The technological marvel was opened in 2023 with a 40-night residency by Irish rock band U2, and so far has catered mainly to an older demographic. The venue will host country musician Kenny Chesney in May and June, followed by The Backstreet Boys until August, who are the last confirmed act to play the Las Vegas arena. Noting the need for more contemporary artists, a source told the New York Post, “For the Sphere to continue to be on everyone’s radar, they need to book some real ‘live’ artists like Styles.”

 If the Englishman was to sign on, he would bring a younger, pop-oriented audience to Sin City. His Love on Tour run spanned 171 shows and grossed over $600 million, selling five million tickets. Styles launched the show in 2021, kicking off the worldwide tour in Las Vegas, and held a 15-night residency at Madison Square Garden. This has further fuelled the rumours, as Madison Square Garden’s parent company also owns the Las Vegas Sphere. 

I got Backstreet Boys sphere ga floor for $225. Taxes and fees included :))) that’s not always the case.

  Comparing ticket prices for previous shows at the venue to a potential Styles run is difficult considering the vastly different audience he would bring. Discussing potential pricing for the Styles show, one X user revealed that they had paid upwards of $200 for a general admission ticket to the upcoming Backstreet Boys shows. Given that the 31-year-old has more than double the Backstreet Boys’ monthly listeners, ticket prices could well be expected to exceed that.

The rumours have sent fans delirious, speculating on the slightest of details, though also weary of getting over-excited given the lack of confirmation. Fans on the r/HarryStyles subreddit considered whether the residency could be part of a wider tour, possibly supporting a new album. His three albums were all released roughly two and a half years apart, and following this pattern, a new album could be announced before any possible shows.

 British newspaper The Sun has published contradictory reports in which they claim that sources close to the singer deny the rumours, though no further details were given. Meanwhile, the New York Post approached the venue for comment, though representatives declined, stating they only discuss artists who have been officially announced. 

For now, fans of the former One Direction man will be hoping the rumours become something more concrete. If a residency materialises, it will be a unique opportunity for both the artist and the venue.

On a somewhat sombre note Styles, sat alone at his piano, peacefully plinked away as though he were at in a world one his own. Addressing the audience in English Styles spoke with immense gratitude,“I’d like to say thank you to a couple of people, and then we’re gonna give you some more music”, thanking members of the road crew as well as his band before continuing in Italian saying that “Tonight we will give you 100%. Then it will be time to rest. For me. I am tired, but happy. Very tired, but very very happy. I want to to have as much fun as possible” A visibly emotional Styles also thanked his family “for the way you’ve supported me over the last thirty years”.

In a video of the final performance audible sobbing can be heard coming from the swathes of smitten fans, weeping along to the glitter coated singers piano plucked swan song, the mood is melancholic and the tune is mediative giving off a ‘don’t be sad that its over be happy that it happened’ kind of vibe.

Having persevered through pandemic pauses, perhaps it comes as no surprise that Styles chose to conclude the two year long world tour in Italy, in an interview with Apple Music’s hipster in chief Zane Lowe. Styles spoke an emotional experience of self discovery, finding peace and relaxation away from the prying eyes of the public on a solo road trip to Italy during the brief break between the lifting of lockdowns. Reflecting upon his road trip of self imposed solitude; “I relaxed a lot and felt like no one knew where I was and felt like a human being and felt very small in a good way”, Styles drawls softly, his voice vibrating with hints of a pseudo-transatlantic accent.

The Love On Tour also saw Styles invite opening band Wet Leg on stage to perform a Harry Stylish rendition of the band’s omnipresent ear-worm “Wet Dream” off of their eponymous debut LP.“It has been the most wonderful, wonderful tour, getting watch them play every night” he gushed before introducing the band in Portugal. This wasn’t the first time Styles and his band had performed their rendition of Wet Leg’s song, having already performed it as part of their set for Radio One’s Live Lounge.

Meanwhile Madame Tussauds have hatched a fresh batch of seven wax mannequins in honour of Harry’s…style? So it would seem, each wax figure depicts the singer donning one of his iconic outfits. The seven Styles have been shipped out across the globe, doomed to an eternity of exhibition halls, destined to be gawked at by gangs of giddy girls (and guys) for the remainder of their wretched wax lives.

This is the third single taken from their newest album, Cuts & Bruises, released in February 2023. The album reached No.2 on the UK Albums Chart and No.1 on the Irish Albums Chart.

Speaking to NME about the inspiration behind the track, the band said, “Whilst on tour in America last year we were listening to a lot of music by some of the great American writers such as Bob Dylan, The Band, Bruce Springsteen etc. Listening to these artists while travelling on big open highways resonated with us and helped shape this song into making us sound more like a live band than we had before.”

Inhaler have reached new heights this year, supporting Arctic Monkeys on tour. Frontman Eli Hewson shared his thoughts with NME, saying, “It’s hard to not feel like a child when you’re around them.”

He continued, “It still isn’t really resonating that we’re doing it. But they’re the most lovely and welcoming guys, so we’ve just got to try and be the best band we can.”

Speaking on the band’s touring plans of their own, Hewson said, “It’s going to be a better show. It’s not just five lads on stage chancing their arm anymore; we actually have to step up and make it a real thing.”

Inhaler also spoke on their struggles around making their new album and found reassurance in watching Peter Jackson’s Get Back Beatles documentary.

Drummer Ryan McMahon said, “You’re watching the greatest band of all time and go through their own problems and their own struggles. You think, ‘That’s a perfect record – how could there be anything wrong with it?’, and then you see what their relationship was like. It gave us a sense that, though we were at loggerheads sometimes, we were all working on something that felt good and felt right.”

The band’s fanbase is certain to widen even further this year, as they are set to support Harry Styles on the UK and European legs of ‘Love On Tour.‘

Inhaler are also about to embark on their own European and UK tour, with tickets available to purchase here.

The singer was unable to make the event due to his current touring schedule and accepted his artist of the year award via video message. In his acceptance speech, Styles introduced himself and continued by saying “I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone at the iHearts Awards for giving me this prestigious honour of Artist of the Year. It is very kind of you and I’m sorry that I can’t be there with you tonight. I hope you’re all having a wonderful evening, and thank you very much. Take care.”

The 2023 iHeart Music Awards was hosted by Lenny Kravitz and took place in Los Angeles on March 27, at the Dolby Theatre. Taylor swift was the biggest winner of the night, winning the iHeart Radio Innovator Award, as well as Song of the Year and Best Lyrics for her song ‘’Anti-Hero.’’ Sam Smith and Kim Petras also won an award for Best Collaboration for their hit song ‘’Unholy.’’

Harry Styles has gained attention recently for reasons other than his music, but more so for his love life. The former One Direction band member was spotted last week kissing Model and Actress, Emily Ratajkowski, in the streets of Tokyo, Japan. The kiss sparked a controversial reaction from fans, as Ratajkowski is supposedly a friend of Styles ex-girlfriend, Olivia Wilde. Neither Harry Styles or Emily Ratajkowski have confirmed a relationship so far.

Harry Styles has received critical acclaim for his most recent album release, Harry’s House, and the album still continues to receive the positive recognition it deserves. The star is currently performing globally with his Love On Tour shows, which has seen him tour around USA, Europe and Australia. Harry Styles is set to return to the UK this Summer for his Love On Tour. He is scheduled to perform in Coventry and Edinburgh at the end of May, with four scheduled London Wembley Arena shows and two scheduled Cardiff shows in June.

Styles, who won the prestigious Album of the Year award for Harry’s House, performed his hit single “As It Was” during the show but was faced with technical difficulties.

The performance had Harry and his backup dancers moving around a spinning turntable, reminiscent of that seen in the “As It Was” music video.

However, the stage unfortunately began to spin in the wrong direction when the performance started. Styles and his dancers were forced to adapt their routine on the spot, resulting in a clumsier performance than had been meticulously rehearsed.

Grammys set designer Julio Himede has opened up about the incident on the BBC’s Eurovision podcast, revealing that Styles “called the team in charge to make sure they were OK.” Himede said the incident was “heartbreaking.“

He continued, “In rehearsals his performance was so polished. I was sitting there admiring how amazing Harry and his dancers were to just run with it and cope with it. To continue the performance live and all of a sudden think, ‘I have to just go in reverse now’, is quite incredible.“

Himede will be designing the sets for the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest and is keen to avoid any similar mishaps. The stage will have to be reset in 60 seconds after performances, with Himede calling it “organised chaos.“

Fans were quick to jump to Harry’s defence after his performance didn’t quite reach the standards he has set for himself as a performer. Fans responded to Brandon Mathis, one of the backup dancers, who revealed that the performance had to be reworked on the spot.

Do you guys know how big of a deal the stage spinning the wrong way is? The dancers and Harry had to do the performance backwards. They were all on the opposite of their marks etc no wonder Harry’s voice was shaking right away, he was freaking out

One fan tweeted that they “would’ve just started to cry” had they been in Harry’s position.

Harry’s better than me because if my stage started spinning backwards I would’ve just started to cry — Julia (@WORLDLWT2) February 6, 2023

This was not the only problematic aspect of Harry’s Grammy attendance this year. Despite winning the most prized Grammy Award for Album of the Year, Harry faced backlash following his acceptance speech.

Controversially, Styles said “this doesn’t happen to people like me very often” and faced immediate criticism for his tone deaf comment. Twitter users were quick to fire back.

Despite a bumpy evening, Styles has held onto his reputation as the friendliest man in pop, staying true to his “Treat People With Kindness” message by ensuring those around him were fine following the show’s mishaps.

The former One Direction bandmember was forced to reschedule the Chicago opening of his Love on Tour just hours before curtain, Styles has cited the reason as “Out of an abundance of caution”. The venue took to Twitter to explain the situation, “Out of an abundance of caution, tonight’s Harry Styles show on Thursday, October 6, 2022 at United Center has been rescheduled to Monday, October 10, 2022 due to band/crew illness.

The beloved Chicago venue took to Twitter again to confirm further details concerning wristbands, an issued statement continued, “The numbered wristbands given on Thursday, Oct. 6 for GA will be honoured on the rescheduled date of Monday, Oct. 10. Guests can line up in the previous order given as long as they arrive before 5 PM on Monday, Oct. 10. Any numbered wristband arriving after 5 PM will be placed in line after the last guest in line.”

The message continued, “Original numbered wristband must be presented on Monday, Oct. 10 to be honoured. Guests without previous numbered wristbands will be placed in line after the last guest in line.” No further details confirming the origins of the illness or parties involved have been confirmed, such information has yet to be given by a spokesperson for the singer.

Styles’ famed Love On Tour was originally scheduled to consist of six dates at Chicago’s United Centre, initially meant to start on 8th October 2022 the residency was to last until 15th October 2022. Styles’ career-defining tour is next scheduled to stop in California on 23rd October 2022 and consists of fifteen dates at Inglewood venue Kia Forum.

The British Indie band will take over from the previous supporting act Koffee when Styles performs in Australia on 20th February 2023, the band will continue with Styles across Australia and Europe before returning to the UK with the “Watermelon Sugar” singer. Both acts will take to Coventry’s Building Society Arena on 22nd and 23rd May 2023, before heading back to Europe Styles and Wet Leg will perform at Edinburgh’s BT Murrayfield Stadium on 26th and 27th May 2023.

Equipped with a tagline which references the singer’s chart-topping album, Madison Square Garden is Harry’s House, the concert’s run has become historic due to its length. To mark Styles’ legendary residence at Madison Square Garden, the former One Direction band member was honoured with a banner marked with his name. The personalised banner was raised at the New York venue to commemorate his record and TV personality Gayle King presented Styles with the special reward.

Speaking on stage, King said, “We have a surprise for you, Harry! We’re all at Harry’s House right now. Fifteenth consecutive night, sold out show. “No artist has ever done that before. Twenty-thousand people, Harry, on their feet. We think you are walking joy, walking happiness … and we just want to say to you Harry, we don’t want to say goodnight to you, Harry Styles!“

Reacting to the unveiling of his banner and King’s comments, Styles could be seen tearing up and addressed the audience saying, “I just want to say from the bottom of my heart to each and every single one of you who came tonight… That’s insane, To all of you who bought a ticket, thank you so, so much for your support. Things like this don’t happen to people like me very often… and I just want to thank you all. You’ve changed my life each and every single one of you thank you so, so much. Any time when you come to Madison Square Garden and you see that, you remember it’s because of you. That is ours.“

With the unveling of his banner at Madison Square Gardens, Styles has joined a very small club; there are only two other artists who have received such an honour. The first to be bestowed their own banner was Billy Joel, the “Piano Man” singer has held a close relationship with New York’s most famous venue throughout his career. The American singer and pianist’s association with Madison Square Gardens is evident in his 129 shows; Joel was even given a second banner when he concluded his 83-show residency.

The second act to be given a banner was progressive funk rockers Phish; the American group’s banner was erected after they finished their run of shows. The 2017 concert series consisted of thirteen gigs and became famous for the set lists; those in attendance confirmed that the band did not repeat any songs across all thirteen gigs.

After only recently completing a sold-out 43-date arena tour in 2021, and two special One Night Only shows in New York and London this year, the highly anticipated tour in support of his new album Harry’s House will allow fans to access multiple nights in major cities across the globe turning iconic venues into Harry’s House. The 2023 European leg will also be Harry’s first full stadium outing in the region, as well as a great chance to catch British indie newcomers Wet Leg thrive in a well-deserved venue of these sizes.

The last weekend also saw Styles dominating the stage at the MTV VMAs. The annual event was held last Sunday (August 28^th) and saw the likes of LL Cool J, Nicki Minaj and rapper Jack Harlow hosting. Styles accepted the coveted Album Of The Year accolade via a pre-recorded message that spoke, “I’m sorry I can’t be there with you tonight, I hope you’re having a wonderful evening, and thank you so much.” Before coming back to conclude, “I know this is a fan-voted award. I would like to say thank you to all my fans who voted, I wouldn’t be holding this if it wasn’t for you.” The event recently caught some flack after Harlow and Italian Eurovision band Måneskin pulled out of performances at Reading and Leeds Festival to perform at the ceremony.

Outside of the AOTY category, Styles also topped the bill with “As It Was” for Best Pop Performance and Best Cinematography. You can get the full lowdown here.

Previously planned to go ahead in 2020, the Love On Tour shows had to be re-scheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, much like all the other tours and live events that had to do the same as the live industry witnessed the most devastating effects they’ve had to tackle in recent history. The pandemic saw a huge impact on the live events industry with live music revenues decreasing by 90% and one in three jobs in the sector being lost.

However, we can always count on Harry Styles to spread the joy of our industry rising from the ashes once more. The 32 date tour will see Styles play shows from Glasgow to Mexico starting on the 11th of June and ending on the 10th of December. This tour will also see Styles playing the biggest venues he’s ever played, with the four UK dates on the Tour all being stadium shows consisting of Glasgow’s Ibrox Stadium, Manchester’s Emirates Old Trafford, London’s Wembley Stadium and Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.

I’m so happy to announce that ‘Love On Tour 2022’ is finally coming to the UK, Europe and South America.

Public on sale begins on Friday, Jan 28. Check your venue website for further information about your show, and protocols.

The tour will be in support of his number one album Fine Line which will presumably include performances of ‘Watermelon Sugar‘, ‘Adore You‘, ‘Fine Line‘ and ‘Lights Up‘ all of which landed in the top 30 of the UK’s official charts over the past year. Harry Styles simply has a bug for dominating the charts and his discography shone light throughout the pandemic; upon hearing the news fans are beside themselves to be hearing these anthemic tracks in the company of thousands of other likeminded listeners with one twitter user writing: “Harry Styles sold out 20,000 tickets to his cancelled 2020 show at London’s O2 Arena. After endless rescheduling he’s finally set a new date for the same gig, at a new venue – Wembley Stadium. Capacity: 90,000 people. What a difference 2 years makes. Damn that man is good.”

News surrounding the tour continues to be filled with exciting news, especially surrounding the support acts who will be joining Styles on the tour. Fellow pop super star acts will be sharing the stage with Wolf Alice, Arlo Parks and Mitski all having been revealed as the opening artists for the anticipated shows.

Styles had a brilliant year in 2021 in terms of his career, winning his first BRIT award for Best British Single courtesy of the summer anthem ‘Watermelon Sugar‘ from his sophomore album, and winning his first Grammy for Best Pop Performance. Since his One Direction days, Harry Styles has truly grown into the preppy, all inclusive mega star we all know and love. His plans for the year ahead certainly seem to be in continual of these previous successes, solidifying himself as one of the most innovative British household names.

Tickets for his upcoming tour will be released on Friday the 28th of January.

The UK dates are as follows:

11/06/2022 – Ibox Stadium – Glasgow
