Fans hoping to see Harry Styles perform during their next trip to Las Vegas may want to pump the brakes.
Despite rumors spreading online that the former One Direction member, 31, was in talks to play 35 dates at The Sphere, a spokesperson for the venue is clearing the air.
“To set the record straight, there has never been plans for Harry Styles to perform at Sphere,” a Sphere Entertainment spokesperson said in a statement to Us Weekly on Thursday, March 13. (Billboard was first to report the news.)
Instead, the venue is focused on upcoming shows from Kenny Chesney, Backstreet Boys and Dead & Company. Currently, The Eagles are enjoying a residency at the world class venue with select shows scheduled through Saturday, April 12.
Styles has limited his live shows ever since his global Love On Tour ran from 2021 to 2023. The shows supported the singer’s Fine Line and Harry’s House albums.
As part of the tour, the “As It Was” singer performed 15 shows at New York City’s Madison Square Garden and another 15 shows at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.
“To the most inspiring people I know,” Styles wrote via Instagram in July 2023 when ending the tour. “Goodbye for now. Love On Tour forever.”
Since the tour, Styles has kept a low profile and managed to avoid red carpets and star-studded events.
Earlier this month, however, some fans seemingly spotted the Grammy winner at a Sabrina Carpenter concert in London. Styles also surprised fans when he was spotted participating in the annual Tokyo Marathon.
In a video circulating on X, Styles was seen running incognito during the March 1 race, sporting a black Nike hoodie, matching shorts, neon-yellow sneakers and a pair of sunglasses.
Fans quickly did some digging and discovered Styles finished the race in just over three hours with his net time — the period between crossing the start line to the finish — ringing in at a total of 3:24:07.
There’s no denying that Las Vegas is jam-packed with things to do, but with some of music’s most talented artists signed to Sin City residencies, there is all the more reason to plan a trip. Whether you enjoy a show full of song and dance or are more about the rock scene, the iconic destination […]
According to his official entry on the runner’s website, Styles kept an average pace of 4:51/km and was ranked 6,010 overall.
Running appears to be one form of self-care for the singer, who has spoken out about his love for Pilates workouts and meditation practices.
“I’ve got very tight hamstrings — trying to get those open,” Styles told Vogue in a 2020 profile. “It has changed my life, but it’s so subtle. It’s helped me just be more present. I feel like I’m able to enjoy the things that are happening right in front of me, even if it’s food or it’s coffee or it’s being with a friend — or a swim in a really cold pond.”
