Harry Styles’ “Love on Tour 2022” brought blasting energy to 39 concerts, spreading love all over the nation in radiant, exciting performances after the release of his newest hit album “Harry’s House,” Styles visited The Forum in Los Angeles 12 different times, with completely sold-out shows.
Harry Styles drove the night to be a magical experience with the use of emotion through unbelievable music. Styles seemingly allures the crowd with his charming looks and distinguished charisma. He and his band put on an outstanding performance that kept everyone entertained for 90 minutes.
Along with being an amazing musician, Styles engages with the audience and even has conversations with several fans, which allows for an incredibly welcoming environment. It is unmistakable that he puts on his total, best performance at every show.
The opener at The Kia Forum for Love on Tour 2022 was American singer-songwriter Ben Harper, who is known for his diverse combination of blues, folk, soul, reggae, and rock. From the very beginning, Harper set an excellent mood for the night.
Even though 17,000 energetic bodies in the Forum may be unsettling, fans trust Styles as he genuinely makes connections with the crowd. A key part of going to a Harry Styles concert is the experience that comes with it, which leaves you hoping to return to, possibly, one of the best nights of your life. He not only sang an average of 18 songs each night, but he puts his maximum effort into every piece of artistry that he displays to the fans.
Styles dazed the crowd with his amazing dance moves and creative outfits styled by Harry Lambert. Lambert is one of the fashion industry’s best-known stylists. He also is a stylist for various other big names, including Josh O’Connor, Emma Corrin, and Dominic Calvert Lewin.
The forum contains many separate seated sections and the pit, which is a standing area closest to the stage. The Forum is a square shape with two walkways on each side, so Styles moved around the stage constantly.
Something that is never discounted at Styles’s concerts is how talented his band is as a whole. Harry has worked with the members of his band for several years and has grown very close to them. The band members are Pauli Lovejoy on percussion, Mitch Rowland as a guitarist, Sarah Jones on drums and vocals, Ny Oh on piano and vocals, Elin Sanberg on bass and vocals, and several others on keys, trumpet, and trombone. Several of them even have instrumental solos throughout the show, and they are individually introduced, which tends to be followed by an eruption from the crowd. It is very obvious that Styles is extremely appreciative of them.
With the arena lit up by flashlights and cheering voices, Styles certainly made his visit to LA one to remember. In total, over 200,000 fans from all over the country attended the 12 shows, and many were left crying by the end of it. Styles has a way of making each and every person in the room feel special and known.
Styles was originally supposed to have 15 nights in LA, but due to illness, he had to postpone three of the shows to fully recover for the remainder of his performances. The shows on November 5, 6, and 7 have been rescheduled to January 26, 27, and 29 of 2023.
