Harry Styles has announced listening parties for his upcoming new album – check out all the details below.
Styles’ fourth solo studio album, ‘Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally’, is set to arrive on March 6. Now, he’s revealed that some fans will have a chance to hear it ahead of its release.
Taking to Instagram last night (February 12), the musician announced the events, which will take place in “40 cities” and begin on February 18.
“We wanna dance with all our friends,” Styles wrote in the caption.
It comes after he launched the album with a listening event for its first single, ‘Aperture’, at Rough Trade in New York City last month.
‘Aperture’ features Wolf Alice’s Ellie Rowsell and was inspired by LCD Soundsystem. In a review of the new track, NME said it was “Styles as we’d not heard him before”.
Later this month, Styles is set to perform at this year’s BRIT awards, which are taking place in Manchester for the first time.
The slot comes three years after he last performed on the BRIT Awards’ stage. At that 2023 ceremony, he was also nominated for four trophies, all relating to his hit 2022 album, ‘Harry’s House’.
Last month, Styles also confirmed a huge, seven-city ‘Together, Together’ tour, which includes a 12-night residency at London’s Wembley Stadium and an impressive 30 dates at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
When tickets went live for UK dates, there were queues of up to 250,000 people for each of the shows. It has also been revealed that Styles has broken several records at both Wembley and Madison Square Garden thanks to huge demand.
The Wembley gigs will see the ‘As It Was’ singer donate £1 from every ticket sold to LIVE’s levy, helping to protect UK grassroots music venues and support emerging talent. You can visit here for any remaining UK tickets, and here to get international tickets.
After tickets went live, his former One Direction bandmate Zayn Malik seemingly took a swipe at Styles by making a comment about ticket prices at a recent live show. “Hopefully the ticket prices weren’t too high – just saying!” he grinned at his recent Vegas gig, before shrugging. “Anyway!…”
Many fans have interpreted the comment as a nod to the conversations around the ticket prices for Styles’ upcoming shows at Wembley Stadium.
He’s also announced a “one night only” performance of the album at Manchester Co-Op Live Arena, with tickets costing £20.
In other news, Styles also recently shared that he needed to “fall in love with music all over again” after taking three years off after releasing ‘Harry’s House’ in 2022.
