One Direction

One Direction will record new music while touring around the world. Apparently, the British boy band intends to travel with a mobile recording studio next year.

“One Direction will travel with their own studio in tow when they play stadium dates. It's going to cost a few quid but then, considering the amount of cash they're making on the tour, they can afford it,” a source revealed to British newspaper The Sun. “The boys are all writing more and more themselves these days so it will allow them to develop as songwriters. Because of the shows across the globe they'll have no time out to record so this is the best way to get the fourth album done.”

The members of the group, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, will be travelling to South America next April as part of the Where We Are tour. They will also perform in Europe.

“It was all worked out as part of the deal they did with Simon Cowell and Syco records earlier this month,” an insider added.

It was recently reported that One Direction had signed a new deal worth £10 million with music mogul Simon Cowell, and that the band would release another three albums under Simon's Syco record label by 2016. Two of the albums will feature new material, while the third will be a greatest hits compilation.

One Direction's third album, Midnight Memories, is due for release this November, and includes their recent hit single Best Song Ever.
