The wait is finally over.

After counting down for months, One Direction will kick off the North American leg of their Where We Are Tour on Friday night (August 1) at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada -- and MTV News will be there!

The fivesome will be turning up the heat as they spend the next few months Stateside, making this literally the best summer ever.

So what can you expect when you see Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis and Zayn in action? Well here is everything you should know about the big 1D arena tour.

The #1 Band In The U.S. Is Your Opening Act

MTV

The 5SOS boys -- Calum, Luke, Ashton and Michael -- will resume their position as the opening act on the Where We Are Tour, bringing their #1 debut album to the 5SOS fam and the Directioners. The guys will be taking the stage all but two nights of the tour (Arlington, Texas and St. Louis), but they have good reason: to perform at the 2014 Video Music Awards on August 24, where they are up for award for Artist To Watch.

What To Bring

You don't want to be weighed down with carry-ons, but you also want to be prepared. No matter what you end up packing, don't forget these two essentials:

What To Wear

This is probably one of the hardest decisions you will make all night. If you're like me, you will spend a good part of your day staring into your closet wondering, what do I wear? Of course, comfort is key because dancing will be taking place, but in case you really want to stand out in a crowd, here are some suggestions:

Make Their Heads Turn In Your "Little Black Dress"

Ripped Skinny Jeans Like Luke

A Wedding Dress?

Hey, you never know.
