Harry Styles opens his Together, Together residency at Johan Cruijff ArenA on Saturday, May 16 — seven days from now — with eight Amsterdam dates running through June 5 and 12 London Wembley dates running June 12 through July 1, inside a 50-show residency across seven cities anchored by Madison Square Garden's 30-night New York run.

The paper's May 7 brief on the £1-per-London-ticket transfer to Live Trust named the grassroots-tax frame, and T-7 is when the model starts running. The Live Trust has now passed four million pledged tickets across 2026 tours after Olivia Dean, Bastille, Florence and the Machine, and Lily Allen joined Coldplay and Sam Fender in the £1 levy, distributing a first £500,000 with £200,000 routing through the Music Venue Trust.

The Wembley math is the audit: 12 London dates at the stadium's 90,000 capacity puts Styles's Live Trust transfer near the high six figures from one tour leg, against an MVT report that 53.8 percent of UK grassroots venues posted no profit in the past year. [3] If the model holds through July 1, the touring economy has its template; if it gets stripped on the next promoter renegotiation, it was a marketing line.
