Harry Styles – Live on Tour[1] was the first worldwide concert tour by English singer Harry Styles in support of his self-titled debut album (2017). The tour was announced on 28 April 2017 and additional dates were added on 8 June. The two-part tour began with intimate venues in 2017 and continued on to arenas in 2018. The tour started on 19 September 2017 in San Francisco and concluded on 14 July 2018 in Inglewood, comprising 89 shows.

Background

In June 2016, it was confirmed that Styles had signed a recording contract as a solo artist with Columbia Records.[2] In April 2017, Styles released his debut single, "Sign of the Times",[3] and his self-titled debut album on 12 May 2017.[4]

The tour dates for 2017 were announced on 28 April 2017 via Twitter and his website.

Critical reception

Styles performing in Nashville, Tennessee in June 2018.

Eve Barlow of Billboard stated, "He was made to be the frontman. [...] His Jagger-meets-David Cassidy persona shines out on the swaggering "Only Angel" and "Woman".[16] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone marvelled at Styles' "ugly enthusiasm", writing, "A year into his solo rebirth, he’s earned his stripes as a master of every rock & roll move, wearing the tradition like it’s a coat he had tailored just for him." Sheffield continued that Styles is "the ultimate fusion of Mick Jagger’s yin and Paul McCartney’s yang [...] to the point where encountering them at peak strength in the same star can get bewildering".[17] Writing for Los Angeles Times, August Brown lauded the show as "one of the best arena rock shows of the last few years", taking particular note of the stage production which was "classy and minimal, relying on the strength of the songs and Styles’ charm as a live performer."[18] Sabrina Barr of The Independent praised Styles for his "undeniably impressive vocal range", adding, "Most performers can only dream of having the charisma and star quality that Harry Styles naturally exudes."[19]

The Irish Times's Louise Bruton wrote that Styles "proves his superstar status easily but he maintains a sincere level of modesty throughout the entire show, making him more personable than a lot of his pop star peers", and praised his vocals on slower songs, calling him "very much in a league of his own".[20] Matt Miller of Esquire complimented Styles' sensitivity in regards to inclusivity ("aggressively inclusive" according to Rolling Stone) after seeing "teens carrying rainbow hats, shirts, and even one pride flag attached to a Black Lives Matter sign in the front row", saying "[Styles reminds] us that youths are here, they're aware, and they actually care."[21]

Commercial performance

According to Billboard, tickets for the 2017 shows sold out in seconds across 29 markets.

The Forum in Inglewood, California, tallied more than 17,000 paid tickets and beat the record for the most paid tickets for a single show since the venue reopened in 2014. Additionally, record amounts of merchandise were sold in over 50 venues in North and South America, Australia, and Europe, according to Live Nation.[23]

Pollstar's 2018 Mid-Year report ranked the tour at No. 13 on the Top 100 Worldwide Tours list and No. 20 on Top 100 North American Tours list in terms of gross, and No. 8 on Top 100 Tours list for number of tickets sold worldwide.[24] Styles was the third top-selling touring act of Summer 2018 in the U.S.,[25] fifth in Canada and Argentina,[26][27] and eighth in Brazil on StubHub.[28]

Philanthropy

The tour raised a total of $1.2 million in charity donations from ticket and merchandise sales for 62 charities around the world, and registered hundreds of new voters in the U.S. via the non-profit organisation

LGBTQ youth.[30]
