"Harry Styles has added two more dates to his residency at Wembley Stadium, setting him up for a record-breaking 12-night run this summer. When the concerts take place, he will overtake Coldplay and Taylor Swift as the artist with the most performances in a single year at the London venue. Coldplay set the overall record with 10 shows last summer, while Swift's eight-night stint on the Eras tour was the highest number by a solo act."
"However, his Wembley concerts come at the expense of shows at any other UK venues, and there has been disquiet among fans over the cost of tickets. Regular tickets for the UK dates of his Together Together tour range between 44.10 and 466.25. "It's so tone deaf," replied another fan. "It really shows that he has lost touch with the real world.""
"Styles' tour also marks a growing trend for celebrities to play multiple dates in a handful of cities, which can add to travel and accommodation costs for fans. The singer's world tour will visit just seven cities - Amsterdam, London, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, New York, Melbourne and Sydney - but he will play extended residencies in each. In New York, he has booked a 30-night stay at Madison Square Garden."
Harry Styles added two more dates to his Wembley residency, creating a 12-night run this summer. He will overtake Coldplay's 10 shows and Taylor Swift's eight-night solo record at the London venue. Across the 12 dates he will play to approximately more than a million fans. The Wembley run replaces shows at other UK venues and has prompted fan disquiet over ticket costs. Regular UK tickets range between 44.10 and 466.25, and top-tier prices are significantly higher than in 2023. Rising tour costs since the Covid-19 pandemic have pushed average ticket prices for top artists above $132. The tour concentrates on seven cities with extended residencies, including a 30-night stay at Madison Square Garden, compared with more than 50 cities on the previous tour.
