- Harry Styles closed his record-setting Madison Square Garden residency with two “Harryween” shows after a nine-week run of 30 nights, appearing as 1970s-era Elvis Presley on Friday and the “Pizza Rat” meme character on Saturday while the band and audience dressed up.
- Jalen Brunson joined Styles onstage Saturday on behalf of Madison Square Garden and the New York Knicks to present a banner marking the residency’s 30th night, after Styles had joined Brunson’s team for its banner night two weeks earlier.
- One Direction included Styles after his 2010 “X Factor” audition performance of Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely” clinched him a spot; Styles revisited the song in Friday’s encore wearing that same outfit.
- Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer” was covered by Styles during Saturday’s full New York City tribute, after the band appeared as the Statue of Liberty, Andy Warhol and Anna Wintour.
- AmEx ran pop-up shops across lower Manhattan throughout the nine-week residency and, halfway through, invited 10 randomly selected fans to experience “Together, Together” live for the first time.
- Together, Together heads to Australia later this month and resumes in the U.S. in April 2027, with three consecutive shows scheduled at Wembley Stadium in August 2027.
Why it matters: AmEx’s sponsorship of Styles’ 30-night run produced a nine-week, lower Manhattan pop-up campaign, extending the brand’s visibility beyond the arena and giving 10 randomly selected fans their first live “Together, Together” experience during the record-setting residency in New York City.
