Niall Horan has revealed that his fourth solo album is finished, sharing the news on social media along with a snippet of new music. The announcement follows his recent collaboration and comes after a period of touring and a promised return to music-making. He expects to release music later this year.
Niall Horan, former member of One Direction, confirmed on February 24, 2026, via social media that his fourth solo album is complete. In an Instagram post, he captioned a series of photos, including a short video of piano notes, with the simple message: “Album is DONE.” The post, shared from his official account @NiallOfficial, excited fans who left comments expressing anticipation.
This album serves as the follow-up to his 2023 release 'The Show.' Earlier in February 2026, Horan discussed the project during an appearance on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show with Fleur East. He stated: “I’m in here finishing it right now. So I’m in the beat lab.” He added: “I’m just finishing off some vocal bits and things like that, that I wasn’t happy with, but yeah…I should have music sometime this year. And I’m very excited about it!”
The announcement aligns with activity from other former One Direction members. Harry Styles is set to release his fourth solo album 'Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally' on March 6, 2026, and has planned listening parties and a tour. Zayn Malik announced his fifth album 'Konnakol,' due April 17, 2026, along with a world tour. Horan recently collaborated with Myles Smith on the track 'Drive Safe,' released in January 2026, though it is unclear if it will appear on the new album.
After concluding his 'The Show Live On Tour' in 2024, Horan had indicated a break but promised new material. No title or exact release date for the album has been disclosed, with fans referring to it as '#NH4.'
