Harry Styles joins Niall Horan at Manchester concert, dances to One Direction’s Stockholm Syndrome

Two former members of the iconic boyband One Direction surprised fans with an unexpected reunion at Niall Horan's Manchester concert, sparking excitement and fueling rumors of a possible band reunion.

On Tuesday night, fans of One Direction went wild as Harry Styles, 30, secretly attended his former bandmate Niall Horan's, also 30, Manchester Co-op Live performance. Videos and photos shared on social media captured Harry dancing in the crowd to Niall's song "Stockholm Syndrome."

Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their excitement at seeing half of One Direction together again. "Can't believe I was in the same room as 50% of One Direction—so close! Welcome back, guys," one fan tweeted. Another fan outside the arena added, "It shows how much support they give to each other, even though they're no longer in a band together. We just hope that one day we'll see all the 1D boys back together."

This reunion comes amid reports that Zayn Malik, who left One Direction in 2015, is seeking to reconcile with Harry, Niall, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne. After nearly a decade of distance, Zayn is reportedly aiming to rebuild friendships rather than focusing on a band reunion, but fans are still hopeful for a full One Direction comeback.

Niall and Harry have maintained a close relationship over the years, with Niall attending several of Harry's concerts and Harry showing up at Niall's events. In a recent interview, Niall praised Harry, saying, "He's still the same, bubbly character he always was."
