Harry Styles has kept an extremely low profile since wrapping up his Love On Tour run in July 2023, but he’s going to reemerge Feb. 28 when he performs in Manchester, England, at the Brit Awards. It’ll mark the first time he’s played any of the songs publicly from his upcoming album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. Currently, Olivia Dean is the only other confirmed performer at the show.
The announcement comes a week after Styles rolled out plans for his 2026 Together, Together world tour, where he will visit just seven cities. The centerpiece is an unprecedented 50-night stand at Madison Square Garden. The pre-sale for the New York City arena generated 11.5 million registrations. It’s the highest volume ever recorded for an artist pre-sale in New York City, and the largest artist presale registration performance ever seen for a residency-style run.
Unsurprisingly, many fans were enraged by long digital lines and high ticket prices during the pre-sale since those 11.5 million registrants are competing for around 540,000 tickets. “Tickets for this event have been priced in advance by the tour from $50 – $1,182.40, including service fees,” fans were told during the wait. “Ticket prices will not change during the presale or on-sale. Price ranges do not apply to VIP packages. Tickets are subject to availability.” The general on-sales for the shows will take place on Jan. 30 and Feb. 4.
In a recent interview with John Mayer on SiriusXM, Styles talked about the Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally leadoff single “Aperture.” “It was the last song that was made for the record,” he said. “It was kind of when we were at our most free, I think making music and was just like, this is the first song that I play to people when I’ve showed them what the new music sounds like, that it just felt like the obvious ended up feeling like the obvious choice of what should come first. I think the idea of opening up and kind of being the doorway into that kind of transition felt like that’s what I wanted to communicate.”
He also explained that he spent the last couple of years traveling the world and attending concerts. “The most important thing was about being on the other side of the audience experience, so you know, spending so much time onstage,” he said. “It’s really easy to forget what it feels like to be in the middle of a crowd and dancing and singing with strangers and that’s what I’ve been doing the last couple years.”
He told the BBC that he was particularly inspired by a pair of LCD Soundsystem shows that he witnessed. “I saw them at a festival in Madrid, that was in like a car park, basically, and then I saw them again at Brixton, and it was just, it’s like, so joyous,” he said. “And when you’re kind of watching them be so like immersed in it … I think the inspiration from them came of like, ‘Oh, that’s how I want to feel when I’m onstage’. And then that kind of led to the kind of music I was making.”
Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. arrives on March 6. And even though he’s playing a mere seven cities in 2026, odds seem high that he’ll spend at least part of 2027 hitting other markets. But if he wants to please all 11.5 million people who pre-registered for MSG, he’ll need to book another 600 or so shows at the arena.
