Saturday 13 June 2026. HARRY STYLES + SHANIA TWAIN live at Wembley Stadium. I am back to see show number 2 of his 12 massive shows here. I saw three reviews from the opening night. The Telegraph gave it five stars , and the Standard and Independent both gave it four stars . The Gold Circle area or known tonight as Premium Enclosure Standing Areas (Kiss, Disco, Circle, Square): are a whopping £280 plus vat is £315 a ticket. I have a perfect view as I am in Square , within the three stage extension walkways . SHANIA TWAIN is in a silver mini dress and boots, and is really great. I thought it was a surprise booking to see her as the support act , when it was announced, but Shania was a perfect choice and went down great both nights with Harry's fans. Both acts performed the same setlist as the night before. HARRY STYLES really knows how to keep his female fans happy. Pretty much the same stage chat between songs. I only know 3 or 4 Harry Styles tracks but you gotta appreciate the joy he brings to all the females here. Again lots of handmade signs in the crowd, as Harry again picks a couple out. Tonight a chosen one was " At Wembley , to celebrate my divorce". " Respect Your Mother " t- shirts dotted around. A funny sight was 20 females dancing around a 12 inch Harry doll. Another sold out show , and another cracking visual treat. You can check some great video footage on YouTube. -------------------------------- -------------------------------- Friday 12 June 2026. HARRY STYLES + SHANIA TWAIN live at Wembley Stadium. Harry is playing a massive world tour, that includes a record breaking TWELVE nights at Wembley Stadium. He beats the previous Wembley Stadium record set by Coldplay of ten nights . That means around a million tickets sold for Wembley. Support at Wembley comes from SHANIA TWAIN. Country pop superstar Shania Twain has sold over 100 million albums worldwide. She played a celebratory legend’s slot performance at Glastonbury Festival in 2024, that included her big hits 'That Don’t Impress Me Much ' and ' Man! I Feel Like A Woman!'. Harry's tour includes 30 , yes 30 shows at Madison Square Garden. With the domestic sports season now complete, Wembley Stadium is gearing up for “its biggest summer of music ever,” according to a press release from the iconic stadium. Between June and September, Wembley will host a record-breaking 34 concerts featuring some of the world’s biggest artists, many of whom will perform multiple shows back to back, making for the highest number of music events staged at the venue in a single year to date. I saw Harry Styles headline Wembley Stadium in 2022. I have seen Shania Twain at Wembley Arena in 2004. Cheapest tickets on the pitch are £140. ------------------ ------------------ The stadium tonight is a 80,000 or 90,000 capacity sold out. As expected it is mainly females here, with many dressed up. Great to have a big name support . SHANIA TWAIN arrived on stage at 6.55pm for her 55 mins set. Shania is fully glammed up, and it's hard to believe she is aged 60. Shania has plenty of her own fans here . A huge production with three catwalk stage extensions. Both Harry and Shania have female drummers. Shania had full use of the walkways and the big screens. Her band played on silver podiums in the two corners . Her biggest two tracks at the end ( That Don't Impress Me Much and Man! I Feel Like a Woman) got everyone on their feet singing and dancing. Her simple country pop tracks were really great. Full SHANIA TWAIN setlist played... Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You) Up! I'm Gonna Getcha Good! Giddy Up! Any Man of Mine Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under? You're Still the One Dirty Rosie (If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here! That Don't Impress Me Much Man! I Feel Like a Woman HARRY STYLES arrived on stage at 8.20pm for his 1 hour 55 mins set. Harry has four types of gold circle rectangular area wristbands. Early bangers included ' Golden' and 'Watermelon Sugar'. Harry has a string section for several songs. Midway through the show, Harry and band play a couple of tracks in the middle of the stage extensions. There are lasers for a couple of songs , and a very nice firework display on top of the roof for the encore Harry is dancing lots around the three interconnecting walkways. He recently ran the Berlin Marathon in just under three hours. He is exposing his white socks , with short trousers just like Michael Jackson did. Watching the crowd hang on to his every word at this big shows is great. The atmosphere inside the stadium tonight was totally fantastic. Lots of stage chat from Harry ,including reminiscing about his audition for The X Factor, 16 years ago. "Just outside of this building, just next door in Wembley Arena, my sister brought me to London for the very first time," said the star, who was born in Redditch and raised in Cheshire. "It was… in that building that I was put in a band. We were called One Direction," he recalled, prompting screams. Before a show-stealing rendition of 'Aperture' , Styles pays tribute on the big screens to artist David Hockney ( who passed away the day before ) – whom he sat for a portrait with in 2022 – displaying a quote about the importance of communal experiences in art. Harry certainly wants to be taken as a serious artist , rather than ex boy band member. Final song was his biggest hit ' As It Was' with him running around the entire stage walkways blowing kisses to the fans. It was a very enjoyable show, and a full on stadium spectacle.
