Harry Styles’ ‘Love on Tour’: A Worldwide Sensation and the Fifth Largest Tour in History

Share:

It’s been a couple of weeks since Harry Styles concluded his worldwide Love on Tour. He did so at the Arena Campovolo Music in Reggio Emilia, Italy, where, in addition to presenting a new song, he delivered an emotional speech about what this tour had meant on an emotional level for both him and his audience.

However, his concerts have had repercussions in other much more tangible aspects that can be quantified. The British artist’s live figures from around the world over the past two years are truly remarkable, as evidenced by the information published by Billboard regarding his confirmed final data, making it the fifth largest in US history since records began.

$ 617.3 Million in Box Office Tevenue

The total revenue Harry Styles has achieved from ticket sales for various Love on Tour concerts in all the countries he has visited amounts to $617.3 million. Only the tours of Elton John, Ed Sheeran, U2, and Coldplay managed to raise more than what former One Direction member has accomplished.

From September 4, 2021, to July 23, 2023, much has changed in global society. With the exception of Africa, the singer visited every other continent where he offered multiple dates to reunite with his audience after having to postpone the Fine Line Tour for two years, which was later followed by the presentation of Harry’s House (2022).

169 Concerts

The tour originally planned to hold 170 concerts, but the performer had to cancel one of the dates following the terrible attack in Copenhagen. Other shows were postponed multiple times due to the global pandemic and also because of the performer’s health condition, as he contracted a virus during his time in Europe.

By the end of his Love on Tour, Harry Styles had performed 169 shows in America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, making it one of the largest tours in terms of the number of concerts in the history of music.

Almost 6 Million Spectators

It’s challenging to determine whether the figure of 5 million spectators has been surpassed or not, as it’s not always possible to count how many fans attended more than one of his shows. However, the figure refers to the number of tickets sold during the 169 shows we mentioned earlier.

This means that, on average, the attendance at each of his shows over the past two years has hovered around 30,000 people.

$6 Million in Donations

At each of the shows the artist performed around the world, attendees had the opportunity to make a donation during the ticket purchase process. During his Love on Tour, almost 6 million spectators participated in this process, so at least each of the attendees contributed their bit in the form of a dollar (or euro, or pound…) to this charitable initiative.

Nearly 30 organizations and charitable projects related to social exclusion, nature, families, culture, childhood, and more (Planned Parenthood, Choose Love, Physicians for Reproductive Health, The Theaster Gates Foundation, REVERB, Black Voters Matter Fund – Capacity Building Institute, The Afiya Center, International Rescue Committee, Intermission Youth, Save the Children, CARE, Every Town for Gun Safety, BEAM, Theater Gates, Rebuild Theater – Venice Program, WWWF-Brasil, Sydney Zoo, Baan Tawan Mai Orphans (Pow Sarin Org), Cribs Foundation Inc., St John’s Home, Limitless, Children’s Wishing Well, SHINE, Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, Black Minds Matter UK, Florence Org…) will benefit from this money.
