Festival Background and Previous Editions
Away From Home was first launched in London in 2021, designed to celebrate the resurgence of live music following pandemic-related shutdowns. Since its inception, the festival has expanded internationally, taking place in locations such as Malaga, Spain in 2022, Camaiore, Italy in 2023, and Mérida, Mexico last year. Artists like The Cribs, DMA’s, Hinds, and The Vaccines have graced the festival’s stages, showcasing a diverse array of musical talent.
Tomlinson, who gained fame as a member of One Direction, has transitioned successfully into a solo career. He has released two full-length albums since the band’s final album in 2015: Walls in 2020, which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart, and Faith in the Future in 2022, which achieved an even higher ranking at No. 5. In May, Tomlinson shared studio photos with his 19 million Instagram followers, hinting at the possibility of new music on the horizon.
As anticipation builds for the U.S. debut of the Away From Home festival, fans of Tomlinson and live music alike are eager to experience what promises to be a remarkable celebration of artistry and community.
