Good news Louis Tomlinson fans: the former One Direction singer is prepping his third solo studio album and he sounds pretty, pretty chuffed about it. On Tuesday (Sept. 9) the “Walls” singer announced that the unnamed LP is coming along nicely.
“Just sat listening to the new record and I’ve got a really really good feeling this time around!” he wrote on X. “Can’t wait for you all to hear it!!”
Fans were equally excited, writing in the comments, “None of your records have disappointed thus far! Can’t wait!!,” “we also eager to hear it,” “count the days to listen to it!! I’m sure it’s going to be great!,” “sure just make us jealous that we can’t hear it yet” and “So so so so so ready to hear it!!”
The album will be the follow-up to 2022’s Faith in the Future, which featured the singles “Bigger Than Me,” “Out of My System” and “Silver Tongues.” That LP debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 album chart and was Tomlinson’s first to debut at No. 1 on the UK album charts.
Tomlinson has not yet announced a release date or title for his third effort, though he has begun lining up some live dates in the meantime and it sounds like fans might get a sneak peek next month. When a fan expressed frustration at the lack of information, Tomlinson teased, “or maybe I’m going to play something new at away from home,” following up with “it’s about time isn’t it” and “Really really excited about it! Got a few surprises. Should be fun.”
Tomlinson will headline the upcoming New York edition of his Away From Home Festival (Oct. 4-5) at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, where he will appear alongside his curated list of fellow performers, which include Lauv, Steve Aoki, Plain White T’s, Daya, Circa Waves, Pale Waves and others.
He’s also on the roster for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge Month 2025 in October, which will find a roster of superstars performing on the network’s morning radio show at noon GMT on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays throughout the month. Tomlinson will take the stage on Oct. 29, following sets from Olivia Dean, Conan Gray, Myles Smith, MGK, PinkPantheress, Robbie Williams, The Last Dinner Party, Skye Newman, Reneé Rapp, Lewis Capaldi, Demi Lovato, Wet Leg and Mumford & Sons. Live Lounge guests typically perform one of their own songs as well as a cover song.
