Rhinestones bejeweling her eyes and star-shaped clips in her hair, 23-year-old Mathea Ndawula was all set on Saturday for the first show of pop superstar Harry Styles\u2019 new world tour. \u201cMy goal is to dance all night,\u201d the psychology student told AFP, who had travelled from Mons in Belgium to Amsterdam early to secure a good spot. The typical Dutch weather of lashing rain and wind failed to deter fans of the British star, who turned out in droves from all corners of Europe, huddling in ponchos covered with pink hearts.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old singer will perform for 10 nights at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, usually home to Dutch football giants Ajax, who have been displaced during the tour. The residency-style \u201cTogether, Together\u201d tour will take root in seven cities for a total of 67 concerts from May 16 to December 13.<\/p>\n
A record 12 concerts are scheduled for London\u2019s Wembley Arena in June and New York\u2019s Madison Square Garden will host 30 shows at the end of August. Styles burst onto the pop scene at the age of 16 from the talent show X-factor, later fronting boy band One Direction.<\/p>\n
His new album \u201cKiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally\u201d came out on March 6, four years after his last work \u201cHarry\u2019s House\u201d, which won the Best Album award at the Grammy\u2019s. With a more electronic and experimental sound, although still unashamedly full of dance tracks, the new album is seen as taking a new trajectory.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m so excited\u2019 <\/p>\n
\u201cEvery album is like a new chapter in his life, something different that he wants to do,\u201d said Jessica Denovan from Manchester in Britain, who has been a Harry Styles fan since One Direction days. \u201cWe have no idea what the intro is going to be. It\u2019s all going to be different. I don\u2019t even know what to expect… I\u2019m so excited,\u201d said the 21-year-old who works in a kindergarten.<\/p>\n
In a rare interview given to New Zealand presenter Zane Lowe, Styles said a residency-style tour would offer fans improved staging for the show. \u201cI think it makes the show better. I think you can build something that doesn\u2019t have to travel every night,\u201d he said. \u201cI think there\u2019s something in this that allows me to stay in my life while I\u2019m doing it and therefore… to take care of myself better which I think makes me better at doing the thing,\u201d he said. For Tom Fusaz, a 22-year-old Belgian gardener, the switch to the residency format was an interesting gamble. \u201cIt\u2019s a risk that he\u2019s taking, but I can\u2019t wait to see how it plays out live,\u201d Fusaz told AFP. -AFP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rhinestones bejeweling her eyes and star-shaped clips in her hair, 23-year-old Mathea Ndawula was all set on Saturday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":86932,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[101],"tags":[199,46469,11400,46470,23353,23352,200,42670],"class_list":["post-86931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-amsterdam","tag-amsterdam","tag-dance-all-night","tag-harry-styles","tag-kicks-off","tag-kuwait-news","tag-kuwait-times","tag-netherlands","tag-world-tour"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116605366223035280","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
