Today is the day that One Direction fans around the world have been waiting for; the eagerly-anticipated 1D Day.

In case you’ve been living under a rock and have failed to notice anything about the heavily-publicised event, we’ve put together a couple of ‘everything you need to know’ things, along with a way of watching the live stream right here!

So, what is 1D Day?
1D Day is the British boyband’s seven-hour live stream, hosted by the boys themselves and featuring special guests along with first-plays of some of their new album Midnight Memories (which we’ve reviewed, here) and behind-the-scenes footage. “1D Day is all about giving back to our amazing fans for supporting us for the past three years…. When we suggested it, we never thought anyone would let us loose LIVE all day — we cannot wait!” said singer Liam Payne in the official press release.

Where can we watch it??
Right here! Check the embedded video below to watch it all live, as it happens!

Who are the special guests?
There’s LOADS, and we mean loads! It seems that nearly every famous person from all walks of life want to get involved with the worldwide-phenomenon that is One Direction. Guests will include Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan, Scott Mills, Louis Walsh, Nicole Sherzinger, Kelly Rowland, Robbie Williams, The Muppets and many MANY more.

So, that’s it…. who knows what’s going to happen, but tune in as of 7pm UK time tonight (11am PT).
