You can read Harry's message in full below.

Hello.

When we decided to do the 2026 tour I knew it would be special but what you turned it into was far beyond what I could have imagined. I love playing music, I love being with all of you and being a part of the love and joy you all create together every night. That’s why I wanted you to be the first to know we will be adding 2027 dates, which honestly, at first I found daunting. Being an artist is the only life I’ve ever known really, I have been doing this since I was 16 years old, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world to still be sharing these moments with you.

Tomorrow’s announcement will be the final cities of Together, Together. After that, I don’t know what comes next for me, but I know that I’m excited to find out.

I can’t wait for us to keep dancing with all our friends, I hope to see you there. Thank you for coming out to see us, and for all the love and support you’ve given me over the years.

All my love,

- H

Is Harry Styles quitting music?

Harry saying he "doesn't know what comes next" for him has led some fans to worry that he is retiring but he never mentions actually quitting music. Based on what he's said, it seems likely that he intends to take a long break post Together Together and likely won't tour for a while, similar to the break he took after Love On Tour.

It's also possible that Harry wants to explore career paths outside of being an artist.
