AMSTERDAM \u2013 Early in his two-hour show, Harry Styles<\/a> challenged the nearly 50,000 fans in front of him to \u201chave as much fun as I\u2019m going to have.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t exaggerating about his level of effusiveness.<\/p>\n

Skipping down the trio of ramps and bridges that extended across almost the entire floor of Johan Cruijff ArenA, Styles\u2019 glee couldn’t be contained as he bopped through \u201cAre You Listening Yet?,\u201d \u201cGolden\u201d and \u201cWatermelon Sugar<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been three years since his extensive Love on Tour wrapped, and Styles has crafted an immense stage production to hit only seven cities<\/a> \u2013 and exclusively Madison Square Garden in New York for 30 shows starting in August \u2013 as he promotes his fourth solo album, the rave-a-liscious \u201cKiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Harry<\/p>\n

Harry Styles romped through 21 songs on his two-hour Together, Together tour, offering songs from all four of his solo albums.<\/p>\n

Throughout the two-hour, 21-song set, which his camp invited a small group of journalists including USA TODAY to, Styles introduced a swooshy synth instrumental called \u201cItalian Girls,\u201d embodying the Together, Together ethos that names this tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe open to people \u2013 your friends, strangers, people close to you or far away,\u201d Styles said. \u201cPeople who deserve our love and respect \u2026 live and exist with your integrity and respect for one another.\u201d<\/p>\n

Styles, 32, is indeed a sincere and loveable fellow, whether stopping the show to sing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d to a fan, shouting out to his mom in the crowd or offering genuine appreciation for the crew and his stellar band.<\/p>\n

\"Harry<\/p>\n

Harry Styles kicked off his massive Together Together tour in Amsterdam on May 16, 2026.<\/p>\n

The massive stage comprised three ramps extending the length of a football field that were frequently alight in a Candyland of colors and two oversized video screens flanking a metallic structure that looked like an inverted ski jump. The visual allure was complemented by Styles\u2019 bringing the sometimes-redundant-sounding songs on \u201cKATTDO\u201d to life, especially during a dance breakdown with his band surrounding him during \u201cReady, Steady Go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The adoring fans who crammed the floor, some adorned with pink hair or dress shirts and ties in tribute to Styles\u2019 onstage attire, looked like a sea of Whac-a-Moles as they bounced through new songs (\u201cPop\u201d) and album favorites (\u201cMusic for a Sushi Restaurant\u201d) alike.<\/p>\n

But Styles dazzled<\/a> as an effusive ringleader, sashaying with his ballroom-meets-Bee Gees dance moves, offering clasped hands in thanks toward the audience and, for his final victory lap, traversing every ramp during \u201cAs It Was<\/a>,\u201d arms outstretched as if bursting through the finish line of one of his marathons.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we live in a time where it doesn\u2019t seem very cool (to reach out to someone),\u201d Styles said in one of many moments of appreciation. \u201cAnd I think trying is the coolest thing you can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Point taken, and hopefully, absorbed.<\/p>\n
