International pop star Harry Styles is in New York City for his concert residency at Madison Square Garden (MSG). He’ll take over the Midtown venue for his Together Together tour, showcasing his latest album Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally, with
a whopping 30 shows.
The first concert of the residency kicks off tonight, Wednesday, August 26. The rest of the shows are spread out until Sunday, October 31, aka Halloween — or more aptly, Harryween. (This will beat his previous MSG record of 15 shows in 2022.)
These are also Styles’s only U.S. tour dates, which means fans from across the country and world are coming to New York just for him. And luckily, New York City is going all out with themed food and drinks and dancing with all of our friends.
Here’s everything a Harry Styles fan and residency attendee needs to know about dining and drinking around and in the venue, as well as the rest of New York City.

(But also, we have so many questions: Will Styles walk to MSG from Brooklyn across the Williamsburg Bridge as he did during his Saturday Night Live host stint? Will he wear his sticky bun shirt from his Pleasing brand? Will he acknowledge that his ex, Taylor Swift, got married in the venue earlier this summer?)
Come on, Harry, we wanna say goodnight to you.
