Harry Styles adds Aussie dates to his highly anticipated world tour - but some fans aren't happy

Harry Styles is hitting the stage for his Together Together Tour this May - his first time on the road since 2023.

The 31-year-old former One Direction pop star has announced he is set to play a seven-city 'global' residency - including four stadium shows Down Under. 

The hitmaker will appear at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium on November 27 and 28 before heading to Sydney for the final two shows on December 12 and 13.

Still, Harry's decision to play 50 shows in just six countries, including the UK, US, Netherlands, Mexico, Brazil, and Australia, has left some of his fans unhappy.

Fans did not hold back as they filled his Instagram with angry comments.

'Harry, in my opinion, you need to be together in more parts of the world,' messaged one disappointed follower, while another added, 'Nah real cuz what do you mean world tour with 7 cities??'

'Tour, not world tour,' said another fan, while a fourth Styles enthusiast joked, 'That's funny, cos I thought I heard world tour.

Tickets for Harry's Australian shows will go on sale to the general public on January 30 at staggered times.

Fans who pre-order Harry's new album will get early access to tickets alongside American Express cardholders from January 27.

Live Nation is also offering a presale on January 29. There are also VIP experience packages available, including a meet and greet with the star.

Along with shows in Sydney and Melbourne, Harry has gigs in Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, and a 30-night residency in New York.

Harry sent fans into meltdown after announcing his new single Aperture is dropping on Friday amid his return to music.

His new album KISS ALL THE TIME. DISCO, OCCASIONALLY will be released on Friday, March 6.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Harry shared a picture of himself recording as he revealed his new single Aperture will be dropping at midnight on Friday in the UK (11am AEST).

And it will be a battle between Harry and his One Direction bandmate in the charts as Louis Tomlinson, 34, will release his album How Did I Get Here? also on Friday, after his single Imposter hit streaming platforms on Tuesday.

Harry sent fans into meltdown as he hinted he was set to drop more huge news at 5pm when a clock appeared on his new incognito website webelongtogether.co.

As the time in the UK hit 5pm, the clock's hands were both pointing at DISCO - before the announcement when live on his social media.

Harry's new album cover showed him dancing under a disco ball in a darkened landscape, with the font matching that of the posters that had appeared around the globe, sparking speculation an announcement was imminent.

The news sent Harry's die-hard fans into meltdown, as they posted on X: 'Harry Styles coming to save the music industry'; 

'HARRY STYLES IS SOOOOOO BACK!! I can't believe this is real life!!!;

'CALL AN AMBULANCE HOLY CHIP I'VE PRAYED FOR TIMES LIKE THIS HELLO IS ANYONE STILL ALIVE???;

'Showing up to celebrate #HS4 after hibernating for like four years; HOW DOES ONE ACT NORMAL ABOUT THIS!!; 'When HS4 is announced on a random Thursday in January.'

The former One Direction star had been dropping clues about his comeback in recent weeks, which have included a nine-minute YouTube video, global posters and a mysterious website which encouraged fans to sign up to WhatsApp updates.

Fans who have been following the breadcrumbs this month received a surprise voice note from the star, singing 'we belong together'.

The clip, which was shared on December 27, shared footage from his final Love On Tour performance at the RCF Arena Campovolo in Reggio Emilia, Italy in July 2023.

The video includes scenes of fans arriving hours beforehand, preparing for the show, and talking about what the night meant to them.

Harry was then at a piano playing a heartfelt and mostly instrumental piece which wasn't released previously outside of the performance. 

The clip ended with the message 'we belong together', which most fans interpreted as a sign that Harry was returning to music in some capacity. 

The imagery and phrases on these posters match the ending line and crowd shots from Harry's Forever, Forever video - so fans quickly linked the two.

Around the same time, a cryptic new website -webelongtogether.co -went live, coinciding with the global poster sightings.

The homepage shows a looped video of a concert crowd - matching imagery from Harry's Forever, Forever video - with no direct announcement.

At the bottom of the site is a copyright notice for Sony Music Entertainment - Harry's label via Columbia Records.

When fans interacted with the site it redirected them into a WhatsApp contact/group named HSHQ (Harry Styles Headquarters).
