Harry Styles Tour Tally: Nearly 1 Million Tickets Sold, $1.2 Million in Charity Donations (EXCLUSIVE)

Harry Styles’ debut solo tour was ambitious: nearly 90 shows across 10 months in support of an unconventional solo debut album that channeled the sounds of the early 1970s more than anything he’d done as a member of One Direction. If Styles had made a 2018 version of “Futuresex/LoveSounds,” it’s safe to suggest that Drake might not have broken all those streaming records last week. But instead the 24-year-old Brit made an album that few if any could have predicted: “a bold and brave statement of intent that completely reinvents him as an artist — and leaves a wide-open road for whatever he might want to do next,” as Variety said in its May 2017 review.
But as much as the album was a curve to his audience, a huge number of them followed him every step of the way, as evidenced by the tinnitus-inducing shrieks at those 90-odd shows and the nearly 1 million tickets that were sold for them (final numbers will be available in the next few weeks). By design, the tour gained momentum as it progressed from smaller rooms to theaters to arenas, the songs and Styles’ megawatt stage presence growing bigger along with the venues; thanks were also due in no small part to a wildly diverse set of support acts including R&B singer Leon Bridges, female-led alt-rock acts Muna and Warpaint, and a rousing closing round from pop-country powerhouse Kacey Musgraves.
