For the first time since 2001, concerts are coming back to Ralph Wilson Stadium. The pop group One Direction will play The Ralph next November, it was announced Thursday. More than 30 concerts have been staged at the stadium since 1974. The last was Dave Matthews Band in June of 2001. 

In a written statement, Buffalo Bills President Russ Brandon says one of the goals of the stadium's recent renovation was to make it a multi-purpose facility. 

“We’re thrilled to bring concerts back to the Ralph, and we know our region will bring the same excitement they bring to the stadium on gamedays," Brandon said.

Tickets for the One Direction show on September 3, 2015 will go on sale November 1.
