Louis Tomlinson announced the launch of his world tour in 2023. The announcement coincides with the release of his latest album Faith in the Future, which arrives first thing Friday.
The One Direction alum also dropped the single “Silver Tongues” ahead of the album’s release this week. The single, which includes pop-punk elements, is the third track from the album and the one Tomlinson is most proud of creating, he said in a press release.
In an interview with SiriusXM, Tomlinson described Faith in the Future as a much more dynamic record. His tour comes shortly after the completion of his Walls Tour months ago. “It’s really important to me in the live show, but also in how the tracks are produced as well,” Tomlinson said. “Me and the producers were a little braver on this record. It was marginally one-dimensional on the first record where I was just thinking about guitar sounds and guitar-driven songs.”
The tour will span American, Canadian and European dates, beginning in Connecticut before wrapping up at Forest Hills Stadium in New York City.
Faith in the Future will be Tomlinson’s second studio album. His first studio album, Walls, debuted Jan. 31, 2020, at No. 9 on the Billboard 200.

The Warner Music Group has launched a new label, called OUT OF ORDER, that will highlight artists from emerging markets including Africa, India, the Middle East, Southeastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean, the company announced Thursday (Nov. 10). The new label will partner with Parlophone in the U.K. and Atlantic in the U.S., as well as the local WMG affiliates in respective markets, according to a press release; its tagline is “a diverse collection of sounds in no particular order.”
OUT OF ORDER plans to put a spotlight on several different types of creators in each region with a focus on “dance-leaning records,” with artwork created by local designers and a weekly radio show with hour-long DJ sets inspired by tracks from each of the albums, with the mixes hosted on Audiomack, SoundCloud and YouTube.
“I’m incredibly passionate about this initiative,” said Selina Chowdhury, Warner Music’s head of emerging markets, who will run OUT OF ORDER, in a statement. “There’s so much unique and inspired international music that often doesn’t have a global platform. We hope that OUT OF ORDER will take music fans on an adventure and introduce them to sounds and artists they might not otherwise have had the chance to hear.”
The label’s first release, out Thursday, is called OOO: AFRO, which Warner says “features a mix of Afrobeats, Amapiano and House tracks from the likes of Da Capo, Makhadzi, Moelogo, Oscar Mbo, P-Priime and Rouge,” with artwork by Ghanaian designer Nyahan Tachie-Menson, who said in a statement, “There’s so much going on with the music emerging from individuals on the continent; something we can all relate to is the vibrancy of the music, and that’s what I captured here.”
“Africa is a continent rich with various sounds, which have for the longest time influenced popular culture, but is only now really being spotlighted for its contributions,” Warner Music Africa’s creative lead Garth Brown said in a statement about the release. “This album showcases some of the music from across the continent. It’s an opportunity to give the world a peek of what Africa sounds like.”
OUT OF ORDER’s next release, set for early next year, will be in partnership with Warner Music India.

UPDATE (Nov. 10): Olivia Rodrigo, Machine Gun Kelly, John Legend, Jimmie Allen, Luis Fonsi, Ledisi, Smokey Robinson and CBS Mornings co-anchors Nate Burleson and Gayle King will join Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. to announce the nominees for the 65th annual Grammy Awards on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET. Rodrigo is the reigning best new artist Grammy winner. EGOT recipient Legend is a national trustee of the Recording Academy. Ledisi is president of the Academy’s Los Angeles chapter. Robinson will be an honoree at the 2023 MusiCares Persons of the Year gala (alongside Motown founder Berry Gordy).
PREVIOUSLY: The Recording Academy will announce the nominations for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards across all 91 categories live from the Grammy Museum and Latin Grammy Week on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET.
The event will stream live on live.Grammy.com and on the Academy’s Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok channels. The full list of nominees will be published on Grammy.com (and on Billboard.com, among other outlets) immediately following the presentation. Presenters will be announced in the coming days.
The nominations will be revealed just two days before the 23rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards are held at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. Bad Bunny is the top nominee at that show with 10 nods, including album of the year for Un Verano Sin Ti. That album, which has topped the Billboard 200 for 13 nonconsecutive weeks, has an excellent chance of becoming the first Latin pop album to receive an album of the year nomination at the all-genre Grammys.
Anitta, Luis Fonsi, Laura Pausini and Thalía are set to host the Latin Grammys, which will air on Thursday, Nov. 17, on Univision.
“We are so excited to celebrate all of this year’s Grammy nominees who contributed to such a prolific year in music,” Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, said in a statement. “With the addition of five new categories and a new, diverse class of voting members, we look forward to honoring all of this incredible music and the people who made it.”
The five new categories are songwriter of the year, non-classical; best alternative music performance; best Americana performance; best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media; and best spoken word poetry album. In addition, a new special merit award will be given out for best song for social change, which “celebrates a song that addresses a timely social issue and promotes understanding, peacebuilding and empathy,” according to the Academy.
The 65th Annual Grammy Awards returns to Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sun, Feb. 5, 2023. The show will broadcast live on CBS will stream live and on-demand on Paramount+ at 8-11:30 p.m. ET / 5-8:30 p.m. PT.
