Niall Horan - The Show: The Encore

The Show is the third studio album by Irish singer Niall Horan, originally released in June 2023 via Capitol Records.

On his long-awaited third album The Show, multi-platinum-selling singer songwriter Niall Horan matches the pure emotion of his globally beloved past work with a powerful new element of soul-searching reflection.

The follow-up to Heartbreak Weather (a 2020 release that hit No. 1 in the U.K. and Ireland and earned praise from the likes of NPR and Rolling Stone), The Show came to life after the 29-year-old artist spontaneously composed its introspective title track late one night on piano, immediately unlocking never- before-explored dimensions of his creativity.

With its deeply felt meditation on everything from mental health to the infinite complexity and uncertainty of love, the result is an endlessly spellbinding statement on following your heart to its absolute truth.

The Show has met with critical acclaim from music critics scoring 83 out of 100 on the aggregator site Metacritic, which indicates “universal acclaim”.

The album has reached #1 on the Australian, New Zealand and UK albums charts.

After debuting atop the charts in numerous countries with his third album, The Show, Niall Horan returns with The Show: The Encore – a deluxe edition featuring 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 new live recordings from the Electric Picnic festival and Spotify Studios, plus alternate versions from Niall’s Vevo Extended Play session.

This double album 2LP record set is a deluxe edition on translucent ruby red (LP1) and tan (LP2) coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve, pressed in Europe via Capitol Records.
