Harry Styles’ jam-packed album release week has continued with an appearance on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge on Thursday (March 12).

The singer hit the BBC’s Maida Vale studio for a five-song set which included tracks from new album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally and a special surprise cover of Tears For Fears’ 1985 classic “Everybody Wants to Rule The World”. Listen to the full show here, and watch Style’s performances below.

Styles has appeared in the Radio 1 Live Lounge multiple times before. He last performed on the segment in 2022 to cover Wet Leg’s “Wet Dream,” a song from the English indie band’s self-titled debut. In 2019 he tackled Lizzo’s “Juice” and during his debut album campaign in 2017, he covered Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.”

During the five-song performance, Styles performed a number of songs from his new LP, including the singles “Aperture” and “American Girls,” as well as “Carla’s Song” and “Dance No More.” The Tears for Fears smash was released first released by the English synth-pop band as a single in 1985 and hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in June of that year, notching two weeks at the summit

This coming Saturday (March 14) Styles will pull double-duty on Saturday Night Live as a host and performer. He first hosted the show in 2019 and has appeared as a musical guest four times in his career as a soloist and with his band One Direction. He also popped into the monologue last weekend and became a hilariously annoying distraction to host Ryan Gosling.

Styles also released a One Night Only special on Netflix which featured a performance of Kiss All The Time… in full, giving live debuts to each track aside from “Aperture” which he previewed at the BRIT Awards on Feb. 28.

A global residency tour titled Together, Together will kick off in Amsterdam, Netherlands in May before heading to London, Sao Paolo, Mexico City, New York City, Melbourne and Sydney throughout 2026.
