Harry Styles adds new Melbourne and Sydney shows to 2023 Australian tour

Harry Styles has added two more shows to his upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand, after presale tickets for gigs in Melbourne and Sydney sold out in a matter of seconds.Last week, it was announced that Styles will embark on the Australasian leg of his ‘Love On Tour’ next February, performing stadium shows in Perth, Melbourne, the Gold Coast, Sydney and Auckland.

Ticketmaster and Live Nation presales started today (April 26), ahead of the general sale beginning tomorrow (April 27).Citing unprecedented demand for those presales – especially given the cancellation of a long-delayed arena tour in January – second shows have now been added in Melbourne and Sydney, respectively taking place on Saturday March 25 at Marvel Stadium and March 4 at Accor Stadium.

As with all of the previously announced shows, tickets to these go on sale tomorrow afternoon (12pm for Melbourne fans and 1pm for those in Sydney).Styles was initially due to hit Australian shores in November of 2020, playing arenas in support of his then-recent ‘Fine Line’ album.

Those dates were postponed indefinitely due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with Styles commenting at the time: “I really hope to play the shows as planned for 2021 but will continue to monitor the situation over the coming weeks and months.”When he does return Down Under in February, Styles will have songs from his forthcoming third album, ‘Harry’s House’, in tow.
