This guy openly admitted to not knowing much about Louis' music but really got into Louis' set. He only seemed to know the One Direction songs and Catfish and the Bottleman but was also looking forward to seeing Louis again at another festival.
long live the 1975, marina & the diamonds, lorde, arctic monkeys and catfish and the bottleman!!! long live water line eyeliner!!! long live fishnets!!! long live denim shorts!!! long live flannels!!! long live romanticizing nicotine addictions and alcoholism!!!
Louis Tomlinson performs shirtless after fans completely destroy his tank top during wild New York concert
EMILY BASHFORTH, 30 Jul 2023
Louis Tomlinson fans got up close and personal with the One Direction star as he performed in New York this weekend – resulting in his actual clothes being torn to shreds.
As the Kill My Mind hitmaker, 31, took to the stage at Forest Hills Stadium with his Faith in the Future tour, understandably, energy was high.
Louis delighted the thousands-strong crowd with hits from his first and second albums, as well as some 1D tunes and even a Catfish And The Bottleman cover.
During hit song Silver Tongues, the award-winning star takes a moment to jump off stage and head right up to the barricade, basking in the screams and cheers from the audience.
Louis has said previously it’s his favourite moment of every gig, as he truly gets to feel the love from his fans – and his fans in the Big Apple did not hold back.
They got so excited by being that close to their idol, their instant reaction was to, erm, rip his shirt…
Yep, Louis’s black tank top was torn apart, forcing him to perform the rest of the show shirtless after chucking the remains of his top into the pit.
We wonder if that’s up on eBay yet…
Videos of the moment have, of course, been shared thousands of times, as concertgoers captured the moment Louis got absolutely mauled.
Reacting to the raucous point in the show, one fan tweeted: ‘I swear I am not jealous’.

‘He is THE rock star’, declared another.
‘Whoever caught the shirt, I hope you held on to it tight cuz there be a lot of feral fans wanting that lol. good luck getting out of there’, another said.
Although, not everyone was so thrilled about the behaviour from fans, as some Twitter users described it as ’embarrassing’ and ‘animalistic’.
Following the show, Louis remained in high spirits, taking to social media to thank his fans as the US leg of his tour draws to a close.
‘Can’t believe it’s the last show of this leg tomorrow. This tour has flown by!’, he began.
‘Tonight was incredible again. Don’t want this tour to end!!!’
Now, this wasn’t the first time fans went wild with questionable behaviour at one of Louis’s shows.
Recently, someone lobbed a bracelet at him while he performed, with Louis joining the club of singers who’ve been hit by flying objects.
Seemingly unimpressed, Louis flipped the middle finger at the culprit, although he carried on with the show in his typical cheeky manner.
The likes of Bebe Rexha, Ava Max, and Kelsea Ballerini have all had scary ordeals on stage so far this year, whether it’s getting hit by a phone to the eye or being slapped by an intruder.
hey!!! i just posted my new story on ao3. it’s an AU where louis is part of catfish and the bottleman and harry is, well, harry. would you love if you could read it and tell me what you think 🥺 its a work in progress but i’ll be post at least once a week
Guys it’s obvious why Van is taking so long 🙄. He’s learning to play all by himself! We’ve just seen a tiny pic of Conversation in which he’s holding a bass so we could guess he’s been learning since 2019. All that there’s left is improve his guitar skills and do the face melting solos (which would be a hard work since he hate them) and learn drums (I think it would be easy bc that man can’t run out of energy) also we’ve seen him shaking his legs and doing the little stomps on thousands of interviews which could be a sign that he’s been learning long time ago even. The record part is easy and for concerts he deffo would use a pedal board like Ed Sheeran and record the snippets of the songs with each instrument. So we have the one man band (Vand?) or Catfish and the Bottleman
Also he can’t argue with the other members
Why do you think we haven’t heard of another members or candidates? And why would Benji resign his place? That’s why the new company is called VM Music Ltd I think it is called
Okay, you’re trolling for sure. 😂 @howlove-hasbeen’s photo is very fitting. 😂
Louis : this album has been written with the live show in mind. The songs are meant for the live show, I can’t wait to play them.
Also Louis : let’s play that catfish and bottleman number and that song from that dead band would do nicely.
😈😈😈
Also Louis: I will write the most gut wrenching song on the side B of my first single and never talk about it. It's a very sad song. And you know what? I WILL play it live. It was obviously made for a live show 😌
tbh I think Van massively exaggerated the whole Australia thing 😂 I don't think he was a baby. If you look up Catfish the Bottleman he didn't start gigging or get his name until 2000, so Van would have had to be at least 7/8 years old, if not older. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a holiday and Van turned it into some big story for the interviews, he's not always been the most reliable storyteller 😂😂😂
Oh really? This is so funny as he always used to tell tall tales in his interviews! I think maybe he got a little bored with being asked the same questions over and over so he decided to have a bit of fun and spice it up a bit by making stuff up 😂 He even said he was actually born in Australia in one interview!
GUYS! HE WAS OUT OF TOWN IN TEXAS W HIS FAMILY LAST WEEK. AND HE TOLD ME “yo i saw this catfish and the bottleman tour merch at a thrift store. it was too small for me but i bought it thinking you could have it.” ISNT THAT FUCKING CRAZY!????!! I WONT HIMMMM 😭😭 *meowing* *barking* *rattling cage bars*
