Louis Tomlinson spotted at former bandmate Zayn Malik’s concert in Los Angeles

Fans were delighted to see Louis Tomlinson in attendance at Zayn Malik’s ‘Stairway to the Sky Tour’ in Los Angeles on January 29 (LA time).

Acknowledging his former One Direction bandmate’s presence, Zayn took a moment to address the crowd, saying, “An old friend of mine is here,” before pointing to where Louis was seated in the upper row of the venue.

The unexpected reunion marked their first public appearance together after they attended former bandmate Liam Payne’s funeral back in November of last year. Due to Payne’s unfortunate passing, Malik had to postpone the U.S. leg of his world tour and only resumed his on-stage activities in January of this year. Malik also performed one of his songs ‘Stardust’ in honor of Payne.

Since One Direction announced their hiatus back in 2016, it has been a rare moment to see the group interact so closely with one another. Hence, Tomlinson’s presence in Malik’s Los Angeles concert truly made the fans’ hearts swoon.

Tomlinson and Malik were also seen leaving the venue together after the concert, which sent fans into a frenzy. Some are still in disbelief, with one fan saying, “This is not on my [2025] Bingo card at all.”
