Notably, fan updates and live media from the venue confirmed a fully sold-out stadium, with thousands of fans packing the massive arena to watch him commence his very first solo headline arena tour.
The live audience went wild when Zayn, 33, revealed during the show that he was not wearing any in-ear monitors because he prefers to hear the raw crowd and the music directly.
The following night, May 24, at Manchester’s AO Arena featured both DJ Lonyo and comedian Usama Siddiquee.
