Harry Styles had one thing on his mind as he kicked off his Wembley residency of the Together Together tour – community.
The singer has never had trouble bringing people together, but standing in that stadium alongside 89,999 other people, I realised just what Harry has achieved in the last 16 years that goes beyond the many awards and accolades.
The Together Together tour celebrates the release of his latest album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, with Wembley the second stop after a successful run at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam.
His Wembley residency marks the longest single-artist run in the stadium’s history, surpassing the likes of Coldplay and Taylor Swift – but if the pressure was on for Harry, it certainly wasn’t felt by the crowd.
The fans erupted with deafening screams as Harry waltzed onto the stage with Are You Listening Yet? before segueing into some of his older hits including Golden, Adore You and Watermelon Sugar.
But the most emotional moment of the night was when he paid tribute to his One Direction roots. A self-confessed One Direction fan ever since their time on The X Factor, I have followed the band since the very start and felt incredibly nostalgic standing in Wembley Stadium – a place where I’d seen them a number of times – in 2026 and reflecting on their group and solo success.
Holding the attention of 90,000 people for almost two hours is no easy feat, but Harry managed it effortlessly, the audience hanging on his every word.
Emotional tributes followed to his mum Anne, his sister Gemma and his One Direction bandmates, but his biggest – and most important – thank you was to the fans packed into the stadium.
Strangers merely half an hour ago, fans danced around the standing areas together, singing their hearts out, whilst Harry showed off his skills with a piano version of Coming Up Roses.
As darkness began to fall and the lights went up, Harry moved into the more energetic parts of his set, reeling off back to back high energy renditions of American Girls, Ready, Steady, Go! and Dance No More. His energy was matched by the audience, who impressively even managed to drown out Harry’s vocals with their own.
Fireworks exploded above Wembley as Harry belted out Sign Of The Times – his debut solo single – and everyone had a sense of a full circle moment.
From the nearby Wembley Arena, where he was placed in a boyband that would become one of the biggest in the world, to bringing people together in a nearly two hour solo set in London’s iconic Wembley Stadium, Harry proved that long after the outro of As It Was fades away, it’s the people beside us who make the music matter.
