Harry Styles and thousands of concertgoers at Wembley Stadium joined in a collective celebration on July 1, marking England’s 2-1 victory over DR Congo in the World Cup. Footage from the venue shows the singer reacting to Harry Kane’s decisive late goal just before his scheduled performance, an event that mirrored the excitement of fans who gathered at the stadium early for a public screening of the match.
The win, which secured England’s progression to the tournament’s last 16, provided a high-energy backdrop to the latest stop on Styles’ “Together, Together” tour. The singer is currently in the midst of a 12-night residency at the London venue, a run that stands as the longest single-artist engagement in Wembley Stadium’s history.
A Record-Breaking Residency
Styles’ current residency at Wembley has set a new benchmark for the stadium. The 12-night series of shows follows Coldplay’s 10-night run at the venue in 2025 and Taylor Swift’s eight-night solo-artist record in 2024. The residency serves as a centerpiece for the tour, which supports his fourth album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.
The scale of the residency has required logistical adjustments from stadium management. Following a period of high temperatures in the United Kingdom, Wembley Stadium implemented a rule change for Styles’ recent shows. The venue permitted attendees to bring refillable metal and hard plastic water bottles into the stadium, a departure from standard restrictions intended to assist fans during the heatwave.
World Cup Influence on Stage
The atmosphere at Wembley has been heavily influenced by the ongoing World Cup, with Styles incorporating football-themed elements into his live sets. During his performances, the singer has been playing a medley that transitions from Underworld’s “Born Slippy” into “Three Lions,” the track by Baddiel, Skinner, and The Lightning Seeds. The song choice has garnered public attention, including a lighthearted remark from Baddiel, who noted that he was happy to waive royalties for the use of the track after clips of Styles performing it were shared on social media.
The match itself was a closely contested affair. After falling behind to an early goal from Brian Cipenga, England staged a comeback with two late goals from Harry Kane. The result, managed under the leadership of Thomas Tuchel, successfully propelled the team into the last 16.
What Happens Next
Styles has two remaining dates at Wembley Stadium scheduled for July 3 and July 4. Following the conclusion of his London residency, the “Together, Together” tour is set to continue with international stops in Brazil, Mexico, the US, and Australia later this year.
