over the world and put them out as an album like this feels so special, and a real tribute to the fans who make each and every show feel unique and incredible. Thank you! Enjoy!”

There are four exclusive tracks split between the physical editions of ‘Live’, including a special version of the One Direction classic ‘Where Do Broken Hearts Go’ – which is available only on the double CD.

Accompanying video clips of compiled tour footage will be shared on Louis’s social channels to support the release, showcasing a glimpse into his past three years on the road and 170 performances.

At time of writing, Tomlinson has shared two huge solo albums since departing from One Direction. His debut album arrived in the firm of 2020’s ‘Walls’, which has sold over 1.5 million copies, and the follow-up was called ‘Faith In The Future’. The latter went to Number One in the UK, Spain and Belgium, and Top 5 in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and across Europe.

Since May last year, Tomlinson has been on his ‘Faith In The Future World Tour’, which hits South America next month for its final leg. From there, the vocalist has a number of festival appearances lined up for the summer. Find remaining tickets to his shows here.

In other Louis Tomlinson news, earlier this week the singer, alongside Courteeners and English Teacher, were among the acts to be honoured at the first-ever Northern Music Awards.

The inaugural ceremony was hosted by the UK’s largest music therapy charity, Nordoff And Robbins and took place at the Albert Hall in Manchester; celebrating northern artists, festivals, venues and industry figures. The event saw Tomlinson named as Artist Of The Year.

i think its so funny that alumni from schools like harvard and columbia that were there during the protests in the 60s-80s are expressing support for students currently protesting against the genocide in palestine, and random zionists that were NOT at these protests in the 60s-80s have the never ending audacity to tell these alumni "well thats different, what you protested was good and what they're protesting is bad." as if protesters against the vietnam war and apartheid south africa were not also demonized, arrested, brutalized, and even killed for their activism. history only remembers them fondly after the damage has already been done.

#i think the wildest things about those gay ass bears besides well. everything and the dressing up and the concert messaging etc. #is that they used little smiley face puffy stickers to stick on the bottom of their feet that were the same color that matched to each #boy’s mic tape #to convey how they were feeling at that time #whether it was happy or sad or angry or irritated or giggly #like over everything else #seeing that boys in their early 20s in a boyband using stickers on more or less build-a-bear bdsm dressed gay bears #to communicate how they were feeling was fucking. insane when you think too much about it lol #like take everything else away it’s still. so crazy #i feel insane even trying to explain it here that it was a real thing that i experienced in real time for an entire tour and months after #in the most tumultuous time of the biggest boyband’s career at the time #it was like experiencing some kind of inside story as the band slowly crumbled around them and us lol
