Harry Styles thinks that performing a residency in one location leads to a “better show” than touring in multiple cities.
In a recent interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Styles shed light on the impetus for his upcoming “Together, Together” residency tour and why he prefers having fans travel to see him play at a single venue over multiple dates.
“I mean, I think a lot of the thinking behind it for me is about, I think it makes the show better,” Styles said. “I think you can build something that doesn’t have to travel every night. I think the show itself is better. I think there’s something in this that allows me to like stay in my life while I’m doing it. And therefore I think it allows me to take care of myself better, which I think makes me better at doing the thing.”

Before you panic, Styles isn’t saying he won’t tour again. “It’s not like I’m saying I’ll never travel again, but I want to see what it looks like if you do it a different way,” the singer explained. “And people in my band have families now and kids, and some aspects of that too. It’s really important to me that they’re on the road, that I would love to have them. I don’t want to make it like near impossible for them to be able to come do that with me.”
In January, Styles announced “Together, Together” — a seven-city residency tour that spans 60 performances. Kicking off in May in Amsterdam at Johan Cruijff ArenA, Styles will also go to London’s Wembley Stadium in June, Estadio MorumBIS in São Paulo in July, and Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City in August.
After that, Styles will perform at Madison Square Garden in New York City for a massive 30-night run throughout most of the fall. He’ll close the trek with shows in Melbourne and Sydney in November and December. On each residency stop, Styles will be joined by a different special guest, including Shania Twain, Jamie xx, Jorja Smith, and Fcukers. Look for tickets here.
The “Together, Together” residency comes in support of Styles’ new album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.
