Styles will perform new album in full at Co-op Live arena show, with tickets being traded for well above £20 face value
More than 20,000 fans from all over the world flocked towards the Co-op Live arena in Manchester on Friday to watch Harry Styles perform his first concert in two and a half years – some waiting 48 hours for a place down the front.
Styles will perform his new album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally in full, after its release earlier today. Anticipation for the show had been high since tickets went on sale for £20 in early February, which, barring a performance of the album’s lead single Aperture at the Brit awards – which took place at the same arena a week earlier – will be Styles’ first time on stage since closing out a tour in Italy in July 2023. It has been marketed as a homecoming show for the pop star, who was raised outside the city in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire.
Outside the Co-op, a growing line of brightly dressed superfans – or Harries, as they are officially called – waited patiently to be let in, with some, wrapped in foil blankets to stay warm, having already been in line since Wednesday in order to fight their way to the front of the barriers once doors opened.
