By Marcelo Fernández Bitar [translated from Spanish]

In just over 24 hours, Louis Tomlinson passed through Buenos Aires and caused a commotion, with hundreds of fans crowding at the door of his hotel singing and shouting his name, and also occupying almost the entire block where there is a FM radio station where he went to give an interview.

The fanaticism generated with his solo career by the former singer of One Direction in Argentina is so great that in fact he will give a recital in the same stadium where he was in 2014 with the mega-boy band. It will be on May 18 in Vélez Sarsfield.

Louis Tomlinson already has two solo albums and is touring the world presenting the most recent, Faith in the Future. It came out in November 2022 and surprised with his most rocky sound, close to the Brit-pop of his beloved Oasis, and less pop. It was number one in England and three singles came out, Bigger Than Me, Out of My System and Silver Tongues.

Hurricane Louis

The visit was really fleeting with the purpose of promoting his show next month, the old-fashioned way, when the artists toured the countries to advertise albums or tours, something they currently do on Zoom or with posts on their official accounts.

Louis arrived on Friday night and spent Saturday fulfilling an intense schedule of activities, to leave early the next day.

First he went to the Vélez football field for a television interview which will be televised later by TN, and then he went to the radio station Los 40 Principales, where his fans filled the entire Gorriti street, between Ravignani and Arévalo, to witness an interview where eight listeners joined to ask him a question each.

He finally arrived at 4 p.m. at the Four Seasons hotel, where hundreds of other fans were screaming for him. There he gave a series of reports and chatted with Clarín in a room equipped as a small television set, with lights and a set with his name and the cover of the disc.

"Never, not for a second, did I think I would be going through some of the same experiences," he said, "that I was lucky enough to live in the band. I thought that was something unique. So being able to come here and feel the level of love and the incredible reaction on today's radio station, means a lot to me. When I imagined what my solo career would be like, I really didn't know what to expect.

Re-filling stadiums

At 32-years-old, Louis Tomlinson has the experience of having been part of one of the greatest pop phenomena of the last 20 years, with sales records and sold-out shows in stadiums around the world. And now he is repeating the fury alone, just as it happened just a little earlier with his ex-bandmate Harry Styles.

In Louis’ case, he first sold out the closed Movistar Arena stadium in 2022 and now he goes through a huge soccer field like Vélez.

Q: Did you think that being a soloist you had to start from below and sing in smaller places?

Louis: Yes, exactly. But it turns out that I can still play in big places, so it's great.

Q: Can we really talk about a mania of a "louistomlinson-mania"? Does it happen everywhere or is it special in Latin America?

Louis: I think that in terms of the level of similar intensity, and seeing what happened a moment ago on the radio station, that certainly doesn't happen to me everywhere. Let me put it this way: it's incredible to be so far from home and feel that level of love. I'm very excited to think about what the show will be like here.

Q: It's incredible that almost exactly ten years have passed since the last time you filled Vélez. How do you feel when you return to the same stadium?

Louis: I feel very lucky to be able to play in those places again on my own. I also feel very, very proud of myself and my fans. I feel like we have created something that is quite special and we did it together. With them as listeners, but also as facilitators. That really helped my confidence and made me feel good on stage. It's a lovely relationship and I'm very proud of it.

Q: This tour started almost a year ago, how did it evolve with respect to the first shows?

Louis: I definitely feel in a good place right now with the show. Anyway, in advance I was excited about this tour because this album was designed for the live show. So I was excited to see how the songs would work. And the energy is great. I am very excited to show Faith in the Future to Latin America.

Q: How did the idea of making a live cover of Arctic Monkeys come about?

Louis: Arctic Monkeys grew up about 20 minutes from where I live. It was something very close, very fresh in the mind and obviously huge. I was growing up and I'm also a big fan. I usually do the song 505 because it's very pretty.

Often, with the versions, I probably think more about what I would like to sing than about what I imagine that everyone else would like to hear, which may be misjudged, but I'm enjoying it.

Q: When you were a teenager you sang Oasis songs and now you have a rock band that sounds very Brit-pop, almost closing a circle.

Louis: Thank you. I am very, very fortunate to have the band I have, but they also perform sonically and visually, everything that is really important to me. They sound absolutely incredible. I don't think I would be able to do this without my band.

Q: Live you also perform songs from One Direction. Did you feel that kind of shadow at the beginning of your solo career and now you are more comfortable looking back?

Louis: I think a bit about both things. I think that at the beginning of my career I would have been a little more worried about putting too many One Direction songs in the repertoire. What I wanted most was to spread my wings and show who I was. But I think that as time went by, the nostalgic moments are really charming. So it's like a beautiful mixture of nostalgia and it's very nice to do it.

Ping-pong

Q: This is the third time you have visited our country. If you had to describe your Argentine fans in three words, which one would you choose?

Louis: Passionate. Loyal. Affectionate. That’s okay, isn't it?

Q: The soccer player Kun Agüero said that there is a lot of talk to you through Instagram or Twitter. Have you ever met him in person?

Louis: Actually, we have never seen each other in person. Over the years we've talked a little here and there, but I never found time. I have a kind of crazy hope that he can come to the show.

Q: If you had to choose one of your songs, either from Walls or Faith in the Future, that reflects how you feel right now in your life, what would it be?

Louis: I would say that the name of the album (Faith in the future) represents where I am right now, but I think that in the future I would like to always be optimistic.

Q: And if all the One Direction discography was deleted and a song had to be saved. Which one would you save?

Louis: It's interesting... I would probably say Story Of My Life. That seemed like a real milestone. I would say it's a little more serious. And I also think it's a bit of a crazy song.

Q: You are a big soccer fan, do you have any preference for an Argentine club?

Louis: I'm very afraid to say something wrong... I'd better say that I love you all. (laughs)

“Say again,” is my response to his question or whatever it is he said. Before he can speak, I say “I want you to know that it’s very distracting to hear what your saying with your shirt unbuttoned, and spread wide open, as well as your sport jacket and revealing your chest and belly-button. Who wears a freakin sport jacket to school when it’s 80° and then leaves it open? You think your cool, but your not. You’re Hot!” (pause as he smiles) “I didn’t mean to say it that way, even though it’s true. You’re not only hot, but freakin hot, handsome, and shit I just outed myself, haven’t I? Whoever you are, can you keep it under your hat, I mean don’t tell anyone?” He nods, “Your secret is safe with me!” I search his eyes and I believe him.

I feel washed over with relief as i remember he had said something before that started this conversation. “Thank you..…” “Shawn” “Thank you Shawn. So what was the question again?” “Oh, right. I was asking if you played guitar?” “Yeah, I do. How’d you know?” “Your fingers are that of a guitar player, long and sleek and battered at the tips. You rarely use a pick, and probably learned piano first.” “Yes to all that, you’re quite observant.” “That’s true, but I researched you the other day when i first saw you and thought that you were…kinda really hot and cute and my type and was hoping I could find some common ground so I could talk to you. I get nervous when I have a crush on somebody and I get tongue tied.” Our eyes looked into each other and they began a smile that extended to our mouths and our entire bodies. “You play, too?” I asked. “All the time. Oh, you mean guitar, yeah piano too but mostly I like to sing.” “That��s cool. Let’s get together, I’d like to hear your singing voice.” So we made plans to meet at his place at 7:30 that night. I got there on time and the house was huge and busy with lots of activity. Some guy said he was security and what was my business being there. i said Shawn invited me, but i must of got the address wrong. The security guy said that the address is right and Shawn was expecting me. Oh! Okay. Why so much security and stuff, is there some reason for it? “Shawn Mendez is good reason enough, he said. “Yeah, I heard that name before. Why does my Shawn know Shawn Mendez?” “Your joking?” I looked puzzled.

“Your Shawn is Shawn Mendez!” “You’re pulling my foot.” Now he looked puzzled. “Well, what do you know, i came to hear his singing voice and maybe getter a closer look at his body and, Shawn Mendez! I had no shot, he was playing me. He said he liked to play. I was contemplating leaving when Shawn ran up to me and gave me a big hug. He whispered on my ear that he hope that he hadn’t lost my liking him because he was famous and stuff. “You did, for a minute but this hug and your stiff cock against my torso has won me back. For now.” Shawn and I have been best friends and lovers since that day. He knows he won me over as Shawn. Just Shawn. Not Shawn Mendez Shawn, because he really doesn’t exist. “Everybody wants to be Shawn Mendez,” he said. “Even me.” “You stole that line from Movistar Cary Grant, Shawn. You need to learn to write your own stuff.” Little did I know he wrote all his songs, words and music.

Shawn to me is friend and lover and somebody who treats him like a regular guy. He is a great regular guy who likes to sing in the shower.

Shawn likes to think he sounds better shirtless. I like him better either way.

I've seen bits and pieces of Nadal's movistar interview and it's very fascinating. He's always more open and expressive in Spanish but there's just something that's different. I knew he was a realist and has a very grounded/realistic outlook on his life, I just can't help feeling a bit sad on this one. Though he's literally stating nothing but facts, it hits too close to resigned acceptance this time and feels a bit like a retirement interview.

I've always seen him as the accept-the-problem-let's-move-on kinda guy, you can see this a lot in his tactic discussion during laver cup matches and it's what makes him a great player I suppose. He's a problem solver, he doesn't really worry about things outside his control, "He's hitting a good serve, that's fine nothing you can do about it, you have to wait it out," "the wind is not perfect today but that's tennis, nothing you can do you have to adapt" etc etc. He was never really one to dwell on the past, always with the it happened let's move on kinda attitude, which I think is crucial for top level atheletes to not get bogged down by your wins or losses.

But it seems like he talks a lot about regret in this one. He said there are times he prioritised his competitive urges more than his health and life, like in Roland Garros this year where he shouldn't have stayed that long. He talks about pain, about the tiredness of living with chronic pain, about not being able to walk down the stairs, about making life choices of what really matters and what doesn't.

He's very honest and raw, he said he didn't congratulate Djokovic yet on his 24th slam because it honestly hasn't crossed his mind and because he might also had to adjust to someone new having the most GS.

What's perhaps more painful is what seems like this feeling of resigned acceptance that the sport is moving on without him. He's being very realistic, fair and honest about it. He said he's very proud of Alcaraz and congratulated him for his achievements but then admitted he's not that in the field anymore. Tennis will always be a part of him, but he doesn't really have friends left in the sport, except for Federer, who he calls from time to time. It's fascinating that he referred to tennis in general instead of just the current next generation ATP players who he never really competed against (and hence wouldn't have known anyway) as Federer is clearly also no longer in the sport.

I have no idea what his life is like these days but it gives the impression that he's seemingly trying to make peace with no longer having any relations with professional tennis (apart from his secluded academy of course) and Roger's the only one he still occassionaly keeps in touch with. He talks about the future a lot, about the many things he could decide to become tomorrow if he wants to, about being president of Real Madrid, about his academy that he cares deeply for, about maybe one day getting into coaching.

If I'm to make something at all out of this, Rafa seems.. ready. He says an illusion is for him to come back and win another Australian Open or Roland Garros (still with that little twinkle of hope in his eyes 🥺), but what's not an illusion is him trying his very best one last time to go back on court, to enjoy the ride, play the sport that defined his life, compete in the stadiums he loves the most, to properly say his goodbye.

5 Takeaways from La Vuelta Feminina

Competition is good.

There were no boring stages. Every stage of La Vuelta Feminina was competitive this year, and most were quite close. Even the sprint stages ended up having major GC action with the cross-winds. If you look at the results, it seems to favor the super teams like SD Worx-Protime and Visma Lease-a-Bike, and they certainly did have good results. But every stage was hotly contested, there were no dominant solo breakaways, and teams like FDJ-Suez or EF Education-Cannondale played their cards well to upset the favorites for some stage races. Frankly, the Vuelta Feminina was a lot more fun to watch than the men's Giro d'Italia is looking to be. (There, we said it!)

2. La Vuelta Feminina's spot on the calendar is fantastic.

We think the organizers of the Vuelta Feminina have absolutely nailed the spot on the calendar. That lull at the end of the spring classics was just begging for a stage race, and Spain's beautiful countryside and cities look best in spring. That's always been the down side of La Vuelta versus Le Tour in the men's calendar, the scenery is so much greener and prettier during the Tour in July than the Vuelta in August. A spring Vuelta solves that problem and avoids overlap with the Tour de France Femme or the Giro Donne, bringing top talent to the race.

3. Weird dynamics at SD Worx-Protime continue.

Honestly, we don't know what is going on in this team. Demi Vollering's performance was great, she deserved both stage wins and the general classification. But her best mountain domestique was arguably Grace Brown of FDJ-Suez and not any of her own teammates. There were times when Marlen Reusser or Mischa Bredewold seemed to attack Vollering, or when Vollering was leading out the group with her own teammates behind. It didn't escape our notice that Vollering wasn't on the podium when SD Worx accepted the best team award. No one outside the team can tell, but Abby Mickey of the Escape Collective probably said it best when she said "the SD Worx-Protime team bus can’t be a fun place to hang out at the moment."

4. Crashes continue to be a real danger.

It's been a horrible year for crashes in both the men's and women's peloton, and the Vuelta Feminina saw its share of them, even in the winning team on the first TTT stage! It's a shame we didn't get to see a rematch of Gaia Realini versus Demi Vollering due to Realini's crash and withdrawal, although Evita Muzic took us somewhat by surprise and rose to the challenge instead. Likewise, the withdrawal of very strong riders like Ellen van Dijk (Lidl-Trek), Anna Henderson (Visma Lease-a-Bike), Emma Norsgaard (Movistar), Marta Cavalli (FDJ-Suez), Clara Emond (EF Education-Cannondale), and several others due to injuries from crashes was a real shame.

5. Several riders and teams are stepping up.

It wouldn't be fair to say that Evita Muzic has been flying below anyone's radar, but until last week, we didn't know how good her form has become. If she hadn't been caught in the second group during the crosswind echelons of Stage 4, she would have had a real shot at the podium, but she can be happy with her stellar victory on Stage 6. Similarly, Riejanne Markus was remarkably consistent in the mountains and her second-place finish is a real mark to watch her in future GC competitions. Both FDJ-Suez and EF Education-Cannondale were very strategic, using their riders effectively, and nabbed some great stage wins as a result. Ricarda Bauernfeind's (Canyon-SRAM) sixth-place finish was impressive, if only because she lost two minutes in the Stage 4 crosswind split, and was presumably riding for teammate Kasia Niewiadoma until Niewiadoma had to withdraw due to illness.

And we have to tip our hats to Karlijn Swinkels of UAE Team ADQ, who fought mightily to keep the mountains classification jersey after winning it in Stage 2, which enlivened several of the breakaways throughout this year's Vuelta Feminina. We would prefer to see the polka-dot jersey points to be calculated so as to not favor the GC winner, and the last-minute rule change before Stage 8 probably doomed Swinkels' campaign to win the Queen of the Mountains, but Swinkels fought hard regardless, and for that we salute her.

Everyone associates Germany 2005 as the start of Dani and Jorge's rivalry. However, this isn't the case for Dani nor Jorge. For Jorge it's Montmeló 2005.

For Dani, it comes from even early in their careers. Both of them had know about each other for a long time and they had a particular condition (being small) and they had to find their spot.

They had different sponsors (Movistar and Fortuna), their managers had bad blood in between them, and both teams wanted to end on top of the other. At the end, everything was on Dani's and Jorge's shoulder. On top of that, Dani didn't feel like he had a secure spot and he had to keep fighting for it.

In 125cc there was already rivalry, even if they didn't have big track moments or fighting for championship. They had to be in top of the other, constantly cheeking where he was/what their results where.

It's in 250cc where they had their big on track fights and action, and on top of that, it wasconstantly. Dani was the dominator and Jorge was there to change that. On top of that, they both were Spaniards.

Jorge reminds that sometimes, people and media talked more about 250cc with their fights than MotoGP (I can confirm it).

Ten years after the One Direction shows, Louis Tomlinson returned to Vélez to make the stadium vibrate!

The 32-year-old British singer showed off on a cold night, to which he knew how to change the temperature with his music and his fans: "This is absolutely crazy. Sing with me!" he said in one of his many interactions with the public.

After a brief promotional visit, British singer Louis Tomlinson (32 years old) returned to Argentina with his world tour Faith In The Future to offer an electric and unforgettable show this Saturday at the José Amalfitani. The Vélez stadium was the epicenter of a night full of emotions, where euphoria and nostalgia mixed in the air when the former member of One Direction took the same stage that he shared with the British-Irish band in his two shows of 10 years ago. Unlike the tour that brought him to the country in 2022 to present his debut album Walls at the Movistar Arena, this time Louis was accompanied by another former member of the band, Liam Payne, who at 20:40 caused a great surprise by appearing on the northern preferential stage of the court to enjoy the concert from a private box. As it could not be otherwise, when they saw him, the fans sang his name in unison: "Liam, Liam! Liam, Liam!", a gesture that did not go unnoticed for the English singer who decided to leave the box for a few seconds to say hello, smiling and lively.

After 21:15, the lights that illuminated the stadium suddenly went out to start the show, which took place on an almost winter night that was felt to the bones due to the low temperatures that reached a minimum of 8°C. But nothing and no one could tarnish the party that was about to begin. It was then that the stadium became a tide of cell phones ready to record the triumphant arrival of Louis Tomlinson, who when he met again with his audience after two years, began to sing the opening song, The Greatest, which is part of his second album that gives its name to the world tour.

In this way, the performer led an almost two-hour show whose setlist was made up of 21 songs, 16 of which belong to his first two albums: Walls and Faith In The Future. He also performed Night Changes and Where Do Broken Hearts Go?, two iconic songs from One Direction's album Four (2014) that reverted from pop to rock to accompany the live sound of his solo project crossed by musical influences from Britpop and Brit Rock.

Over the years, on more than one occasion, the British singer was frank about the close bond that unites him to his fans around the world, who for the shows usually organize fan actions - massive creative actions organized on social networks to deploy at different moments of a concert - and when playing his first solo show in an Argentine stadium, it was no different.

The first one that was seen on the Vélez court occurred during the second song, Kill My Mind. "This is absolute madness. Sing with me!" exclaimed Tomlinson, visibly surprised, realizing that the stadium had become a great tide of white lights that moved up and down while he sang the bridge of the song "Kill my, kill my, kill my." Other fan actions that stood out throughout the night were given during the performance of Saturdays, which consisted of printing white posters with the black legend that read "This Saturday takes the pain away", a phrase that alludes to the lyrics.

For its part, for Out Of My System, the public organized itself to have white and red handkerchiefs on hand, characteristic colours of the Faith In The Future album and to be able to shake them at the beginning of the song and also in the choruses, which generated a real rock climate. "Buenos Aires, I need to talk because this is total madness! I want to start the show by thanking each of the people who are here tonight. They blew my mind!" said the singer from Doncaster, United Kingdom, once the concert began.

In the middle of his speech, Tomlinson was honest about how shocked he felt at the warm welcome he received at the José Amalfitani stadium: "Perhaps you have a different opinion, but I never, not even in a million years, expected to be alone on a stage of this size, and I know that you are proud of me, I can feel it, but I am proud of you for what we create together." "This is incredible but… it's too cold!" was one of the many comments that Louis made, with a funny tone throughout the cold night.

When singing the sixth song, We Made It, he made sure to go through the stage from end to end and also used the catwalk to be in contact with the largest number of people present in the audience. Then, he asked his loyal fans that by singing it "they will think about how far we went together" referring to the lows he faced after the end of One Direction in 2015 after five years of global success and the uncertainties he circumvented to encourage himself to launch himself as a solo singer in 2020. And by way of support, the audience sang in unison: "Ole ole ole ole, Louis, Louis!"

As if time had not passed and it was still 2014, fans chanted every word of the hits Night Changes and Where Do Broken Hearts Go?, which marked the career of One Direction, leaving precedents that, although no longer active, the band left a mark with their discography in more than one generation.

As the show approached the end, Tomlinson said: "Tonight I enjoyed every second, except for the cold" expressing his feelings about the show he gave in Argentina after 2 years.

"Each of you has been incredible. It feels good to play in a stadium of this size, feels good on stage and to have all of you here again, thank you very much," Louis thanked for the last time before warning that there was only one song left in the repertoire: Silver Tongues, and to recognize that he was not ready for the show to end: "I don't want this to end but we have to do it." As usually happens and it has already become a tradition during his concerts, Louis came down from the stage to approach the fans who were on the fences of the front field, and thus interact with them and greet them closely.

thought for the void again (might delete this)

Movistar Eddie x moviestar reader BUT here’s the kicker Eddie is playing the main characters love interest and reader is playing the best friend of the main character (that probably wasn’t that interesting, but hear me out)

Hopefully this makes sense-but it’s a cheesy series, where Eddie is the bad boy, and the main character is the good girl in the show. Reader is the friend that is comical relief  and the one that ends up, pushing them together in the show. 

behind the scenes it’s the total switch dynamic, and he has a huge crush on reader he only really sees them a couple of times since you know actors aren’t gonna be onset the entire time when others are shooting (I think??) and then, as the series is put out people will talk about how cute the main characters are together and you get some commentary from others about it.

 This is a really long post sorry- when they finally do the interviews -of course main character and Eddie do interviews together-but then reader is there on some fun little questionnaire interview with all three of them now you see that Eddie really like reader idk that’s it

(Oh and main character girl doesn’t like Eddie or anything so no drama there)

Sorry about the grammar or just not understanding what I’m saying lmao I just want to vomit into the void with cringe

Tour de France: Unchained, season 2.

After watching all the episodes, I have to admit that Tour de France: Unchained, season 2, has exceeded my expectations. I was expecting another sensationalist series with an excess of harsh moments, but instead, this second season seemed much better to me. The reason for this improvement is that more teams participated. The stories are better chosen and have been more faithful to reality. Almost all the stages have had interesting moments.

Spoilers. I enjoyed Philipsen and van der Poel as an unintentionally comedic duo (Philipsen folding clothes). I liked the internal struggle within Ineos and also O'Connor's fragility. The most emotional moments came from Bahrain and their remembrance of Gino Mäder. Almost all the cyclists and directors seemed more comfortable in front of the cameras this time. On the other hand, Pogacar showed a shyer version of himself. It was nice to see him being turned into a puppet in the hands of his masseur. I hope that in a future season, we see Pogacar more relaxed in front of the cameras (we all know he is a showman). Vingegaard seems at ease, very comfortable, just like in his Tour. Unfortunately, there were few images of Pogacar and Vingegaard exchanging kind words and greetings.

It would also have been nice to have cameras with Lidl-Trek, Israel, and Movistar. Directors I find disagreeable, like Madiot or Lefevere, play the villains or outdated characters well. Fortunately, there was little of Vaughters this time (his presence and that of his team were overly inflated in season 1).

Finally, one element the series captures well is the nomadic nature of cycling, which is one of the things I like most about this sport. Hotels, buses, suitcases, small villages, lonely ski resorts—all these places that create the route of the Tour de France.

Mmm I don't think so. He can play arenas like Movistar Arena but he's not ready for a stadium otherwise he would have already sold out.

he will sold out velez. i know it. there are still many months left until may and you have to understand that we're in the middle of the biggest economic crisis since 2001, just yesterday the new economy minister devalued our currency by 100%.

i think the ticket prices were a surprise because at the time they came out it felt very expensive but we're used to all prices being liquidated by inflation, so in a few months the perception will be different. this is a fact. argentina, you will never understand it !!! why do you think we're the country with the most psychologists per capita? our economy has always been mentally exhausting.

Louis Tomlinson's 35-hour marathons in Chile: the singer who revived pop fanaticism

Fans crowded at the airport, the hotel, the radio and the stadium; the four stops that the British artist had on his fleeting return to the country last April. On May 24, he returns to perform his fourth solo show after filling the Movistar Arena three times in 2022, and expectations are high. What does the artist have who came to think that he would be nothing without One Direction and today he moves masses? Those who witnessed his last visit decipher it.

By Dove Couple, 16 May 2024

If it weren't for the teenagers of the 60s, -in part- The Beatles would not be the legend they are today. That so-called "uncontrolled fanaticism" resulted in a single word: Beatlemania. The girls were called hysterical, however they were the first people to see the potential of John, Paul, George and Ringo.

FIRST STOP: SANTIAGO AIRPORT

On the night of April 3, the performer stepped on Chile for the third time, the first approach with his fans was at Santiago Airport, who waited anxiously for him after his flash visit was surprisingly confirmed to promote his May 24 show at the La Florida Bicentennial Stadium.

At 32 years old, the Briton already had experience in our territory, he had tried success in 2014, when he came as a member of One Direction with some very young Zayn, Liam, Harry and Niall. The group filled the National Stadium twice.

"Since their last three shows at Movistar Arena in 2022, the girls have been asking when the new tour begins, and the expectation is to see Louis' growth on stage," Rodrigo Ostolaza, Representative in Chile of the BMG label, and in charge of marketing and promotion, told La Cuarta.

Tomlinson greeted kindly those who were waiting for him, but visibly tired, he went straight to the Mandarin Hotel - where there was another group of young people shouting his name - that was his "home" for the about 35 hours he stayed in the country.

SECOND STOP: RADIO LOS40

The next day, he had scheduled a visit to Los40 radio, where he spoke live with the host Martina Orrego and answered the questions asked by the followers who won a contest to meet him. While others crowded on the outskirts of the Iberoamericana building.

"It was something that didn't happen a long time ago, but in a way I expected it, he is an artist who has an important fan, his audience has accompanied him in the development of his career, so I found it very exciting," Orrego confided to us.

The co-director of Los40 and creator of the program Mujeres Que Suenan, said that one of the most entertaining things "was to have the fans on the radio and that they could share more closely with him. It's something that happens so rarely and they were wonderful, they behaved super well."

THIRD STOP: HOTEL MANDARÍN

Back at the hotel, Louis had a press round with various media, including La Cuarta.

"What he provokes is something super unique and special, he is an artist very close to his fans and concerned about his environment, that the person who interviews him or talks to him is comfortable or comfortable," Rafaella Fornazzari, Media Manager of DG Media, in charge of the concert, told us.

The return of the star had the production company until the wee hours of the morning enlisting details. "Louis' visit was a nice challenge, it's been a long time since an international artist in this category came to promote a tour, we had to work together with the entire region where he will be performing with his 'Faith in the Future World Tour'," Rafaella added.

FOURTH STOP: BICENTENARY STADIUM

Indeed, his fleeting passage through South America included Brazil, Chile and Argentina; and in all these countries he visited the venues where he would appear. In which he took advantage of playing football for a while, recalling his past as a Doncaster Rovers footballer. And yes, he took the luxury of scoring a goal.

There he also had a meet and greet with followers, but the fans who were waiting outside the venue did not run with the same luck, they only saw him for a couple of seconds through the van that took him out of the place. Even so, they were happy.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS

The expectations of the May 24 show are very high. "It comes with a new album and that immediately translates into a different show than those of 2022. In addition, it has the challenge of a larger capacity enclosure," Fornazzari revealed. "He is a very committed artist and involved with his career, he likes to deliver the best," he added.

For his part, Rodrigo Ostolaza hopes: "To see the Bicentennial Stadium full, he brought as a drag what was the One Direction phenomenon and those concerts they did at the National Stadium. It always moved a lot of people, and that lasted over time."

For Ostolaza, what happened in April reminded him of the visit to Chile of the RBD Mexicans, at the peak of his career: "We took them to Mekano and it was also crazy, a little what happened to Louis." Martina Orrego says that the effervescence that was lived can be assimilated to contemporary phenomena such as K-pop.

And the performer, who at some point thought he could not continue without One Direction, today has two successful albums - "Walls" and "Faith in the Future" - countless triumphs and a loyal community that he loves, protects and defends.

Unlike other singers, he does not charge for meet and greet, the events are always competitive, his lyrics go deep but he does not release so many commercial songs - as in his boyband time - that they can easily enter the radios, that's why the challenge of moving the masses is greater; on the other hand, fashion or social networks are not his strength, his thing is the live shows and the charts, where he goes up with his pop rock sound.

So, what is his secret? Beyond talent and charisma, he is a recognized worker, he finished a tour and immediately started another; and above all, he is close, simple and connected with people. Records sharing distly with your followers abound on the Internet.

"The successful boybands after a break have had their members as soloists. The 1Ds were the new generation of the good and beautiful that pop delivered, now Louis is the soloist who remains in contact with his fans," Fornazzari concluded.

Louis Tomlinson will perform at the La Florida Bicentennial Stadium on May 24. The latest tickets are still available through Ticketmaster.cl

To add to venue conversation, the other thing is that we don't have a lot of venues in LATAM.

Talking specifically about Colombia we have a lot of small venues an theaters, then we have Movistar Arena (11k capacity, he played here las time), then we have Coliseo MedPlus (24k capacity, he's playing here this tour) and then we have stadiums. In a country of 40million people we have two concert venues and then stadiums.

They're selling this years venue at a higher capacity than last tour but not full capacity (at least for know) because there wasn't any more options. There's not a venue that's just a little bit bigger than the last one, there's one with capacity for 13k more people and that's it. So if course they chose that, they can increase the capacity as they see fit and if the demand is high enough they can sell the whole arena if not they still increase the capacity compared to last tour 🤷🏻‍♀️

And I know that's the situation with almost every LATAM country

That makes so much sense. Thank you for giving us a bit of insight. 🩵

In reference to this, this and this.

Sam Heughan: "A romantic comedy set in Madrid would be very passionate"

We went up to one of the most representative domes of the Madrid 'skyline' with the Scottish actor to talk about superpowers, time travel, Madrid and the characters in his life, such as Jamie Fraser from “Outlander” or the journalist from “ Love Again”, the romantic comedy that opens in theaters on May 12.

"A coffee and in five minutes we are ready. He's in a very good mood, by the way,” says Wendy, a cheerful and charming middle-aged Scottish woman who is featured as the hair and makeup manager in today's session, although we soon discover that she is much more than that. She belongs to the actor's circle of trust, so she goes down in advance to see that everything is in order. The Esquire team is already prepared in the spectacular 300 m 2 suite that the Four Seasons in Madrid has given us for the occasion. There are nerves, because it's not every day that you have a star like Sam Heughan on your hands(Galloway, Scotland, 1980) and everything has to go perfectly. While he goes down, the team from Sony Pictures and Movistar Plus+, the producer and distributor in Spain of Outlander , respectively (the series that has catapulted him to fame), review the outfits so that, once we start, everything goes smoothly.

Fendi trench coat, and Pedro del Hierro shirt and pants.

Finally Sam arrives at the suite. He is serious, but so charming that the nerves dissipate. Everything happens with astonishing agility under the watchful eye of Wendy, who reviews each shot with efficiency and alternates her suggestions (all of the most sound, really) with her enthusiasm for the work we're doing. There is nothing that this herculean Scotsman of almost two meters in height does not defend with solvency. He doesn't care about a modern Prada trench coat with green squares or an impeccable summer suit from Emporio Armani. Once the photo session was over we went to the suitepresidential, overlooking Calle Alcalá, where the interview will take place. “On my next trip I want to stay here!” She says, joking for the first time, as she crosses the threshold. We settle into some seats, facing each other, and I have to confess that when Sam Heughan gives you all his attention, he's intimidating. I perceive an obvious barrier of shyness, so I try to break through it and reach him through his characters.

Tell me, Sam, what is the first memory you have of being on stage?

I went to a very creative school, where the arts, music, theater were very encouraged... My first role was Bill Sikes, the drunken villain in Oliver Twist , in a school play. He hadn't acted before and he wasn't very good, but I vividly remember having a lot of fun on stage. Later, my first professional role was Romeo, in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet , already at acting school.

You became known to the general public with the Batman from the musical Batman Live . What was your favorite superhero as a child?

Batman , without a doubt, a very dark character who lost his parents very young. He dresses up as a bat, but in reality he is not a real superhero. He's just an ordinary human being, who has had privileged access to a lot of technology. And yet I think it's very interesting.

"Teleportation would make my life easier, because I would no longer have to travel continuously."

And if you could choose to have one superpower that you could use in real life, what would it be?

Perhaps teleportation, so he can travel wherever he wants. It would make my life easier, because I would no longer have to travel all the time. It would allow me to be anywhere in the world in a moment.

After Batman, Outlander and Jamie Fraser come into your life. What has this character meant to you?

Jamie has changed my life. Since I started playing it eight years ago, everything has completely changed. Until then, I was a normal actor; you know, towards theater, television... But Jamie really changed my world, he's given me a lot of opportunities, I've been able to create my own projects, write, produce... He's an incredible character that I've been growing up with, living with many experiences, I have grown old with him... It has been an incredible challenge to play him.

And what do you think is, in your opinion, the secret of the success of this series?

I think the incredible relationship that Jamie and Claire have, without a doubt; their romance, which never dies despite all the obstacles that come their way. No matter what, their love endures and I think that everyone would like to have a relationship like this. But this is to the credit of Diana Gabaldón [the American author of the saga of novels on which she is based]. She created these characters, who people love and season after season are waiting to see what will happen to them.

“Jamie has changed my life. Since I started interpreting him, everything has changed completely ”

In the seventh season, which premieres in Spain on June 17 on Movistar Plus+, will Jamie be alive from start to finish?

We are studying it... [laughs]. Yes, this story has to last even longer [recently it has been confirmed that the eighth will be the last season of the series]. Diana has written a tenth book, so we still have a long way to go.

If you could travel in time , as Claire's character, your wife, does in the series, what era would you travel to?

Wow, so I would love to go to Ancient Egypt, to Rome, and maybe I would also like to travel to the future to see what will happen in a hundred years.

Sam Heughan, in the dome of the Four Seasons hotel in Madrid with a total look by Zegna.

Although Heughan has often stated that it doesn't have much to do with his character in Outlander , what he does have in common with him is his Scottish origin, something he wears with pride, to the point of becoming its ambassador worldwide. In fact, in parallel to this series, he stars in another, Men in Kilts (its second season will also be available on Movistar Plus+ in the coming months), in which he tours Scotland accompanied by Graham McTavish (Dougal MacKenzie, in the series), to divulge the secrets of their culture and customs. And he also makes his own whisky, which he has named Sassenach, after the Gaelic word for non-Gaelics and Jamie for his fictional partner.

Outlander has been very successful in Spain. What do we Spaniards and Scots have in common?

I think the energy and passion in Spain is incredible, similar to ours. Scots and Spaniards have many things in common: we are very warm, friendly, passionate about sports and we also like to party. We are very similar.

The first thing you premiere now is the romantic comedy Love Again (Sony Pictures) , on May 12, in which you share the bill with Priyanka Chopra and Celine Dion herself . What can you tell us?

The film revolves around a great romance, although underlying it there is also a tragedy: the protagonist loses her fiancé and writes text messages to his old mobile number, which my character has, a journalist named Rob Burns who falls in love her. It is tragic, but also very beautiful. It's a very sweet film, with the presence of Celine Dion, an authority on romance [laughs]. I think people are going to have a lot of fun watching it.

[Notice to fans: Watch out for Heughan singing Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back to Me Now while taking a shower.]

In the case of the characters in the film, technology is crucial to finding each other. What do you think about using technology to find love?

I think technology helps us communicate and allows us to connect people who might not otherwise be able to, like the two characters in the movie. Dating apps and social media allow for more interaction, but maybe sometimes we rely too much on technology and hide behind it. I think an in-person connection is always better.

Perhaps Madrid could be the setting for your next romantic comedy... Where would it take place?

I love Madrid, it's great, romantic and full of energy. A romantic comedy set in Madrid would be very passionate. Perhaps in the Royal Palace, with a prince who meets a girl in the El Retiro park, but finds out that she is actually a professional soccer player. They see a game at the stadium and end with dinner and dancing in the San Miguel market.

In addition to work, you lead a project, My Peak Challenge, with which you collaborate in various solidarity initiatives. What is it about?

It is an online fitness program . The peakers , which is what the members are called, pay a fee for daily training, adapted to each one. They include yoga, mindfulness , nutrition program... In addition to the fee, 15% is contributed to charitable causes. It is about working for your health, for yourself, and at the same time helping others.

And what is the peak or challenge that has been the hardest for you to reach in your life?

Perhaps the large number of projects I have on my hands. Finding time to dedicate to all of them, but I am very lucky to be able to get them going.

After this interview, Waypoints came into my hands. My Scottish Journey (recently published in Spain by Principal de los libros), a kind of memoir in which Heughan alternates reflections on his life, parallel to a trip along a complicated hiking route, the West Highland Way, in the homeland of he. Among other things, he tells that he grew up without a father (he abandoned him at 18 months) and gives some clues that explain the man behind the actor. In fact, he is perfectly summed up in this fragment: “According to my mother, he was a little adventurer, although he could also be quite sensitive. When left to my own devices he could lead any attack, but in company he preferred not to be the center of attention. He wasn't shy: I just felt more comfortable watching from the rear."

Now it is understood why Wendy Kemp Forbes was part of SH's speech in Madrid last year. His improvised speech was not for social reasons. His interest in women's participation was very doubtful. The credibility of his speech was put aside by his opportunism 🤨
