Niall Horan brought his headlining tour, THE SHOW LIVE ON TOUR 2024, to Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee on Monday night (June 3), and delivered an impressive set that highlighted his evolution from boy band heartthrob to a bona fide rock star. The concert marked Horan’s first time headlining an arena in Nashville and follows his previous visits to Music City, when he headlined The Ryman Auditorium and Ascend Amphitheater.

Sold Out Concert At Bridgestone Arena In Nashville

The sold-out show served as a testament to the 30-year-old singer/songwriter’s solo success, drawing fans of all ages adorned in homemade merchandise and Niall Horan-inspired outfits, eagerly awaiting the former One Direction star’s arrival.

As the lights went dim, a pair of eyes appeared at the top of the stage and then a cinematic introduction was projected on a vintage theater style stage set up complete with curtains and clamshell foot lights, bringing an old school vibe that flawlessly fit Horan’s set.

“Good evening Nashville,” Horan shouted, greeting the crowd with a big smile on his face, as he exploded into a high-energy performance of his fan-favorite tune, “Nice To Meet Ya.”

”I Have Dreamt Long And Hard About This Night”

Donning a black leather vest, black tank, black pants, and a handkerchief in his pants pocket, Horan looked every bit of the rock star he has become and kept the crowd in the palm of his hand throughout the entire concert.

“Welcome to The Show Live On Tour Lovers! Holy smokes, this is insane, thank you so much for selling out the famous Bridgestone Arena for me. I really appreciate it,” Horan said graciously. ”I have dreamt long and hard about this night, and thank you so much for selling this arena out for me, it’s mind-boggling, I can’t believe I am here. Nashville is one of my favorite cities in the world, and I love coming here. I love the music in this town, I love writing in this town, and it feels like home here. I love it, so thank you so much for welcoming me back.”

He continued, “All the memories that I’ve had in this city over the years, I just love the place. There are some cities that just stand out to you and just make you feel comfortable, and Nashville and the people in it just make you feel like you’re at home.”

Surprise Guest: Noah Kahan

A highlight of the show was his intimate acoustic set. With the curtain shut behind him, Horan took to the microphone stand with just an acoustic guitar and delivered a raw and heartfelt performance of “Put A Little Love On Me,” followed by the crowd-pleaser, “This Town,” which featured a surprise guest, Noah Kahan.

“Since we’re in Nashville, there’s some good songwriters around the place,” Horan said before welcoming Kahan to the stage to join him for the performance. The excitement to see the “Stick Season” singer was palpable, as he was welcomed by deafening screams.

He concluded the acoustic set with “You Can Start A Cult.” After Horan wrapped his set, the capacity crowd offered thunderous stomps and applause demanding an encore, which Horan obliged and returned to the stage for a two song encore that included “Heartbreak Weather” and “Slow Hands.”

21-Song Set List

Horan’s 21-song set included songs from all three of his solo albums: Flicker (2017), Heartbreak Weather (2020) and The Show (2023). He also threw in a cover of One Direction’s hit, “Stockholm Syndrome,” a fan-favorite that prompted a massive sing-along during his set in Music City.

Throughout the concert, Niall Horan made it a point to connect with his fans on a personal level. He took a moment to read many of the handmade signs brought by fans, interacting with them in a way that made the massive arena feel intimate. His gratitude was evident as he thanked his fans multiple times, often becoming visibly emotional as he watched his dreams unfold before his eyes, with a capacity crowd singing along to every word.

“I just want to thank you all for the loyal support over the last 14 years, it’s just been absolutely bonkers. Whether you’ve been there since day one or you just watched The Voice and said ‘well, I like him,’ thank you I really appreciate your support, and I am so happy to be here in this arena tonight with you,” Horan exclaimed with a big smile emblazoned on his face.

From Boy Band Member To Solo Superstar

Niall Horan’s concert at Bridgestone Arena was more than just a performance; it was a celebration of his journey as an artist. From his days in One Direction to his impressive solo career, Horan has proven that he is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. His genuine connection with his fans, coupled with his undeniable talent, made for an evening that Nashville will not soon forget. With this tour, it’s clear that Niall Horan is not just a former boy band member, but a solo superstar who has truly come into his own.

Niall Horan kicked off his world tour in February of 2024 in Belfast, UK, at the SSE Arena. The North American leg of the trek launched at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, on May 29, 2024. Produced by Live Nation, the stint will continue through the end of 2024.

[TRIVIA]

The Prince of Tennis 10.5 Fanbook | Publication Date: 11/02/2001

Although he’s lived in the USA, he still prefers Japanese food and isn’t fond of Western food

People tend to be aggravated by him due to his abrasive personality, but he means no ill-intent by it

He gained his arrogant and abrasive personality from growing up in the USA

He will speak his mind regardless of how it sounds as he believes it’s a way of being kind

His first name is written in katakana rather than kanji. It’s alluded that it may be due to his mother being another nationality besides Japanese

Konomi had Ryoma wear a hat since he thought it was cool, and wanted people to associate his FILA hat with him

He is called “Shorty” by Kikumaru but does not mind it since he states height doesn’t matter in tennis

He likes grape-flavored Fanta/Ponta

He keeps everything he needs for school in his tennis bag, hence why he gets confused when some items are still in it

He is described as pessimistic, but shy, gentle, and always striving for improvement

Konomi originally did not intend for him to be the protagonist. The role was originally going to be given to Kintarou, with Ryoma being his rival. He initially thought Ryoma would be difficult to portray as a protagonist, be better as a sub character, and that making him the protagonist would dampen the mood of the series. He eventually decided on Ryoma and built the other characters around him

Konomi describes him as a “bad guy,” and that him defeating people who are even worse is a focal point of the series

The Prince of Tennis 20.5 Fanbook | Publication Date: 12/04/2003

He is described to easily get engaged in a single subject and then excel in that area

When he concentrates, he will become so absorbed in what he’s doing that he will not pay attention to his surroundings

He is described to be suited for professions that require special skills, such as a pilot or astronaut

He is very susceptible to change and has an insatiable desire to become stronger

One of his favorite subjects is chemistry since the science behind the substances changing, combining, and gaining different properties reminds him of tennis

He does not remember when he started playing tennis, and states he thinks he’s been playing it since he was born

His secondary sport would be soccer

The Prince of Tennis 40.5 Fanbook | Publication Date: 12/04/2007

He is described to be sociable and lively, but doesn’t get too involved in his personal relationships and tends to be reserved

His friends and schoolmates often visited his house when he lived in the US

He did not know what “Old Maid” was until he played it at the joint training camp with Rokkaku

In Genius 305, when he had won his match against Atobe and everyone huddled around him, someone had quietly handed him the shaver, but it’s a mystery on who it was

He considers Kintarou to be quite strong, and wouldn’t mind having an official match with him someday

He is the character Konomi states he has the least in common with, the second being Tezuka

The person he currently dislikes the most is his father

If he had a long vacation, he would go play tennis on the western side of Japan since he states they have strong opponents

He wants to win all four major world tennis championships

When asked what kind of plant or animal he is like, he replies with a cat since they’re free-spirited

When asked what his current goals are, he replies that he wants to fight more stronger opponents and win against them

He is named after Ooka Echizen, also known as Ooka Tadasuke

Konomi came up with his “Selfless State” technique since he wanted to write a story where the main character’s dormant power would awaken when faced against an unbeatable enemy. And since Ryoma was a returnee, he had him speak in English to surprise the audience and give his scenes a fantasy-like feel

Konomi corrects his statement that Ryoma didn’t win national USA junior tournaments four years in a row, he had meant that when Ryoma started tennis, he had competed and won in regular USA junior tournaments four times in a row

Konomi states he has tried drawing Ryoma more mature as the series progresses and draws Ryoma’s shoes and racket bigger to make him appear smaller

HEATH MORGAN at The Palazzo ( Halloween, 2024 )

The 2003 Ferrari uniform was predominantly Rosso Corsa red, Ferrari’s iconic racing color. The suit prominently featured the Marlboro logo across the chest and on the shoulders, reflecting their major sponsorship. Along with Marlboro, Shell‘s logo (the team’s fuel and lubricants partner) was visible on the upper chest and sleeves. The Bridgestone logo appeared on the arms, indicating their tire supplier. Other sponsors, like Vodafone, were also placed on the chest and sides. The uniform had white accents around the logos, with black or dark-colored piping along seams to enhance the sharp, race-ready look. The design was sleek, fitted, and functional, with reinforced sections for safety. 2003 Bridgestone winner’s cap had a clean and striking design, featuring Bridgestone’s logo in white, with a black and red “B” symbol on the front. The cap was entirely red, including the brim, which made it visually stand out during podium celebrations. The laurel wreaths embroidered in gold around the brim added a sense of triumph and prestige, signifying the wearer’s victory. It became a key part of the post-race ceremony, easily recognizable and associated with success on the track.

[whipplefilter]

How excited was I to find out that I could effortlessly fit four wheels and four tires in the back of my car? So excited.

I bought new wheels to replace my 17-year old ones, which were corroded from their lifetime in the Rustbelt and one of which was bent (RIP). The tires—Yokohama Avid Ascends—replaced a set of Bridgestone Turanza Serenity tires, purchased in 2016, about 63,000 miles ago.

The Turanzas served me extremely well in all conditions but ice/snow, which they were garbage at—I have a separate set of winter tires. I went with the Yokohamas this time around because they were better reviewed on TireRack in all possible ways and cheaper than the Bridgestone equivalent being manufactured today.

Anyway, I figured this was a good time to write up some notes!

The Care & Feeding of Tires: A Beginner’s Guide

After all, this all started with a blown left rear:

Even if you’re not driving your street car at race speeds, your tires are the only part that actually touches the road—that one contact patch on each of your four corners.

The service writer at your shop is going to go by the numbers; the technician will say something if it’s real bad, maybe. But you don’t want to wait until you have a blowout and end up stranded, or until you’re hydroplaning on the freeway.

1. How do you measure tire health?

Every tire comes with two measure of its age: treadwear and time.

Treadwear: The more you drive, the more the tire wears down. How quickly this happens depends mostly on your tire compound (and technically the type of driving you do, though I doubt for most people this is statistically significant).

At least in the United States, your tread is measured in 32nds of an inch. How many 32nds you start with depends on the tire. Since most people don’t own a tread depth gauge, treadwear is also conveyed in terms of mileage, and the average number of miles driven it takes to wear the tread a certain amount.

Time: If you don’t drive your car that much, it doesn’t mean your tires will last longer, though! Because the rubber is blowing out those birthday candles no matter what. You can keep the rubber cool and dry if you want, but age waits for no tire. Generally, tire rubber will last around 6 years before it should be replaced, regardless of mileage. Like measuring treadwear in mileage, six years is an estimate based on rubber degradation.

You can also gauge tire age by looking for signs of dryrot. This will look like cracks in the rubber—on the sidewall or the tread. They can look shallow and unimportant, but these cracks on the surface are an indication that there’s likely similar rot happening where you can’t see it.

Here’s an example of mild dryrot on my old tires, which are 7 years old. You can find MUCH more extreme examples on Google Images, if you’re so inclined:

🚨 IMPORTANT 🚨 The age of your tire is based on its date of manufacture, NOT the date you put it on your car! If you want to check this, this date is printed on your tire. Each tire is printed with a DOT code—the last two digits designate the year it was made. (There’s other info in that code, but that’s the most important part.)

You know how your car’s care manual has intervals that expressed in both miles and time? You’re not supposed to choose which to follow—you’re supposed to do with whichever comes first. The two ways tires age is a great example of why!

2. How do you keep tires happy?

Do your preventative maintenance.

Cars are extremely expensive to own, and that sucks—especially when you live in the United States, where in a lot of places you have to own a car if you want to make a living. You have to pay to get paid. :\

But cars are also something where preventative maintenance is a lot cheaper than a repair—or worse, a wreck. Tires are designed to endure a lot, and perform through all kinds of conditions. But you can thank them for their hard work by being attentive to their needs!

Check your tire pressure regularly (let’s say seasonally)! Particularly if the ambient temperatures where you live are changing. Tires are wily, and can be absurdly low on air before they start looking flat. Seriously—they can be at 15psi when they’re supposed to be at 30psi and still look pretty round. Keeping your tires inflated to spec will prolong your tread life (and save your gas mileage).

Rotate your tires on schedule! Your car’s schedule is in the owner’s manual. This help your tires wear evenly, which will prolong their life AND the lifespan of your drivetrain, which is substantially more expensive  to repair than a tire rotation is. (A rotation is free if you do it yourself; some tire suppliers like Costco give you free tire rotations for the life of the tire, too.) Keeping your tires wearing evenly is particularly important if you have an AWD car, which is increasingly common in this frenzied age of crossovers and SUVs.

Keep your suspension in alignment! If your car’s not driving straight on the road, it’s not wearing your tires evenly, either. Your alignment can be thrown off if you hit a pothole or a curb. Sometimes it just wanders off, due to wear on suspension components. Letting your suspension do what it will is only going to increase the wear on other components and make the repair bill bigger int the long run.

Aside from not knowing what a car needs, I think there are two main reasons people end up in bad spots with their tires: 1) It’s not a priority (fair, but if you pay attention to one thing outside of your oil changes, let it be the tires! this is part of the job of owning a car), and 2) They don’t have the money. Nothing this Pixar Cars blog can say can solve late capitalism and the wage gap, but if you can conceptualize tire care and feeding as a regular, predictable, budgetable expense, and not an emergency one, the financial hit of buying new tires can be given some cushion.

Stay safe and stay rolling!
