He’s the name on everybody’s lips right now. Harry Styles<\/a> is finally ready to return and letting fans know ‘we belong together’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The former One Direction<\/a> star has blossomed as a solo artist, leaning into a David Bowie-esque aesthetic now he’s flown the metaphorical boyband nest.<\/p>\n

The entire internet was left in shambles when he seemingly (definitely) teased the release of his fourth studio album.<\/p>\n

If the rumours are to be believed, he’s looking at a Madison Square Garden residency and a headlining slot at Glastonbury 2027<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His first two solo works were well received, charting worldwide and providing plenty of catchy tunes. Then came Harry’s House<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’re now four years on from that release, and in the time away from the studio, Harry has transformed from a regular pop singer into something of a mythic figure.<\/p>\n

At this point, his own reputation could be the very thing that stands in his way of success for this new release.<\/p>\n

Famously cutthroat, the music industry takes no prisoners and with a huge boost in popularity comes an increase in parasocial and demanding fans.<\/p>\n

Where has Harry Styles been?<\/h2>\n

Love On Tour was one of the biggest tours of his career, spanning seven legs over the course of 22 months with 169 shows played from September 4, 2021, to July 22, 2023.<\/p>\n

It supported both Fine Line and Harry’s House, which was released halfway through the tour, as Covid prevented touring in 2020.<\/p>\n

As we’ve seen with other stars like Taylor Swift<\/a>, one tour can change your life, and this certainly gave any of the One Direction hype a run for its money.<\/p>\n

You could argue that Love On Tour was one of the most influential moments for the concert dressing trend, with feather boas and cowboy hats a must.<\/p>\n
