UK boyband One Direction are set to headline Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 3, 2012, as part of their North American tour.One Direction's May/June 2012 tour of North America sold out within minutes of going on sale and the group wanted to give their fans a further opportunity to see them play live before ending what will have been a monumental year.
"We are so happy to be playing Madison Square Garden. To be headlining our OWN show in a venue that has played host to countless legendary acts that we have grown up listening to and adore is obviously a dream come true for us all. We can't wait to play for our fans on December 3rd." - Niall Horan.
On April 7th, One Direction will appear in an episode of iCarly "iGo One Direction" performing their hit single "What Makes You Beautiful" on Nickelodeon. That night the band will also be the musical guests on Saturday Night Live with guest host Sofia Vergara.
