According to Waterloo, about 150 fans will be able to listen one at a time using a \u201cpersonal listening device\u201d inside the store \u2014 an experience the record shop’s co-owner Caren Kelleher described as \u201ctruly rare and intentionally different from the streaming-first world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Austin is the only U.S. city selected for the early listening event. Other participating record stores are located in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Mexico City, New York, Paris, S\u00e3o Paulo, Sydney, Tokyo and Toronto.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The line opens at 11 a.m., with listening sessions scheduled from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., when the store closes. The event is all ages, though minors must be accompanied by a guardian, Waterloo said on social media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Waterloo also teased giveaways of “exclusive items” for those in attendance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As of 10:45 a.m. Wednesday, roughly nine people were already\u00a0waiting in line at Waterloo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Styles announced Tuesday that his new single, \u201cAperture,\u201d will be released at midnight UK time on Friday, which is 6 p.m. CST Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
