Three new UK dates have been added to the One Direction 'Where We Are' world tour shortly after the initial batch of tour tickets went on sale today (May 25) at 10am (UK time).

The new dates are Saturday May 24 at Dublin's Croke Park, Sunday June 8 2014 at Wembley Stadium, and Sunday June 1 2014 at Manchester's Etihad Stadium.

The tour was announced at Wembley Stadium on May 16 at a press conference featuring the band. Some of the tour dates have already sold out.
