Harry Styles has sparked a fresh storm in the pop music world, with fans questioning what his new touring approach is.
As talk around his next album and performances grows louder, the 31-year-old singer’s name keeps coming up in discussions about if his “traditional” world tour is slowly losing its grace.
Styles’ last tour, Love On Tour, was massive as it travelled across many countries which featured more than 150 shows and became one of the highest earning tours in recent years.
However, all of the One Direction’s fans flew from different parts of the world just to watch him on stage.
That success is why his recent move has surprised many people and instead of announcing shows in dozens of cities, Styles now seems interested in residency style concerts in a few major places.
Moreover, thse longer stays will allow him to focus more on the show itself, but they also make it harder for international fans to attend.
Ticket prices have added to the frustration, with just a few shows and huge demand, prices have gone up, leaving many fans feeling left out.
Still, others believe that this change reflects how the music industry is going now.
More artists are choosing smaller, focused runs that are easier to manage and offer a polished experience.
