One Direction unveils plans for world tour

LONDON (AP) — One Direction has announced plans for an ambitious world tour in 2014.

Plans call for the youthful chart-toppers to play major stadiums in Latin America, Britain and Ireland during the first leg of the mega-tour that begins in April. The US dates are expected to be announced later.

The band announced the Where We Are Tour at London’s Wembley Stadium, one of five venues they will play at in the UK and Ireland once the tour starts.

Band member Harry Styles said the idea of playing at Wembley “is incredible” and that the group is “very excited.” The UK-based band had for several days been dropping hints on various official Twitter pages indicating that a major announcement was planned.
