LONDON, U.K. --

Hit boy band One Direction has announced plans for an ambitious world tour in 2014.

Plans call for the youthful chart-toppers to play major stadiums in Latin America, Britain and Ireland during the first leg of the mega-tour that begins in April.

Band member Harry Styles said the idea of playing at Wembley “is incredible” and that the group is “very excited.”
