Gillette Stadium was the boy band’s final stateside stop before they take a hiatus.

“Boston, how about we sing some songs together?”
It was a classic Liam Payne call to action, but there’s something so thrilling about artists acknowledging your hometown. Especially if it’s One Direction.
It’s with great bittersweetness that we accept tonight’s show at Gillette as an anticipated turning point in One Direction’s sovereignty. It’s been five years since the boy band came together on the U.K.’s X Factor, and in that time, those favorite nobodies became unfathomable somebodies who put out four albums, released a movie, toured the world, and stole many, many hearts.
Tonight, One Direction sold out Gillette Stadium. It’s nothing they haven’t done before. Last year they did it thrice, nearly 70,000 people from all corners of the Northeast fleeing to be in the presence of those British-Irish lads. But this time, it’s different. The show marked One Direction’s final North American show as a group before heading into a European leg of On the Road Again until the end of October.
After that, no one knows if we’ll ever see One Direction The Group perform together again in the USA.
“It’s an important night for us, as it’s the last stop on this tour,” Harry Styles shouted from the stage. He told the crowd to dance their hardest. Louis Tomlinson admitted he’s “feeling emotional tonight.” Liam thanked his crew for an amazing tour. Niall said Gillette is one of his favorite stadiums in America.
2015 featured some pretty hefty obstructions in One Direction Land, primarily Zayn Malik’s exit from the group back in March.
In July, People.com reported that Louis Tomlinson was expecting a baby, which Michael Strahan then forced Louis to confirm on live TV. For what it’s worth, if this happened to Timberlake during his *NSYNC days, the world would have crumbled.
And then came the most ominous news of all: In August, The Daily Mail reported that One Direction was breaking up. “One Direction to SPLIT,” read its ever-provocative headline, sending Twitter into a frenzy, a point of hysteria that is, quite frankly, incomparable to any other thing that could warrant hysteria. Niall Horan told his 23 million Twitter followers that it was just a “well-earned break” next year. Liam Payne then disclosed in a solo, cover-story interview with Attitude magazine that it will be the time for One Direction to explore new things on their own.
So now here we are. Lots of fans at Gillette sported T-shirts that read “In memory of Zayn.” This could be perceived as an LOL gesture among 1D diehards, but there’s something to be said about immortalizing the good ol’ days. No fan wants to forget those unstoppable five boys plucked out of a mesh of aspiring youths by Simon Cowell. It was a seemingly arbitrary selection, which is what makes their incredible rise so endearing.
All good things come to an end, some parent somewhere probably told their devastated teenager. If only they really knew.
