One Direction's 2015 tour of Australia
The "On the Road Again" tour was significant for several reasons. Firstly, it was the fourth and final headlining concert tour by One Direction before their hiatus in 2016. The tour also marked the last performances of Zayn Malik as a member of the band. Zayn's final performance with the group was in Hong Kong on 18 March 2015, and he publicly announced his departure during their show in Indonesia on 25 March. Despite these changes, the group continued the tour as a foursome and recorded new material released later that year.
The tour was a commercial success, grossing $208 million from 77 shows and selling over 2.3 million tickets. It became the second highest-grossing concert tour of 2015, only behind Taylor Swift's "The 1989 World Tour". The success of the tour demonstrated the strong fan base and popularity of One Direction in Australia and worldwide.
One Direction's time in Australia during the tour also included memorable moments beyond their performances. The band members, including Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson, enjoyed surfing and embraced Australian culture by hugging koalas. These experiences added to the unique connection the band shared with their Australian fans.
Overall, One Direction's 2015 tour of Australia was a significant and successful chapter in the band's history, offering a combination of memorable performances and cultural experiences that strengthened their bond with Australian fans.

The band's 10-year anniversary in 2020
One Direction celebrated their 10-year anniversary in 2020 with heartfelt messages on social media and an interactive website for fans. The band, formed on the UK's The X Factor in 2010, went on to become a global sensation, with sold-out stadium tours and adoring fans worldwide.
On the anniversary, the remaining band members, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson, took to Instagram and Twitter to share their thoughts and memories. Liam Payne led the charge with an adorable post, followed by the others. Louis Tomlinson's message included a shout-out to Zayn Malik, who left the group in 2015, and the crew that worked tirelessly with the band.
To commemorate the occasion, the band launched the '10 Years of 1D' website, which featured videos, artwork, and milestones from their career. Fans could also create personalised mixtapes. The website, unfortunately, crashed due to high traffic. The band also released a YouTube video celebrating their journey and four new EPs with bonus content.
One Direction's anniversary was a nostalgic and emotional day for fans, who took to social media to express their love and memories. Despite the band's hiatus in 2016 and the members' subsequent solo careers, the anniversary reminded everyone of the impact and influence One Direction had on music and their fans.
Although there were rumours of a reunion, it did not occur, but the anniversary served as a celebration of the band's achievements and the joy they brought to their fans.

The tour commenced on 19 September 2017 in San Francisco and concluded on 14 July 2018 in Inglewood, comprising 89 shows. Styles' 2017 shows sold out in seconds across 29 markets, and the tour as a whole was a sell-out.

Styles' setlists included covers of One Direction's "Story of My Life", performed during his 2017 shows in New York City, Boston, Washington D.C., Atlanta, and Dallas, and Little Big Town's "Girl Crush", performed in Nashville and Tokyo in 2017.

Styles' tour raised a total of $1.2 million in charity donations from ticket and merchandise sales for 62 charities worldwide. The tour also registered hundreds of new voters in the US and engaged in a major effort for water conservation, saving the equivalent of 10,000 single-use water bottles.
