Festival History and Significance
Tomlinson launched the Away From Home festival in London in 2021 as a celebration of the return of live music following the pandemic-induced shutdowns. Since its inception, the festival has expanded internationally, making stops in Malaga, Spain in 2022, Camaiore, Italy in 2023, and Mérida, Mexico last year. The events have featured various well-known artists, including The Cribs, DMA’s, Hinds, and The Vaccines.
Tomlinson, a former member of the globally successful group One Direction, has continued to build his solo career since the band released their final album in 2015. He has put out two full-length albums: Walls in 2020, which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart, and Faith in the Future in 2022, which reached No. 5. Recently, in May, he shared images from the studio with his 19 million Instagram followers, hinting at new music in the works.
The launch of the Away From Home festival in the U.S. not only marks an important milestone for Tomlinson but also reflects a growing demand for live music events as audiences eagerly embrace the concert experience once again. With a diverse lineup and an engaging atmosphere, the festival aims to create memorable moments for fans and artists alike.
