Recently, when Harry Styles<\/a> was asked what he would consider his most iconic fashion moment, the answer was definitive: a red loveheart jumpsuit paired with a plain white tee, worn at Wembley Stadium, London in June 2022. It was a surprisingly functional \u2018fit for a man otherwise known for flamboyant looks, but his answer revealed much more than just what he likes to pick off the rails.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n He continued<\/a>, \u201cDuring that show, that fear left my body and there was a sense of calm,\u201d and that when the heavens opened during \u201cSign of the Times,\u201d the opening song of the show\u2019s encore, \u201cI remember having a massive smile on my face. I thought, \u2018How can I ask for any more joy?\u2019 I felt so full in that moment. I felt like I was flying.\u201d<\/p>\n That show was his first-ever headline performance as a solo artist in an outdoor stadium, a moment that proved to Styles, more than anyone else, that he was more than capable of hitting the biggest of leagues and staying there. He was no longer fighting for credibility in a post-boyband solo career, but now out on his own and dominating the most historic of stages.<\/p>\n It\u2019ll come as no surprise, then, that Wembley Stadium was one of the few stadiums to be chosen as a stop on his Together, Together residency run. Following its kick-off<\/a> in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on May 16, it arrives not just as a homecoming for Styles but a coronation: his 12-run show will break Wembley Stadium\u2019s all-time record for most shows in a calendar year (Coldplay<\/a> previously held the record with 10 shows in 2025).<\/p>\n It\u2019s one thing to play Wembley Stadium as a headline act \u2013 a career-high for every artist \u2013 but tougher still to create an authentic, lasting connection with the stadium that extends beyond the show. The defining images of Queen<\/a>\u2019s career came during their headline gigs in 1986, while Muse<\/a>\u2019s H.A.A.R.P show in 2007 are certainly in the hall of fame. Oasis<\/a> played some of the best shows<\/a> of their Live \u201825 reunion tour at the stadium just last summer. It proves rarer than one would imagine.<\/p>\n But Styles is fast becoming Wembley\u2019s most bankable and beloved star. He played three shows with One Direction in 2014, and during the Love On Tour run from 2021-2023, Styles played the Stadium a further six times. The latter provided Harries (and the casuals that were swept up in the madness) a moment of post-pandemic release. There were cowboy hats, pink feather boas and reconnection. Missing out on tickets felt like being robbed of some kind of fundamental human emotion: pure joy.<\/p>\n Together, Together is a different proposition, however. Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally is knottier by design, favouring moodier electronics and oblique lyrics as opposed to the pop-powered Harry\u2019s House (2022) soft-rock stylings of Fine Line (2019). The tour\u2019s opening run in Amsterdam featured rave-influenced production and nods to Underworld and Orchestral Maneuvers in The Dark. Quite the switch-up.<\/p>\n As he returns home to his stomping ground, these were the best moments from the residency\u2019s opening night.<\/p>\n The Together, Together run kicked off in Amsterdam on somewhat uncertain ground: What would he play? What should we wear? On the latter, fans are split down the middle, with some favouring sequin dresses that shimmered in the setting sun on Wembley\u2019s southern terrace, and the rest opting for the playful business-casual attire of open-collared shirts and oversized ties.<\/p>\n The show\u2019s grid-like production \u2013 subtly tweaked after fan feedback<\/a> \u2013 provides excellent sightlines from the seats and a genuinely intimate and thrilling experience for those lucky enough to land in the four sections closest to the stage. Together, Together is fast solidifying its rhythm and identity.<\/p>\n Though he\u2019s lived in London for 16 years, coming back to Wembley still gives him goosebumps. He reminds the crowd that barely a hundred meters away from the Stadium, his dreams began at the nearby Wembley Arena for auditions for The X Factor in 2010 where he became a member of One Direction. How far he\u2019s come and traveled, he\u2019s mused, and ended back at the same place. This time with a few more fans.<\/p>\n The show\u2019s second act leans more heavily in the sonics of Kiss All The Time\u2026, favoring the LP\u2019s ravier stylings instead of brash pop maximalism of his earlier work. It kicks off with unreleased song \u201cItalian Girls,\u201d the performance\u2019s most intense and dance-heavy segment, accompanied by technicolor visuals and a driving beat. It segues nicely into \u201cAmerican Girls,\u201d an ambitious song that sounds perfectly home in the biggest of stadiums.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a fascinating battle at the heart of Styles\u2019 latest album campaign: how to create intimacy and anonymity in your music when you\u2019re one of music\u2019s biggest and most recognisable stars?<\/p>\n He does so smartly in that second act, moving his band to the centre of the stadium and having them play in a circle, facing each other rather than its audience. \u201cReady, Steady, Go,\u201d \u201cPop\u201d and \u201cCarla\u2019s Song,\u201d which Styles tells the crowd really unlocked his new album, sound beefier than on record and benefit from heavier arrangements. The latter came as a result of \u201csaying yes\u201d to his friends and finding inspiration and joy on the dancefloor, a feeling that has been undeniably received by tonight\u2019s audience.<\/p>\n On Friday morning, news broke that David Hockney, a giant of post-war British visual art, had passed away, aged 88. Three years ago, Styles sat<\/a> for a Hockney portrait which captured the latter\u2019s formidable style even into his latter period. Prior to \u201cAperture,\u201d Styles returned the favour and beamed one of Hockney\u2019s quotes on the two large screens: \u201cWhat an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn\u2019t be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.\u201d<\/p>\n The Together, Together run, which Styles reminds the crowd often, is about the fan\u2019s bond between him and them, but mainly with each other. \u201cIt\u2019s so much bigger than you,\u201d he reminds them in one of his many soliloquies. That kind of unfiltered, radical expression, you sense, is exactly what Hockney meant.<\/p>\n While not an \u201cAs It Was\u201d-sized commercial smash (yet), \u201cAperture\u201d is one of Styles\u2019 most complete songs \u2013 and goes off like a rocket in a live setting. As he dashes between runways and whips up the crowd, the Kiss All The Time\u2026\u2019s opening track evokes a rush of euphoria and will be a setlist staple for years to come. Its repeated refrain (\u201cWe belong together\u201d) is chanted by fans like a mantra during the set and on the walk back down Wembley Way to the tube.<\/p>\n Throughout the Amsterdam run, the encore\u2019s opening track featured a rotation of fan favorites and deep cuts. \u201cLittle Freaks\u201d from Harry\u2019s House gets the honor tonight for its tour debut which, if you\u2019re anything of a casual, might surprise you the levels screams and mania this decision brings. It goes down just as well as any of the big hitters, despite its subtlety.
