Harry Styles launched the first night of his 30-show residency at Madison Square Garden, which comprises all his U.S. tour dates this year as part of his Together, Together tour. The performance featured an updated setlist that began with “Dance No More” from his most recent album, released in March. The track replaced the previously used opener “Are You Listening Yet?”
Styles included two songs receiving their live performance debuts: “The Waiting Game” and “Carolina,” the latter marking its first live performance in years. The concert also featured material from his 2019 and 2022 albums, with the audience reacting most enthusiastically to “Kiwi” from his 2017 debut. Styles shared an anecdote about his early connection to the venue, recalling his first performance there at age 18 with his former group.
Multiple entertainment figures attended the opening night, including actress Zoë Kravitz, who became engaged to Styles in April following eight months of dating. Television personalities Gayle King and Drew Barrymore were also in attendance. Toward the end of the performance, Styles paused to pay tribute to country music figure Dolly Parton, who passed away the previous day. The audience participated by illuminating the venue with phone flashlights while Parton’s 1974 composition played throughout the arena.
The residency marks Styles’ first U.S. tour in three years and follows the release of his first album in four years. The venue previously hosted a 15-show run by Styles in 2022. The Together, Together tour continues through Halloween, featuring a special themed concert event called “Harryween.”
