Presentation at Wembley

The gold Blue Peter badge is awarded to individuals in recognition of extraordinary achievements. Previous recipients include Madonna, Ed Sheeran and Sir Paul McCartney.
Special Episode and Tour Details
A special episode of Blue Peter filmed on location at Wimbledon, which also shows Styles being awarded his badge, will air on Friday at 5pm on CBBC. The former One Direction star finished the London leg of his Together, Together tour on Saturday night during which he performed 12 shows. The Grammy-winning singer has been recognised with a Guinness World Record for the longest residency by a musician at Wembley during a single run.
Record-Breaking Residency
Styles began the residency on June 12 during a tour for his fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. Originally announced as a six-night run, demand led to the addition of six more shows for the UK leg of the tour. Styles overtook the previous record of 10 Wembley Stadium shows, set by Coldplay during their Music Of The Spheres World Tour in 2025.
Guinness World Record Certificate
The singer and the whole tour crew were presented with the certificate onstage by official Guinness World Records adjudicator Will Munford, who called the residency an “extraordinary achievement”. “Harry Styles’ record-breaking 12-date run is a testament to the scale, ambition and cultural impact of his live performances, as well as the incredible connection he has with his fans,” he said.
