One Direction will reportedly be assigned 100 security personnel for an upcoming gig in the US.

The British boyband will perform a 45-minute set of just four songs at the concert at the Dr Pepper Ballpark in Dallas.

The group have been given the large detail to protect them from the 7,000-strong expected crowd.

The security members will include 40 for close protection, 50 at the venue itself and ten more on standby, reports TMZ.

One Direction have experienced a highly successful period in the US so far this year, including becoming the first British band to debut at number one on the Billboard album chart.
