Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, out tomorrow (March 6th), marks Styles’ first new album in four years, after 2022’s Harry’s House. He’ll support the album with a massive tour that features residencies across the globe, kicking off May 16 in Amsterdam. The trek includes a 30-date residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden; the record-breaking demand for those tickets led Styles to add more European shows.
The tour includes five Australian dates – three at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium and two at Sydney’s Accor Stadium. Skye Newman and Baby J will join the local shows as the opening acts.
The upcoming trek follows ‘Love on Tour’, which featured 169 dates. “It’s been the greatest experience of my entire life. I feel so incredibly full and happy. It’s all because of you,” he wrote upon the wrap. “You have given me memories that will last a lifetime, more than I could have ever dreamed of. Thank you for your time, your energy, and your love.”
Styles recently appeared at the Grammys, handing off the Album of the Year to Bad Bunny for Debi Tirar Mas Fotos. In February, he also performed at the Brit Awards in Manchester, England, marking his first time playing Disco material in public. He has also recently sat down for major interviews, including with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, where he opened up about grieving the loss of his One Direction bandmate Liam Payne.
The first complete performance of his album – taking place on Friday at Co-op Live in Manchester – will also soon be available on Netflix worldwide. It follows a long-running tradition of release shows for the artist. In 2019, he performed in Los Angeles in celebration of Fine Line. And in 2022, he brought Harry’s House to New York’s UBS Arena.
The Manchester concert will be the first complete concert performance from Styles to be made available on-demand through a streaming service. The following weekend, fans can watch his return to Saturday Night Live, where he will be both the host and musical guest.
In a new review of the album, Rolling Stone wrote: “But Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. is more sensory, less star-driven than the music they’ve made before. Styles’ voice is sometimes secondary to the tracks, filtered or submerged in the mix. And though there are hooks – plenty of them – they too sometimes take a back seat to low-frequency thumps, grooves, shimmies, and shakes that are dirty in ways both sonic and erotic. This is music more invested in being than meaning, experience rather than ego.”
