Seven Reasons Why You Should See Harry Styles Right Now

Everything seems to be coming up roses: Harry Styles will bring his Together, Together tour into 2027 . He’s hitting six North American cities and then heading overseas, accompanied by stellar openers that include Caroline Polachek, Tinashe, Tears for Fears, Lainey Wilson, and more (Styles has a knack for choosing excellent supporting acts). Whatever next year brings, we’ll still be able to dance with all our friends.

Styles touring for the first time in three years is, as my colleague Rob Sheffield said , “The kind of pop spectacle that leaves feathers all over the floor and hysteria lingering in the air.” The show kicked off in Amsterdam last spring, following the release of his new album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally , and he’s only ramped it up since then, particularly with his 30-date Madison Square Garden run that just keeps getting better and better. “We’re gonna sing together, we’re gonna dance together, we’re gonna share this moment together, we’re gonna sweat together,” he told the crowd one night. “It’s gonna be a DISGUSTING evening!”

As part of our new franchise Don’t Miss Out , here are the reasons why you should see Styles right now. But you didn’t need those, did you? Ready, steady, go!

Styles gears up for each Together, Together show well before he even enters the venue — take his six-mile run to Wembley earlier this summer, or the many times he’s been spotted walking around New York City, including that one day he traveled from Brooklyn to Manhattan on foot for his final tour rehearsal . So it’s no surprise that the marathon runner delivers a high-energy show at the Garden with zero dull moments, a tight one-hour-and-50-minute evening packed with pure delight. His vocals have never sounded better — watch him climb those high notes on the chill-inducing “ Sign of the Times ,” or belt the celebratory closer “Aperture.” He rarely takes a beat, dancing around the glowing oval cat walk that surrounds the stage, cracking jokes to the crowd (it isn’t discussed enough just how humorous this guy can be). Take Aug. 29, the third night of the residency, when he playfully referenced Taylor Swift’s big day : “We’re at Madison Square Garden, home of the world champion New York Knicks!” he said. “And they also do weddings.” Editor’s picks The 250 Greatest Albums of the 21st Century So Far The 100 Best TV Episodes of All Time The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century

There’s a lot of love in the audience at Together Together, with some celebrating birthdays (Styles will often sing to them), weddings, pregnancies, or just any old Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday. Fans communicate on group texts titled “Harry MSG,” trading bracelets and glow sticks while bedazzled in sequins. Bad vibes are left on the Penn Station subway platform, and everyone is just happy to be here — so happy that, sometimes, Styles has to remind the crowd to breathe.

Together, Together has some quiet moments, like the beautiful rendition of “ Sweet Creature ,” performed by vocalists Laura Bibbs and Lorren Chiodo, or when Styles sits down at a Rhodes MK8 to deliver “Carla’s Song” and “Coming Up Roses” on the keys.
