And so the saga of the One Direction tour of the East Asia continues… After accusations of infidelity, break ups and one member actually LEAVING the tour, now fans are freaking the hell out because the band’s alleged rider has been leaked.
One Direction tour press guy; we don’t envy your job.
To be fair; the rider is far from being the most shocking thing we’ve ever seen – (Mariah Carey we’re looking at you) in fact, given worldwide fame and carte blanche we'd probably demanding way more bonkers things. Here’s some of the odder requests from the lads' rider.
‘Rooms A+B must have soft soft draped walls for a pleasant ambience’
Nope that’s not a typo; the rider does state that the draped walls must be ‘soft soft’, for extra softness. Note it’s only two out of the four rooms than insist on this. We’re going with Harry and Louis.
‘Soft toilet paper’
All four rooms require this and, TBF, we get where they’re coming from. There’s nothing worse than finding yourself on the loo confronted with only a sorry, scratchy excuse for tissue paper. Apart from, you know, not having any loo roll at all.
‘High speed internet connection that is separate to the house Wifi’
BUFFER FACE right guys?
‘Deodorized carpet’
What.
‘One glass fronted drinks fridge’
Because that extra effort you go to actually opening the fridge only to find out that there’s nothing in it could be the difference between you having the energy to perform for a stadium of people and you having to hit the hay for a well deserved nap.
‘Good bottle of red wine’
Interestingly enough though, this is only in the production office – there’s no mention of any booze in the lads’ rooms. Nice one chaps. Long live rock and roll.
‘A binder with assorted local menus; KFC, In and Out, Chick Fil A, local GOOD pizza places’
Good luck to the poor old runner who doesn’t know the difference between a ‘GOOD’ and ‘BAD’ pizza place.
