Harry Styles tour: One Direction star cancels Sheffield Utilita Arena date but announces Old Trafford show

The former One Direction singer was due to perform in the Steel City in March, after postponing a number of shows in light of the Covid pandemic.

However he has now cancelled the arena dates – including his gigs in Australia and New Zealand – and has instead launched a new ‘Love On Tour’ for 2022.

The new tour will see him heading to stadiums across the UK, including Old Trafford in Manchester and Wembley in London.

He has now apologised for the inconvenience of cancelling the arena shows and issued an update on how to get tickets for the new dates – as well as what to do if you already had tickets for the Sheffield Arena show.

Here is everything you need to know.
