Niall Horan Walked to His Toronto Concert Due to Heavy Traffic
Over the weekend, Niall Horan was scheduled for two back-to-back concerts at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada. However, the former One Direction star encountered a significant traffic jam on June 28, prompting him to take an unconventional approach to ensure he wouldn’t be late for his show—by walking to the venue.
In an entertaining reveal on Instagram (featured in slide seven), Horan shared his experience with his followers. He mentioned, “Traffic too crazy in Toronto, so I’m walking to the venue.” The accompanying video highlighted Horan and his entourage briskly walking, with a seemingly endless line of stalled cars beside them. The scene was set to the tune of the Proclaimers’ ‘I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)’, adding a humorous twist to their unexpected journey.
Horan also shared a moment of reflection in the video, stating, “In all my years of playing shows, I don’t think I’ve ever walked into a venue.” His arrival at the Scotiabank Arena was met with relief and a bit of triumph, as he excitedly proclaimed, “We’ve made it!” This unusual pre-show adventure not only ensured Horan made it on time but also provided a memorable story for his fans.
