Harry Styles‘ massive 12-night residency kicks off at Wembley Stadium on June 12 and it is expected to be a huge money-spinner for the economy with fans forking out nearly £1,000 each
The UK leg of singer Harry Styles’ Together, Together tour will deliver a near £1.1billion boost to the economy, it is claimed.
The star kicks off a mammoth 12-night residency at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 12, with the last date on July 4. And research by Barclays suggests it could be a bigger money-spinner than both last year’s Oasis reunion gigs and Taylor Swift’s 2024 The Eras Tour.
With no other UK tour stops, and just one other European tour location in Amsterdam, Harry’s Wembley stint marks the most performances by any artist in a single year at the north London venue.
Barclays’ research suggests fans of the Watermelon Sugar star expect to spend £981 on average on tickets, travel, accommodation, and outfits. That includes £143 each on tickets, £103 for travel, and £141 for accommodation.
Taylor Swift’s tour across 15 UK tour dates was reckoned to have resulted in total UK consumer spending of £997 million, with ‘Swifties’ forking out £848 on average each to see their idol.
Oasis Live ’25 and its 17 UK tour dates is estimated to have sparked around £1.06 billion worth of spending, or about £766 per fan. The forecast for Harry’s UK leg is put at just above Oasis, but a fair bit more per gig given his 12 nights.
But whereas Taylor Swift and Oasis played venues in other parts of the UK, the spending on Harry’s is expected to be more concentrated on London.
The big outlays confirms how massive big live concerts have become, with Brits willing to put the cost of living crisis aside to splash out on seeing their idols in person.
Barclays found nearly half of people it surveyed would rather spend on an experience than a material possession, and 39% would be willing to travel to another country or city to see their favourite artist perform.
