Harry Styles Announces Early Listening Parties in 40 Cities

Harry Styles will preview his new album “Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally” at free listening parties across 40 cities, weeks ahead of its official release.

Harry Styles is giving fans an unprecedented early listen to his forthcoming album. The Grammy-winning artist announced a global series of free listening parties across 40 cities, set to take place two weeks before the official release of “Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.”

The events will be held in independent record stores, intimate venues, and select cinemas in cities including London, New York, Tokyo, Paris, Sydney, Mexico City, and São Paulo. Fans can register for tickets through Styles’ official website, with allocations determined by lottery to ensure equitable access. Each location will play the album in its entirety, accompanied by exclusive visual installations curated by the artist himself.

“I wanted to share this record the way I heard it while making it together, in a room, with people who love music,” Styles said in a statement. “These songs mean everything to me, and I can’t wait for you to hear them before anyone else.”

“Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally” marks Styles’ fourth studio album and his first since 2022’s “Harry’s House,” which won Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards. Early descriptions from his label suggest a sonic departure, blending orchestral pop with extended disco-influenced interludes and intimate acoustic balladry. The album title has already sparked widespread fan speculation and trended on social media within minutes of the announcement.

The listening party strategy mirrors a growing trend among major artists who seek to reclaim the communal experience of album releases in an era dominated by streaming drops. By partnering with independent record stores, Styles also provides a significant economic boost to local music businesses still recovering from pandemic-era disruptions.

“This is about connection, not commerce,” his manager added. “Harry believes music is best experienced together.”

The album officially drops worldwide on March 6, 2026. Listening party registration opens Monday, February 16.
