Harry Styles has unveiled a series of official listening parties for his forthcoming fourth studio album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, offering fans in Australia, New Zealand and around the world an opportunity to hear the record in full ahead of its official release on March 6, 2026. The global initiative, spanning forty cities and beginning on February 18, was confirmed by Styles in an Instagram announcement underscored by his invitation: “We wanna dance with all our friends.” The city list includes Sydney and Auckland as part of the worldwide roll-out of events celebrating the album’s imminent arrival.
The listening parties form a key component of Styles’s promotional efforts following last month’s surprise preview event in New York City, which saw hundreds of fans queue for hours to hear the album’s lead single, “Aperture,” ahead of its release. Fans interested in attending the events can register via Styles’s official listening party portal, where they enter a selection process for invitations. While precise venues and times in Australia and New Zealand are yet to be disclosed, organisers have indicated that details will be shared with selected attendees as the February 18 start date approaches.
Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally marks Styles’s first full album in four years and follows the monumental success of Harry’s House in 2022. The new record is supported by an ambitious global promotional strategy that includes the worldwide Together, Together tour, scheduled to begin in May with shows in Europe and concluding in Australia in December. The listening parties are designed to deepen fan engagement and build excitement for both the album and live performances. Styles’s integration of early listening events reflects a broader trend among major recording artists to create immersive, community-oriented experiences in advance of traditional release cycles.
Fans in Australia and New Zealand are poised to take part in this early preview phase, affirming the strong regional enthusiasm for Styles’s music and global cultural presence. The listening party programme not only offers early access to the album but also reinforces his connection with international audiences ahead of the release date.
