Niall Horan ended the Dublin stop of his Dinner Party tour on Friday with a surprise performance by Irish band Kingfishr.
The two‑hour show at the 3Arena saw Horan hand the stage to Kingfishr, who performed their own song “The Sun Will Never Settle” before Horan joined them to sing their viral hit “Killeagh”.
During the concert Horan delivered a mix of tracks from his four solo albums, ranging from early single “This Town” to stadium‑style numbers such as “Pretty”. He also performed “End of an Era”, a tribute to One Direction and a nod to the late Liam Payne, who died in 2024.
Mid‑set the band moved to a B‑stage set up with a wooden table, Guinness and wine, accompanied by fiddle, banjo and accordion for a trad‑session feel, featuring “Must Be Love” and “On My Own”.
Horan interacted with fans from abroad, highlighted fan‑made gifts, and thanked the audience for travelling despite traffic disruptions caused by visiting politicians, adding, “Thank you for the last 16 years… I hope you got your money’s worth.”
