Not content with travelling the world on a tour that saw him entertain 500,000 fans across five continents, releasing his brand-new single Bigger Than Me and creating 'sonically ambitious' second album Faith In The Future, Louis Tomlinson has another passion.
Away From Home Festival, an event curated by the singer-songwriter, saw 17,000 music lovers descend upon Malaga, Spain last month for a line-up boasting the likes of The Vaccines, Hinds and Louis himself.

Speaking on his Away From Home Festival, which hosted its second event last month in Malaga, Louis told : "It’s only the second year we’ve done it, but it’s already something that’s pretty special to me.
"It’s something I’m really proud of. It’s a dream I’ve had for a long time, to create something like that. It’s already come such a long way, it’s something I’m immensely proud of."
Louis went on to explain that he feels a 'responsibility,' given his profile, to support rising singer-songwriters.
"There’s a responsibility, being in the situation I am and lucky enough to have the social following that I do," he told us. "If I can help out a little that’s really important to me.
"There’s this feeling – not of guilt as such – but of luck that I’m where I’m at.
"If I can help out, that’s good to me. That’s part of my intention behind Away From Home. The first festival that we did, we had a band called Bilk. If you haven’t heard of them, check them out because they’re amazing.

Earlier this summer, he shared a video of himself covering the band’s track ‘You and I’.Appearing as a guest on The Zack Sang Show this week, Tomlinson discussed his feelings about the covers and whether he and Malik are still friends.“He’s a different calibre in terms of singer, Zayn, definitely.
Louis Tomlinson wants to rebuild his friendship with Zayn Malik. The 30-year-old singer fell out with his former One Direction bandmate when the 'Pillowtalk' hitmaker quit the group in 2015, but he's now "closer to being over all that" than he ever was, though they haven't spoken.

Louis Tomlinson has dropped a fresh hint about One Direction reunion and insisted it "would be a shame" if they didn't get back together. The boy band ruled the charts for six years before embarking on an indefinite hiatus in January 2016 as the members headed off to pursue solo projects, but Louis has given fans hope they may "one day" return to the stage together but there are a lot of "moving parts' to consider to get a reunion rolling.
