What You Need to Know About the One Direction Concert at Gillette Stadium

One year later, the boys are back in town.

Saturday night, One Direction returns for their second visit to Foxborough for their fourth concert at the stadium. Last year, the group performed a three-night stand, entertaining sold out crowds every night.

Things are different for the English-Irish band, which will only perform once this time around and arrive without beloved member Zayn Malik, who left in March to “be a normal 22-year-old.”

Coming along will be special guests Icona Pop. The Sweedish electropop duo is best known for their double platinum hit I Love It, which went to No. 7 on the Billboard hot 100.
