Harry Styles
Wembley Stadium, London
Monday, June 29th
Among the final words Wembley Stadium hears before Harry Styles appears is RAYE’s simple question: “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” Some 90,000 fans have turned up from all over the world to see the man they’ve been smitten with on his Together, Together tour, whether it’s been a five-week dalliance or a 16-year commitment. Then, almost ceremonially, “Bridge Over Troubled Water” plays, ushering in Styles’ new musical era. He’s theirs. He’s “therapy,” as one sign reads. He’s still the kid who travelled to London for The X Factor.
“Good evening Wembley, my name is Harry,” he says. The poster boy for someone you’d happily introduce to your parents. Later, he pays tribute to his mum and sister, who drove him to his X Factor audition just outside Wembley – which eventually put him “in a band that changed my life”. They were there on the opening night of his record-breaking, 12-show London residency, bringing the story full circle.

He opens with the energetic “Are You Listening Yet?,” a fitting nod to his emotional journey and a gentle invitation to go bananas. Though the screams – and more than a few ripe-yellow costumes – suggest this isn’t the crowd’s first rodeo. Fans are locked in, and so is Styles. “If you need anything at any point, please let me know, we can stop at any time.” It’s a promise he proved genuine last week, when he paused the show to help a distraught fan find her sister.
An acoustic “Golden” sent shockwaves through the world’s most famous stadium as “Harries” bounced up and down to its euphoric “da-da-da-da.” Before long, the sing-alongs continued with “Adore You,” Styles’ first solo number one; “Watermelon Sugar,” his pleasurable summer anthem (make what you will of it); and “Music for a Sushi Restaurant,” from his Grammy-winning third record.
@stacysaturday What a lovely Monday💕 Harry Styles London, 29/06/2026 #harrystyles #harrystylesvideos #kissallthetimediscooccasionally
There’s no performance to the performance. Styles has no discernible ego when it comes to his greatest hits, delivering them with equal parts gusto and nostalgia, before gliding into Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally.

The stretched-out Wembley layout also suits the vibe – and Styles’ ridiculous endurance. His sub-three-hour marathon fitness is on full display, made all the more impressive after he was spotted jogging to the stadium just days earlier. Fans grooved in dance pits while Styles shimmied across the platforms to a new psychedelic, synth palette. The set nodded to some of his musical touchstones: Underworld’s “Born Slippy” was woven into “Taste Back,” while Talking Heads’ “This Must Be the Place” and Paul Simon’s “You Can Call me Al” were seamlessly integrated into “Treat People with Kindness.”
Pyrotechnics were used sparingly, save for “Sign of the Times,” which closed with fireworks reminiscent of 2022’s Love on Tour at Wembley. In place of spectacle, there was a laser focus on Styles’ every move, wink and quip. “It’s a family show, you know,” he says to a pocket of relentlessly squealing fans. “Or is it?” One minute he’s checking in on fans, the next, he’s declaring “DJ’s don’t dance anymore.”
@coralsconcerts Can’t believe he sang Little Freak. This song means so so much to me. Thank you Harry🤍 #viral #harrystyles #littlefreak #fyp #foryoupage
Styles has a universal appeal: approachable yet extraordinary, often reduced to a pop heartthrob “for the girls,” but really for anyone who wants to be part of something bigger than Styles’ wardrobe (though this time, there are notably fewer outfit changes).
Next to me, a couple in their fifties shared that they joined the online queue the day Styles’ tickets went on sale because they “just wanted to know what all the fuss was about.” They were equally quick to pull up the setlist saved to their phone and volunteer their favourite song: “We love ‘As It Was.’”
In a world of optimisation, rage bait, slop, and political and social madness, for two hours, we lived in Styles’ halcyon days. You felt part of something. Something beyond today’s compounding woes. A quote from the late David Hockney – who painted Styles in 2022 and died on the opening day of his London tour – reminded us that art brings people together. The collective croons of “we belong together” from “Aperture” affirmed we never need an excuse to dance. And in the glint of Styles’ eyes, the cheeky smirk on his face, it felt as though, for a moment, we were all his – and he was all ours.
