It was his first gig in Ireland in five years.
Niall Horan says he couldn't put in words what it meant to him to return to the midlands and play at Electric Picnic.
The Mullingar man took to the stage shortly after 9 o'clock last night but the show was paused after experiencing technical difficulties.
He played one line of Nice To Meet You, before the sound failed.
He continued for a few seconds, unaware we couldn't hear anything.
The Slow Hands singer then left the stage along with his backing group and returned ten minutes later, with take two going off without a hitch.

Billie Eilish's performance later went smoothly.
Lyra says she's still deciding what to wear for her Electric Picnic performance tomorrow.
The Cork singer is on the main stage at 4 o'clock on Sunday:
Paolo Nutini and Fred Again headline day two of the festival.
These fans say they're all about the techno music:
Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather says a dry and sunny day is in store for the 70,000 music fans attending day-two of the festival.
