Niall Horan has been thinking about the set list for his upcoming Dinner Party tour for months. But with four albums to factor in, the singer-songwriter has recruited his fanbase to help him decide what makes the cut.

There are 50 total songs listed, meaning fans must vote strategically if they want their favorite deep cut making it onto the set list. They also have the option to note which date they will be attending.

It’s also the thing that I’ve done the most of for the last 15 years,” Horan said about touring. I’ve already basically made the set list, and we’re six months out from it even starting. I have it all in my head.
