Main article: 2013 World Tour
In May 2012, One Direction began recording their second studio album in Sweden.[81][82] In April 2012, the group disclosed that they wanted to contribute more to the songwriting for their second album. Styles stating, "we're always writing on the road and in hotels and airports. We don’t ever want our music to sound like a 40-year-old man in an office has written it and given it to us to perform."[83]Talking about how they want their new material to sound, Tomlinson stated: "We want to take the next album into a different zone — more guitars and grungier. We like the sound of a real guitar on tour, we beefed up the live show so now we want to take it onto the album."[84] The album is set for release in late 2012.[85]
One Direction's world tour is set to begin in February 2013.[86][87] The tour thus far consists of 101 shows in the UK, Ireland, North America and Australasia. In the UK and Ireland, ticket sales reached 300,000 within a day of release respectively, which included a six date sell out at London's The O2 Arena.[88][89] In North America, the group added additional shows due to "overwhelming demand".[90] In Australian and New Zealand markets, tickets grossed US$15.7 million, with all 190,000 tickets being sold for eighteen shows to be held in Australia and New Zealand.[7][91]
