Niall Horan has announced his first stadium show in Auckland - but fans will have to wait a while to see it.

Horan, a former member of One Direction, will perform at Spark Arena on June 1 as part of his Flicker World Tour. Tickets go on sale on September 14.

He'll be playing on the back of his debut solo album due out before Christmas, which is set to include singles Slow Hands and This Town.

Horan says the album will be influenced by "early 80's stuff".

"I've been listening to a lot of early 80's stuff lately and been inspired by that heavy bass and the funky guitar sound. It's another flavour to my album that I'm excited to share," he said recently.

Maren Morris will open Horan's Auckland show.

Tickets go on sale on September 14. A pre-sale begins on September 13.
