NIALL Horan celebrated after his Dublin gig at a secret after-party in with Ed Sheeran. The former One Direction star is back in Ireland to close out his biggest-ever solo tour. The Mullingar native performed at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin , last night and will be back on stage tonight for his last performance.
Niall surprised his fans last night by bringing his "good friend" Ed Sheeran out on stage. The 30-year-old told the crowd: "He loves this country dearly and made his way across from England today to be here with us tonight. "Can you please give it up for my good friend, the great Ed Sheeran.
" The pair sang Horan’s hit song Little Things, with both playing the guitar. After the sold-out gig, Niall hosted an after-party at Dublin's semi-exclusive speakeasy bar, Hacienda, which is located on Little Mary Street in Smithfield. The exclusive pub has gained a reputation over the years for hosting some of the famous musicians and actors in the world, including the likes of Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo.
The well-known publican, Shay Duignan, is renowned for posting pictures of himself with celebs on the pub’s social media channels. Shay took a quick snap with Niall and Ed and wrote: "Hacienda Great to welcome Ed Sheeran and Niall Horan to the Hacienda last night." He revealed that there were even more celebs present at the gathering saying: "It was a wonderful night and it was also special to welcome James Blunt and Lewis Capaldi.
" The Shape of You singer also took a selfie sipping on a pint of Guinness. Ed certainly looked the part wearing his Niall Horan merch jumper that said: "Dublin is for lovers." While Niall looked casual wearing a white tank top, open short-sleeve white shirt and cream trousers.
The musician's fans all went wild for the iconic duo's collaboration. Sienna said: "My favs." Olivia wrote: "Madness.
" Another fan commented: "Ed x Niall WHO would’ve thought?" A fourth added: "Our favourite duo." Many celebs have partied at Hacienda over the years including Saoirse Ronan , Domhnall Gleeson, Damien Dempsey, Kings of Leon and Hozier. The pub has become an iconic Dublin stopping point for Hollywood actors and international pop stars down through the years.
Ed Sheeran had his own after-party there after his sell-out Croke Park shows in 2015, before returning to the pub in 2017. More recently, Taylor Swift stopped by with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and legendary singer Stevie Nicks. The Shake It Off singer celebrated in the pub after she ffinished the Irish leg of her Eras Tour on June 30 after three sensational sold-out gigs in the Aviva Stadium.
But the Hacienda Bar's owner decided not to ask Taylor and her guests for a picture on that occasion. He announced: "Great to welcome Taylor Swift with all her musicians and dancers to the Hacienda last night. "Special to also welcome Superbowl champion Travis Kelce, the legendary Stevie Nicks and Paramore.
"It was such a warm and genuinely friendly night, we did not request our 'usual' Hacienda photo so as to allow Taylor and friends the chance to properly relax and enjoy their well-deserved time off.".
