Harry Styles returns next month with his second solo album, and now the pop star has announced an arena tour to match.
“Love On Tour” will take Styles and his new album Fine Line, which arrives Dec. 13, on the road from April to October 2020.
The trek begins with a European leg in April, kicking off at Arena Birmingham in Birmingham, U.K., on April 15. The tour will pass through arenas in several European countries, including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, before wrapping at Moscow’s Megasport Sport Palace on June 3. King Princess will open Styles’ European tour dates.
After three weeks off, “Love On Tour” arrives in North America, debuting at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center on June 26. The 34-date tour will stop in most major markets, with two-night stands planned at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena (July 3-4), New York’s Madison Square Garden (July 7-8) and Los Angeles’ Forum (Sept. 2-3). Styles already has a one-off concert scheduled at The Forum on his album release date next month. Indie-rocker Jenny Lewis will open for Styles in the U.S. and Canada.
– “Love On Tour”
Harry Styles announced his global “Love On Tour” on Wednesday.
After another three-week break, Styles will play three Mexican shows, at Monterrey’s Arena Monterrey (Sept. 29), Guadalajara’s Arena VFG (Oct. 1) and Mexico City’s Foro Sol (Oct. 3). Reggae artist Koffee will open those dates.
Styles’ 2018 tour ranked No. 27 on Pollstar‘s Year End Top 100 Worldwide Tours chart with a gross of $59.6 million. The trek was highlighted by two-night sold-out stands at Madison Square Garden and The Forum, grossing $2.8 million and $2.7 million at the venues, respectively, according to Pollstar Boxoffice reports.
“In a post-teen idol world, Styles seems intent on honoring his fans, but also pushing his music into more adult realms,” Pollstar wrote in a review of the star’s June 2018 stop at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena which, like the rest of his 2018 North American tour, was opened by Kacey Musgraves.
Though Styles began his solo career with the release of his self-titled debut in 2017, he’s no stranger to packed arenas. As part of One Direction, Styles appeared on Pollstar‘s Year End Top 100 Worldwide Tours chart ever year from 2012 to 2015, a period where One Direction grossed $624.6 million. That included a No. 1 finish in 2014, when the group grossed $282.2 million – nearly $100 million more than second-place finisher Justin Timberlake.
Tickets for the North American leg of Styles’ “Love On Tour” go on sale to the general public on Nov. 22, after a series of presales. One dollar from every ticket purchased will be directed to local charities.
Before any of that, however, Styles will pull double duty as host and musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend.
