British boy band One Direction have announced they are heading back to Australia in 2015 as part of their On the Road Again global stadium tour.

The lads will play shows in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide before wrapping up at Patersons Stadium in Perth on February 20.

Comprising Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson, the band shot to stardom after they were pulled together by Simon Cowell for the 2010 season of The X Factor UK.

They have since gone on to play arena shows around the world.

Tickets for the general public will go on sale on May 31.
