‘We Wanna Dance With All Our Friends’: Harry Styles Sets 40-City Listening Parties for New Album
Harry Styles is inviting fans to celebrate together ahead of his next era, unveiling a series of listening parties across 40 cities that begin Feb. 18 (ET). The events lead into his new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, due March 6 (ET).
Listening parties begin Feb. 18
Styles shared the news on social media with the caption, “We wanna dance with all our friends,” signaling a communal kickoff to his latest chapter. The run is set to start on Feb. 18 (ET) and expand across 40 cities. Specific dates, venues, and access details have not yet been released, but the rollout underscores a fan-first approach that has defined his recent projects.
These gatherings are positioned as a celebratory prelude to the album’s arrival, offering fans a chance to experience new music together before the full release. With anticipation building, the events are expected to spur meetups and online chatter as cities are confirmed.
New album lands March 6
Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally marks Styles’ first full-length in four years, following 2022’s Harry’s House. The title hints at a blend of romance and dance-floor sheen, with a wink to genre playfulness. While full track details remain under wraps, the rollout has already teased a fresh sonic palette.
The timeline sets a brisk pace: listening parties starting Feb. 18 (ET), album arrival on March 6 (ET), and a packed slate of live dates shortly after. It’s a coordinated push that suggests confidence in the material and an eagerness to reconnect with fans in person.
Buzz built by New York preview
Momentum has been building since a special listening event at a New York record shop last month, where hundreds queued for hours to hear the new single “Aperture.” One fan in line captured the mood: “I’ve always admired him because he reminds me a lot of David Bowie. He’s just trying new stuff. It’s insane to watch him grow like that. I love it. We’re here for that.”
The turnout and early reactions from that preview laid the groundwork for a wider series, showing strong appetite for communal first listens and signaling that the forthcoming album could stretch into adventurous territory.
Massive tour, major residencies
Styles will support the album with a global tour built around extended stays in key cities. The trek starts May 16 (ET) in Amsterdam and includes a marathon 30-date residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Demand has already pushed additional European dates onto the calendar.
This slate follows his previous run, which spanned 169 shows and concluded with a note of gratitude to fans for making it “the greatest experience” of his life. The new structure—fewer travel days, longer city stops—suggests a refined production that can evolve night to night while keeping the energy of a long-haul tour.
From awards stage to first Disco-era performance
Styles recently stepped onto the awards circuit, appearing at the Grammys to hand off Album of the Year to Bad Bunny for Debi Tirar Mas Fotos. Later this month, he will take the stage again: on Feb. 28 (ET), he’s set to perform at the Brit Awards in Manchester, which is billed as the first public performance of the Disco-era material.
That early live debut, positioned between the listening parties and the album’s arrival, gives fans a first look at how the new songs translate onstage—and tees up the residencies that follow in the spring and summer.
What’s next for fans
With dates and venues for the listening parties still to be revealed, fans will be watching for city-by-city details and instructions on how to attend. The cadence so far points to more rapid-fire updates as Feb. 18 (ET) approaches. For now, the message is simple: the dance floor is opening soon, and the invitation stands—bring friends.
