Zayn Malik has announced new dates for his highly anticipated solo tour, following the postponement of the U.S. leg due to the recent death of his former One Direction bandmate, Liam Payne.
Malik shared the updated tour schedule on his Instagram Stories on October 23, just days after expressing his sorrow over Payne's passing on October 16.
The 31-year-old singer will kick off his “Stairway to the Sky” tour in the UK by the end of November, with performances starting in Washington, D.C., on January 21, 2025.
The tour will also include stops in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, culminating in San Francisco on February 3.

Originally scheduled for October and November of this year, these performances were pushed back as Malik grieved the "heartbreaking loss" of Payne. He paid tribute to his late friend on social media, reminiscing about Payne’s unwavering support during tough times. "I never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times," Malik shared, highlighting Payne's wisdom and strong character.
This tour marks Malik's first solo venture in a decade since his departure from One Direction, the boy band that rose to fame after forming on ‘The X Factor’ in 2010, alongside Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson.
