Zayn Malik at O2 Academy: One Direction star and Bradford native returns to Leeds - last-minute tickets

Former boyband star and West Yorkshire native Zayn Malik is returning to Leeds next week.

Zayn shot to global superstardom as part of One Direction, alongside Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne.

The group sold millions of albums worldwide, but was rocked by tragedy last month with the untimely death of Liam Payne.

The Bradford-born singer has since carved out a successful solo career and recently released his fourth album, Room Under the Stairs.

On the record, Zayn - often dubbed the "bad boy" of One Direction - explores a mix of country and soul influences.

Supporting his latest release, Zayn will embark on a highly anticipated UK tour, which kicks off at the O2 Academy in Leeds on November 23.

The Leeds show has been sold out for weeks, but fans seeking last-minute tickets can find verified resale options on Ticketmaster, though they may cost slightly more than face value.

The tour comes after Zayn cancelled the remainder of his US dates, citing personal challenges and grief following Liam Payne’s passing in Argentina. However, his UK tour is still moving forward, giving fans a chance to see him perform live.
