Niall Horan has told Capital listeners to expect surprise guests when his Dinner Party tour gets underway this year.
Speaking to Jimmy Hill on The Capital Evening Show, Niall revealed that friends could make unexpected appearances during his upcoming shows, adding an extra element for fans to look out for.
The singer was asked whether there was a particular part of the show he was especially looking forward to performing, and pointed to a special acoustic section.
Niall explained: “Yeah, one hundred per cent! I always try and have a bit of ebb and flow in the energy of the show.”
He said the concert would begin with plenty of energy before moving into a quieter section, with the acoustic part of the performance set to be particularly important to him.
“It is no secret that I have an acoustic part of the show and this time it is very special,” Niall told Jimmy.
“It is my favourite part of the show by a mile. And I can’t wait for the fans to see what we’ve got planned for it.”
Jimmy then asked whether fans could expect surprise guests to appear during the shows, suggesting it had become increasingly popular for artists to bring friends on stage.
Niall hinted that unexpected appearances could be part of the Dinner Party experience, saying he has regularly tried to bring people into his shows when the opportunity arises.
“Maybe they will jump out! I’ve always kind of done that as much as I can, yeah,” he said.
Niall explained that he will contact friends who happen to be nearby and see whether they can join him during a performance.
“If anyone is around, I’ll always pre-empt it and text a few people I know or whatever,” he said.
His message to fans was clear, adding: “And yeah, expect them that’s what I’d say.”
Niall’s comments came ahead of his first concert of 2026, giving fans another reason to keep an eye out for unexpected moments when the Dinner Party tour arrives.
