POP music lovers will get a taste of the biggest boy band in the world when an award-winning One Direction tribute act hits Grays next month.

Only One Direction became the first tribute band to the X Factor-born group in 2012.

It immediately gathered a massive fan base of its own, and in less than three years the fivepiece band has performed to more than a quarter of a million people and is considered to be the best One Direction tribute band.

Only One Direction has also recently become the winner of Dubai’s Best Live Entertainment title for 2014.

The popular band has featured on UK national radio and on Virgin Radio as part of a recent tour.

The boys are now making their way to Grays to share their talents with “directioners” across Essex.

The One Direction tribute show features hits from the band’s smash first album and iconic songs from its time on the X Factor.

Hits that will be performed on the night include What Makes You Beautiful and Up All Night.

The show takes place at the Thameside Theatre, on Saturday, January 17, at 8pm.

Tickets are priced at £10.
