Harry Styles is reportedly in talks to host a 35-night residency at Las Vegas’ Sphere, according to an exclusive report published by the New York Post. If it comes to fruition, the ‘Watermelon Sugar’ singer would be the most current artist to take the stage at the 20,000-capacity venue, following acts such as U2, the Eagles, and Dead & Company.
The technological marvel was opened in 2023 with a 40-night residency by Irish rock band U2, and so far has catered mainly to an older demographic. The venue will host country musician Kenny Chesney in May and June, followed by The Backstreet Boys until August, who are the last confirmed act to play the Las Vegas arena. Noting the need for more contemporary artists, a source told the New York Post, “For the Sphere to continue to be on everyone’s radar, they need to book some real ‘live’ artists like Styles.”
If the Englishman was to sign on, he would bring a younger, pop-oriented audience to Sin City. His Love on Tour run spanned 171 shows and grossed over $600 million, selling five million tickets. Styles launched the show in 2021, kicking off the worldwide tour in Las Vegas, and held a 15-night residency at Madison Square Garden. This has further fuelled the rumours, as Madison Square Garden’s parent company also owns the Las Vegas Sphere.
I got Backstreet Boys sphere ga floor for $225. Taxes and fees included :))) that’s not always the case.

Comparing ticket prices for previous shows at the venue to a potential Styles run is difficult considering the vastly different audience he would bring. Discussing potential pricing for the Styles show, one X user revealed that they had paid upwards of $200 for a general admission ticket to the upcoming Backstreet Boys shows. Given that the 31-year-old has more than double the Backstreet Boys’ monthly listeners, ticket prices could well be expected to exceed that.
The rumours have sent fans delirious, speculating on the slightest of details, though also weary of getting over-excited given the lack of confirmation. Fans on the r/HarryStyles subreddit considered whether the residency could be part of a wider tour, possibly supporting a new album. His three albums were all released roughly two and a half years apart, and following this pattern, a new album could be announced before any possible shows.

British newspaper The Sun has published contradictory reports in which they claim that sources close to the singer deny the rumours, though no further details were given. Meanwhile, the New York Post approached the venue for comment, though representatives declined, stating they only discuss artists who have been officially announced.
For now, fans of the former One Direction man will be hoping the rumours become something more concrete. If a residency materialises, it will be a unique opportunity for both the artist and the venue.
