Britain’s pop-rock heartthrob Harry Styles has recently announced the (re-scheduled) next instalment of his ‘Love On Tour’ UK, European and South American tour dates.
Previously planned to go ahead in 2020, the Love On Tour shows had to be re-scheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, much like all the other tours and live events that had to do the same as the live industry witnessed the most devastating effects they’ve had to tackle in recent history. The pandemic saw a huge impact on the live events industry with live music revenues decreasing by 90% and one in three jobs in the sector being lost.
However, we can always count on Harry Styles to spread the joy of our industry rising from the ashes once more. The 32 date tour will see Styles play shows from Glasgow to Mexico starting on the 11th of June and ending on the 10th of December. This tour will also see Styles playing the biggest venues he’s ever played, with the four UK dates on the Tour all being stadium shows consisting of Glasgow’s Ibrox Stadium, Manchester’s Emirates Old Trafford, London’s Wembley Stadium and Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.
I’m so happy to announce that ‘Love On Tour 2022’ is finally coming to the UK, Europe and South America.
Public on sale begins on Friday, Jan 28. Check your venue website for further information about your show, and protocols.
I’m so excited to see you. Thank you, I love you. H pic.twitter.com/M9Wg9AXczA

The tour will be in support of his number one album Fine Line which will presumably include performances of ‘Watermelon Sugar‘, ‘Adore You‘, ‘Fine Line‘ and ‘Lights Up‘ all of which landed in the top 30 of the UK’s official charts over the past year. Harry Styles simply has a bug for dominating the charts and his discography shone light throughout the pandemic; upon hearing the news fans are beside themselves to be hearing these anthemic tracks in the company of thousands of other likeminded listeners with one twitter user writing: “Harry Styles sold out 20,000 tickets to his cancelled 2020 show at London’s O2 Arena. After endless rescheduling he’s finally set a new date for the same gig, at a new venue – Wembley Stadium. Capacity: 90,000 people. What a difference 2 years makes. Damn that man is good.”

News surrounding the tour continues to be filled with exciting news, especially surrounding the support acts who will be joining Styles on the tour. Fellow pop super star acts will be sharing the stage with Wolf Alice, Arlo Parks and Mitski all having been revealed as the opening artists for the anticipated shows.
Styles had a brilliant year in 2021 in terms of his career, winning his first BRIT award for Best British Single courtesy of the summer anthem ‘Watermelon Sugar‘ from his sophomore album, and winning his first Grammy for Best Pop Performance. Since his One Direction days, Harry Styles has truly grown into the preppy, all inclusive mega star we all know and love. His plans for the year ahead certainly seem to be in continual of these previous successes, solidifying himself as one of the most innovative British household names.
Tickets for his upcoming tour will be released on Friday the 28th of January.
The UK dates are as follows:
11/06/2022 – Ibox Stadium – Glasgow
15/06 – Emirates Old Trafford – Manchester
18/06 – Wembley Stadium – London
22/06 – Aviva Stadium – Dublin
