From the moment the curtain dropped on Harry Styles’ 169-date, Billboard Boxscore-smashing Love On Tour in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in July 2023, speculation surrounding the British singer’s next move mounted. Would he truly step away at the peak of his powers? And, perhaps more dauntingly, how could he eclipse one of the defining touring achievements of the decade?

As Love On Tour expanded from North American arenas to stadiums across the U.K. and Europe, it capped the former One Direction member’s most commercially and culturally dominant era yet. Over the course of a near decade-long solo career, the success of his 2022 album Harry’s House, which scooped the Grammy for album of the year, was the exception, not the rule: Unlike earlier hits such as 2019’s “Watermelon Sugar,” which steadily built momentum throughout lockdown, lead single “As It Was” arrived as an instant global phenomenon.

What changed was that Styles evolved from a charismatic, if tentative, figure transitioning out of a boyband past into a supremely assured live performer, and Love On Tour became the stage for that transformation. By the end of the two-year trek, that reputation had become central to his identity as an artist: loose, spontaneous and visibly confident in holding an audience, adding a slinky, flirtatious edge to songs like “Adore You” or “Daylight” and leveraging them to full crowd-pleasing potential. 

Three years on, and Styles stands at the cusp of the residency-style Together, Together Tour, which opened up at Amsterdam’s 56,000-capacity Johan Cruijff Arena on Saturday (May 16). In support of his Kiss All the Time. Disco Occasionally LP — Styles’ fourth consecutive chart-topping album on the Billboard 200 — the show is set to hit seven key global markets throughout 2026, including a mammoth 30-night run at New York City’s Madison Square Garden this fall.

Echoing the pared-back approach of March’s One Night Only Manchester performance, with a mid-show ‘Dance’ section staged in the round with minimal, pulsing production reminiscent of a Fred Again..–style setup, the new show translated that intimacy into a full-scale stadium experience. A richly-textured string section gave the more subdued moments of the setlist (“Matilda,” “Sign of the Times”) a warmer elasticity, and in comparison with the adrenalised rush of Love On Tour, much of the set was more restrained in its pacing and overall feel; not diminished as such, but matured.

As the lights dimmed, Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” — the key inspiration for Kiss All the Time…‘s “Carla’s Song” — played while swirling, multicolored visuals took full effect across the giant video grid. Styles appeared seconds later, radiant in a red silk satin bomber — and it was on from there, a fervent, dizzying two-hour trip through his musical canon. 

Here are the best moments from the night.

Sequins and sheer ruffled silks, be gone! Harry Styles brought the heady, ambient world of 2026 LP Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally to Amsterdam’s Johan Cruyff Arena on Saturday (May 16), heralding the next chapter in his live career with a transportive new show.

For Love On Tour, which ran between 2021 and 2023, both Styles and his audience embraced flamboyant fun, wearing everything from rhinestone cowboy hats, pink corsets and feather boas to garishly bright vests and all that’s in between. This time around? If opening night was anything to go by, the mood is business casual with a scrim of mischief: oversized ties, velvet flared blazers, short shorts and button-down shirts inspired by the mood and aesthetic of the Grammy-winning singer’s “Aperture” music video. Think: office siren, Styles’ version.

Throughout a 21-song set, Styles took 56,000 fans from fantasy to reality and back again in a feverish haze of new songs and fan favorites, including reworked versions of “Matilda,” a mashup of “Carla’s Song” and “Satellite,” and “Treat People With Kindness.”

Ahead of the Together, Together tour’s launch, fans (including Billboard’s editorial team) were busy speculating about what the setlist would look like. How many of Styles’ biggest smashes would make the cut? Would he dig into deep cuts, the kind he’s occasionally revived at special live shows — like 2017’s “From the Dining Table” at One Night Only Manchester earlier this year? And which, if any, One Direction goldies would make an appearance?

With the tour now officially underway, Styles will remain in Amsterdam for a further 10 shows over the coming weeks. Then, in June, he’ll head to London for a record-breaking 12 nights at Wembley Stadium, before carrying on to residencies in São Paulo, Mexico City, New York City, Sydney and Melbourne throughout the year. The Johan Cruyff Arena has even installed a permanent pillar mural to celebrate the significance of serving as Styles’ first ‘home base’ for the tour.

As with Styles’ previous tours, there’s potential that the setlist may evolve from night to night, but below, check out all the songs — and which albums they belong to — from the Together, Together Tour’s opening night.

Drake returns by releasing three new albums ‘Iceman,’ ‘Maid of Honour’ and ‘Habibti.’ There are references to BTS and shots at DJ Khaled and LeBron James, and he reignites his feud with Kendrick Lamar through a new collaboration with Future on “Run to Atlanta” from ‘Iceman’ and more!

Drake name-drops BTS, reignites the Kendrick beef, releases three albums, and the White House got involved. Buckle up, and let’s chat Drake. So Drake just released a lot of new music, and besides name-dropping global superstars BTS on the track “Make Them Cry” that has left the fellas and their fans maybe a little confused, he also decided to bring 2024 back and his beef with K-Dot. He dropped a track that features Future, a frequent Drake collaborator who was also on a Kendrick diss track, and of course the title “Ran to Atlanta” references the famous “Not Like Us” lyric. These are tracks from the album ‘Iceman’ but he also dropped two other projects, ‘Habibti’ and ‘Maid of Honour.’ Drizzy has the opportunity to occupy the top three of the Billboard 200 next week, which has only been done in the past by Michael Jackson. Also randomly chiming in is the White House with this MAGA edit of the ‘Iceman’ cover. Any thoughts on this, Drizzy? And what’s everybody’s thoughts on the album? Let us know in the comments.
