Harry Styles is set to break the single-year record for Wembley Stadium performances with his upcoming Together, Together Tour, which is expected to bring 12 shows to the 90,000-capacity venue.
Wembley Stadium itself shed light on the record-breaking run today, less than one week after Styles and Live Nation teed up six June 2026 concerts for the stadium. Subsequently, “incredible demand” prompted the promoter and the Redditch-born artist to double the number of dates.
Now, the dozen-show series is scheduled to kick off on Friday, June 12th, and wrap on Saturday, July 4th. After that, Styles will hold Wembley’s mentioned single-year performance record (topping Coldplay’s 10) and the record for the most solo-artist concerts during a single tour leg (beating Taylor Swift’s eight).
(Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour remains the most-attended tour of all time, however. And with 225 dates in the books, Music of the Spheres is reportedly gearing up to resume in 2027.)
Post-Wembley, Styles has scheduled four concerts in São Paulo and five shows in Mexico City before a 30-date Madison Square Garden residency.
(Styles, some will recall, is also a stakeholder in Manchester’s Co-op Live; though his residency isn’t routed through the venue, the BRIT Awards, having relocated from London for the first time in nearly half a century, will air from the Co-op next month. During the telecast, Styles will deliver “his live TV performance debut of music from his new album,” organizers announced today.)
In other words, then, records are continuing to pour in for touring megastars, and life is certainly good for the likes of BTS, Rüfüs Du Sol, The Weeknd, Shakira, and Radiohead. Additionally, it was only last month that Oasis capped off a blockbuster reunion tour with some more merch, and Bruno Mars earlier in January broke Live Nation’s single-day North American ticket-sales record.
There’s plenty to unpack there from the consumer-mindset perspective. Furthermore, it’s a different story for many other artists, smaller venues, and festivals; more than a few of the latter have called it quits in recent years.
And on the label side, Universal Music and Warner Music (the latter having reported a material Q3 2025 merch-revenue spike) are looking to cash in with physical stores.
Sony Music’s Ceremony of Roses, for its part, last year went ahead and sued individuals for allegedly peddling unauthorized merch outside Benson Boone concerts. In late November, after seizing piles of allegedly counterfeit goods under a court order, Ceremony of Roses voluntarily dropped the case.
