Harry Styles is inviting his global fanbase into his new sonic world a bit earlier than anticipated. On Thursday (Feb. 12), the British pop icon announced a series of exclusive pre-release listening sessions across 40 cities to celebrate his upcoming LP, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.
Unveiling the news via Instagram, the artist confirmed these curated gatherings will commence on February 18—roughly two weeks before the arrival of his fourth solo studio effort. A promotional poster, featuring a beaming Styles in a black sweater with a distinctive smiley-face cutout, ensures that those lucky enough to attend will get to “hear the album in full.”
“We wanna dance with all our friends,” he shared in the succinct social media caption.
Devoted fans on Styles’ text subscription list were immediately directed to a registration portal. After navigating a digital queue, participants were invited to submit their information and answer a creative prompt: “What do you think listening to the album will feel like?” In the United States, the listening parties are scheduled for Los Angeles and Madison, Wisconsin.
The momentum for Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally has been building steadily since the release of the lead single “Aperture,” which debuted at the summit of the Billboard Hot 100. These 40 global events serve as the final countdown to the album’s March 6 release and a highly anticipated one-night-only performance in Manchester, England, where Styles will debut the new tracks at Co-op Live.
Once the album is officially available, Styles will transition into a massive global tour beginning May 16 in Amsterdam. The trek is highlighted by a historic 30-night residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
