Sometimes the best way to mourn is by joyously celebrating what was. Formed 15 years ago across the pond in London, the five-piece boy band One Direction caused a commotion akin to Beatlemania during their peak powers. For some, 1D was everything. For others, a passing phase or an ironic interest. The band announced a “hiatus” in 2016, but fans quickly realized they’d never get back together. After the unexpected death of 1D member Liam Payne in late 2024, the nostalgia bug crept up on Directioners everywhere, reviving a once-dormant all-consuming adoration. Directioner or not, dance all night to the best songs ever and make some midnight memories at the Knit this Saturday when Club 90s: One Direction Night rolls through town.
