Harry Styles will host a series of album listening parties ahead of the release of his forthcoming studio record, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, due March 6.
The singer revealed the plans on Instagram with the caption, “We wanna dance with all our friends,” confirming that events will take place across 40 cities beginning February 18. Specific dates and venue details have not yet been announced.
The listening parties follow a smaller-scale preview event held last month at Rough Trade in New York City, where fans gathered for hours to hear Styles’ new single, “Aperture.” The turnout underscored sustained enthusiasm for the artist’s evolving sound, which has increasingly leaned into glam-pop textures and more experimental arrangements. Attendees at the New York event described the atmosphere as celebratory, with many noting Styles’ continued stylistic growth since his earlier releases.
Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally marks Styles’ first full-length project since 2022’s Harry’s House, which debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200 and earned him the Grammy for Album of the Year. The four-year gap between albums represents the longest pause in his solo career to date, following a period dominated by extensive touring and film appearances.
To support the new release, Styles will embark on a global tour beginning May 16 in Amsterdam. The itinerary includes a 30-night residency at Madison Square Garden in New York, a booking that drew record-breaking demand and prompted the addition of several European dates. The upcoming run follows 2023’s Love on Tour, a 169-date trek that spanned multiple continents and concluded with Styles calling it “the greatest experience of my entire life.”
The scale of the new tour suggests confidence in both the album and his enduring draw as a live performer. Over the past decade, Styles has transitioned from boy-band celebrity to one of pop’s most bankable touring artists, blending theatrical staging with a carefully curated catalog that bridges classic rock influences and contemporary pop.
The listening parties appear designed to maintain that sense of communal experience. While streaming platforms remain central to modern album rollouts, advance events like these emphasize in-person engagement, a strategy increasingly favored by artists seeking to generate word-of-mouth momentum before release week.
Styles also continues to maintain visibility within the broader industry circuit. He appeared at this year’s Grammy Awards, where he presented Album of the Year to Bad Bunny. Later this month, he is scheduled to perform at the Brit Awards in Manchester, marking what is expected to be his first live presentation of material from the new album.
