In a thrilling surprise for devoted followers, Harry Styles enthusiasts were granted an exclusive early listen to what appears to be a new ballad from the global superstar's forthcoming album. The unexpected preview occurred on Thursday evening during DJ Fred Again...'s performance at London's iconic Alexandra Palace venue.
Secret Song Debut at Muswell Hill
Fred Again..., whose real name is Frederick Gibson, treated the capacity crowd to an unreleased composition by Styles during his four-night residency at the Muswell Hill location. The slow-paced track features swirling string arrangements and intimate lyrics including the line: 'We sleep half the night with your head on my chest me and you...there's only me and you.'
Sources indicate that Styles himself was present in the Great Hall audience as the DJ premiered the mysterious song. The singer owns property in the nearby Hampstead area, making his attendance particularly convenient for the special musical moment.
Album Anticipation Builds
Styles is scheduled to release his eagerly awaited fourth studio album on March 6, with a massive world tour commencing in May. To date, only one official single titled Aperture has been released from the project, making this live preview especially significant for fans.
Based on available track listings on streaming platforms like Spotify and iTunes, many speculate the previewed song could be titled Coming Up Roses. The ballad represents a departure from the previously released single and showcases Styles' continued artistic evolution.
Upcoming High-Profile Engagements
The former One Direction member has several major appearances scheduled in the coming weeks:
- Performance at the BRIT Awards this Saturday evening
- Hosting duties on Saturday Night Live in the United States
- Curating the Southbank Centre's Meltdown festival in June 2026
Styles will become the latest in a prestigious line of Meltdown curators that includes David Bowie, Nile Rodgers, Grace Jones, and Yoko Ono. The festival represents the world's longest-running artist-curated music event and will celebrate the Southbank Centre's 75th anniversary.
'I'm deeply honoured to curate the Meltdown festival,' Styles stated following the announcement. 'My goal as the curator is to share the music and art that I love, and to celebrate the rich history of the venue.'
Record-Breaking Tour Expansion
In related news, Styles has expanded his upcoming Together Together tour with two additional Wembley Stadium dates, bringing his total to twelve performances at the iconic venue. This achievement will establish a new record for the most shows at Wembley Stadium during a single tour, surpassing Coldplay's previous benchmark of ten concerts.
The expanded schedule means Styles will perform on June 12, 13, 17, 19, 20, 23, 26, 27, 29, and July 1, 3, and 4 at the legendary stadium. However, the additional dates have sparked controversy among some fans regarding ticket pricing.
Ticket Pricing Controversy
As pre-sale tickets became available, numerous supporters expressed frustration with what they perceive as excessive pricing for the tour. Ticket costs for the London performances range from £44 for standard seats to £466 for premium seating, with standing areas priced between £144 and £279.
VIP packages have drawn particular criticism, with prices reaching as high as £725 per ticket. Some fans have characterized these prices as 'greedy' and 'out of touch,' especially when compared to Styles' previous Love On Tour pricing structure.
Despite the pricing concerns, demand remains exceptionally high for all tour dates, reflecting Styles' continued status as one of the world's most popular musical artists. The combination of new music previews, festival curation, and record-breaking tour plans ensures 2026 will be another landmark year for the multifaceted entertainer.
