Former One Direction star Harry Styles has announced listening parties for his new album, with events to be held internationally across 40 cities, including London and Dublin.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old singer will release his fourth record Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally on March 6.<\/p>\n
In a post on Instagram on Thursday, Styles revealed listening parties will start from February 18, more than two weeks before the release date.<\/p>\n
Styles posted a photo of himself with his eyes closed, wearing a black jumper with a smiley face cut out of the fabric, and on the image text read: \u201cHear the album in full.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the caption, he wrote: \u201cWe wanna dance with all our friends. KATTDO listening parties, February 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
London, Dublin, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Sydney and Paris are among the host cities.<\/p>\n
Fans can sign up through a link on Styles\u2019 website, which takes them to a page where they have to answer the question: \u201cWhat do you think listening to the album will feel like?\u201d<\/p>\n
The website says that invitations and further information will be sent on February 16.<\/p>\n
US singers Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter have hosted listening parties and played their albums exclusively for fans in-person ahead of their official releases.<\/p>\n
Last month, Styles sent fans into a frenzy when Aperture, his first single in almost four years, rocketed to number one on the UK Official Singles Chart.<\/p>\n
The Grammy-winner also announced his global tour, with dates in London, Amsterdam, New York, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, Melbourne and Sydney from May.<\/p>\n
Styles, who has kept a low profile since his Love On Tour run of gigs came to an end in 2023, will play Manchester\u2019s Co-Op Live venue for the Brit Awards on February 28th.<\/p>\n
He will return to the venue for an exclusive one-off performance on March 6.<\/p>\n
Styles launched his solo career after he and fellow One Direction members Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson went on hiatus in 2016, almost a year after Zayn Malik left the group.<\/p>\n
The Worcestershire-born star released his self-titled debut solo album in 2017, followed by Fine Line in 2019, and Harry\u2019s House (2022) \u2013 with the first and third releases reaching number one in the UK charts.<\/p>\n
Styles has had three UK number one singles as a solo artist with As It Was, Sign Of The Times and Aperture, and won multiple Grammy and Brit awards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former One Direction star Harry Styles has announced listening parties for his new album, with events to be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,278],"class_list":{"0":"post-295408","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
