Harry Styles brings AAA-list pop star magic as he makes London's Wembley Stadium home
Halfway through a Saturday night with **Harry Styles**, he has a question: "As it's Wembley, shall we try something?" As he leads nearly 80,000 through a call and response, he cements his place at pop's top table.

Harry may have been here before, but not like this - not with his name alone lit up across the venue's walls. The evening sees pink cowboy hats, queues for merchandise longer than most venues have ever seen, and feathers from endless boas floating around the streets leading up to Wembley's famed arch. To say Harry Styles' headline turn at Wembley Stadium is A Big Deal doesn't capture the sense of occasion that falls across this evening.


Not afraid to wear his heart firmly on his sleeve, the opening bars of 'Music For A Sushi Restaurant' set the tone for a night full of release, emotion, larger-than-life celebration and a sense of joy that you can't help but be pulled into. It takes but two songs, as 'Golden' triggers pogoing masses, for Harry to take a moment to catch himself, blown away by what lies in front of him. The sort of stage any artist dreams of, coming to fruition and covered in every hook, message and feeling he's come to represent to so many. "Be whoever you want to be here tonight," he calls out. "I challenge you to have as much fun as we will."
It's a challenge that Wembley Stadium takes to heart. 'Adore You' is screamed back as Harry jumps from one corner of the stage to the next. Every turn feels bigger and bolder than even the loftiest expectations as latest album 'Harry's House' is showcased throughout the evening. At its core is warmth; whether it's the erupting sweetness of 'Daylight', the seductive prowl of 'Cinema' or the unabashed joy that comes from 'Late Night Talking', it captures a show full of heart and earnest love.
To go from the plucked raw spotlight of 'Matilda' and 'Boyfriends' (the former introduced as Harry talks about how London and Wembley serves as a home to him) to the cinematic screens of 'Satellite' and its overflowing crescendo and to do it all with such ease - is nothing short of jaw-dropping. From start to finish, tonight is a smiling house party dialled to the max, watching a born entertainer lead a congregation through a show that is the stuff of legend.
