Last we heard from Horan was when he released The Show: The Encore, a deluxe edition of his celebrated 2023 album, which features nine bonus tracks.
Horan collaborates with Lizzy McAlpine on a new version of “You Could Start A Cult,” and teams up with John Legend to reimagine the album’s title track. The collection also includes live recordings from the Electric Picnic festival and Spotify Studios plus alternate versions of “Meltdown” and “On A Night Like Tonight” from Horan’s Vevo Extended Play session.
A 2-LP vinyl edition of The Show: The Encore, contained in a 72-page hardcover 12” x 12” book was also made available to fans. The pinwheel-patterned vinyl rests in the cover sleeves of the volume, which is divided into three chapters that span recording, release, and festival touring.
The book includes over 100 photos (including some never-before-published shots), album lyrics, and corresponding handwritten letter prints penned by Horan. The Show: The Encore was also released in the traditional CD format and as a 2-LP gatefold format with translucent ruby and tan vinyl and new cover and gatefold imagery.
The Show debuted at No.1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and on Billboard’s Vinyl Albums tally—Horan’s biggest week ever for vinyl sales and the largest week for Capitol Records in the post-1991 era. The album also topped the charts in Horan’s native Ireland plus the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Holland, and Belgium.
Horan’s “The Show” Live on Tour 2024 was a massive success, selling so many tickets that a second night was added for his wildly anticipated performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
