Three years after Love On Tour, Harry Styles returns with something bigger and better. Together Together isn’t just a concert - it's part disco, part show and part celebration, turning stadiums into a dancefloor. Finding fault with the show is surprisingly difficult, especially when every productive choice feels carefully considered. Playing songs from his new album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, as well as older songs, fans are transported back ‘home’. 

Starting his residency tour in Amsterdam, fans were left stunned after seeing the stage. The stage is the most ambitious stadium productions Styles has ever toured, with fans describing the stage as a ‘race track’. The production feels cinematic, with bridges in the stage, LED displays in the stage and perfectly timed strobe lights transforming the stadium from one song to the next. During songs like ‘Season 2 Weight Loss’ and ‘As It Was’, lasers shoot across the stage with tense strobe lights, electrifying the stadium, transforming the show into a late-night disco, highlighting that Styles has gone above and beyond with this tour. 

The production isn't the only strength, he also has unforgettable openers. With icons such as Robyn and Shania Twain and later on in the tour Fcukers, Jorja Smith, Jamie XX, Fousheé and Skye Newman ensuring the energy is high before Styles takes the stage. 

A memorable return feels like the only way to describe the Together Together Tour, with the tour including a collection of fan favourite moments. Some of these fan favourite moments involve Styles resorting to becoming an athlete at the end of the show, and sprinting around the entirety of the stage, and some causing fans to sky-rocket with adrenaline with Styles now having a rotating, surprise song segment. The popstar turns the stage into a DJ set - Styles uses an insane mic switch, creating a walkie-talkie effect, and chanting ‘Put a bell on your bicycle’, which has become a particular key favourite moment of the tour.

Styles also shows appreciation for his band, creating a song for the iconic Sarah Jones, causing fans to erupt with excitement and chant her name around the stadium. With this tour also including a variety of mashups, such as ‘Born Slippy’ mashed with ‘Taste Back’, this turns the stadium from a calm, music loving environment into a full on rave. 

This tour has led to fans feeling more connected with the popstar than they ever have before. With Styles reading out fans signs, having hilariously bizarre conversations, involving topics such as squirrels and roast dinners, these interactions slow the pace of the show, allowing audiences to feel seen. The balance between spectacle and intimacy has always set Styles apart.

Styles is taking his fan interactions to the roof, as he gets his fans hyped for the show with the ‘respect your mother’ and ‘together together’ cam’s. Placing randomised fans on the screen, seeing them get shocked to see them on screen and wave like there’s no tomorrow. With the respect your mother cam drawing attention to those older than his typical fan base, fans hearts melt, seeing women with their daughters wave at the camera, sharing an incredible mother-daughter moment. This moment reinforces the affectionate energy Styles encourages throughout the show. 

Throughout the ‘Kissco’ era, Styles has taken a ‘business attire’ with his outfits. Entering the stage with a range of suits, ties and shirts, fans have now also taken a ‘business attire’ approach, replacing the iconic feather boas with decorative ties. Despite taking a more basic approach to his stage outfits in comparison to Love On Tour, fans are still able to make fun predictions of his outfits with colours, a debate of shorts or trousers and a debate of a jumper or shirt and tie. Styles adopts a more formal aesthetic to the stage for this era, however, still maintaining a unique twist. 

Together Together proves Harry Styles isn’t just interested in putting on a show - he’s interested in building a sense of community, a connection, a bond with the crowd. The show feels less like a concert and more like a loving celebration shared between the artist and audience. If this is the new standard for this era, then stadium pop has a new benchmark.
