Annah Mac is no stranger to the stage, having previously toured with the likes of Kelly Clarkson and The Script. Her debut album ‘LITTLE STRANGER’ was released at the end of 2011.

One Direction’s tour of New Zealand sold out in less than ten minutes. Their 2013 UK/Ireland Arena Tour sold out immediately - an estimated 300,000 tickets were sold in the first day - resulting in further dates being added.

Earlier this week, One Direction performed their hit single What Makes You Beautiful on the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards which resulted in a star-studded audience sing-a-long, and will appear in an episode of iCarly “ iGo One Direction ” set to premiere in the US on April 7th on Nickelodeon. The band will also be the musical guests on Saturday Night Live on April 7th with guest host Sofia Vergara ahead of their visit to New Zealand.

In the U.S., What Makes You Beautiful sold more than 131,000 copies in its first week, debuting at #12 on the Billboard Digital Songs chart. Their #28 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 marked the highest debut from a British Group since the Spice Girls in 1998. UP ALL NIGHT recently debuted at #1 in both Canada and on the US Billboard 200 chart with over 176,000 copies sold in week 1 alone.
