Harry Styles – Together, Together Tour

When Harry Styles announced Together, Together, it was immediately clear that the tour would rank among the most ambitious live events of its kind. In support of his latest album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., the tour spanned seven cities across Europe, North America, South America and Australia, with extended residencies at New York City’s Madison Square Garden and London’s Wembley Stadium. At Wembley, Harry Styles’ 12-show run earned him the Guinness World Records title for the longest residency by a musician at Wembley Stadium in a single run.

But productions of this scale are defined by far more than their size. Behind every performance lie months of planning, teams of specialists and the seamless integration of creative vision, technology and people. Together, Together was no exception.

Assembling the Team

Building on its involvement in Harry Styles’ previous tours, Solotech once again joined the production team, delivering integrated audio, lighting and video solutions in support of the tour’s creative vision. But a project of this scale is never the work of a single company. It is the result of dozens of experts, each bringing their expertise to a shared creative objective.

At the heart of that effort was Creative Director Molly Hawkins, whose vision set the direction for the show. Central to that approach was the challenge of creating intimacy at stadium scale, using the stage, lighting and video to bring Harry closer to the audience and make fans an active part of the experience. Bringing that vision to life required a team capable of translating creative ambition into a live experience that could be delivered consistently, night after night, across multiple continents.

For Production Manager Andrew Thornton, assembling that team was one of the project’s greatest priorities. Speaking to TPi Magazine, he described the process simply: “We wanted to gather the Avengers of touring crew.” From creative leadership and production management to technical specialists and touring crews, every discipline played a critical role in transforming an ambitious concept into a live experience.

Months before the first audience entered the venue, rehearsals, technical coordination and logistical planning were already underway. Close collaboration between production partners helped ensure that every element of the show would perform as a single, cohesive whole when the tour finally hit the road.

Bringing the Vision to Life 

Turning Molly Hawkins’ vision into a show capable of touring across multiple continents required far more than technical expertise. It demanded close collaboration between every discipline involved, with audio, lighting and video teams working toward a single creative objective from the earliest stages of preparation. 

For Ian “Woody” Woodall, Vice President of Business Development at Solotech, that seamless integration ultimately became one of the project’s defining achievements: 

“None of these systems is difficult on its own. Making all three behave as one, in different cities across four continents — that’s the bit we are all proud of.” 

That philosophy guided every stage of the project. Rather than approaching each discipline independently, teams worked collaboratively throughout the design, rehearsal and deployment process to ensure every system performed as part of a unified production. The objective wasn’t simply to deliver world-class audio, lighting or video individually, but to create an experience where every element complemented the others without compromising the creative vision. 

The result was a show where audio, lighting and video came together as a single creative language, each discipline reinforcing the others to deliver the experience Molly Hawkins had envisioned. 

The Scale Behind the Spectacle 

Bringing a production of this scale to audiences around the world required an equally ambitious logistical operation. In total, the tour travelled with dozens of trucks, many of them carrying the audio, lighting and video systems supplied by Solotech. Behind every performance was a carefully orchestrated effort to transport, assemble and deploy one of the most sophisticated touring operations on the road. 

That scale extended far beyond logistics. Approximately 1,700 lighting fixtures, 1,220 ROE CB5 LED panels and one of the first major touring deployments of L-Acoustics’ L1 system came together to support a show designed to deliver the same creative vision in every city. The audio system alone nearly doubled the number of inputs used on previous Harry Styles tours, managed through four DiGiCo Quantum 852 consoles. 

Productions of this scale leave little room for compromise. Every department depends on the others to perform with absolute consistency, from load-in to the final cue. Success depends less on the complexity of the technology than on the confidence that every system, every team and every individual will deliver, night after night. 

Behind Every Show 

While audiences remember the music, the moments and the spectacle, every performance is also the culmination of countless hours of preparation by people whose work often goes unseen. 

When creative vision, collaboration and technical excellence come together, the result is more than a concert. It becomes an experience audiences remember long after the show is over. 

Reflecting on the tour, Ian “Woody” Woodall, Vice President of Business Development at Solotech, believes the project’s greatest achievement extends well beyond the technology itself. 

“A show this size is never one team or one company. It’s the project managers, the technical specialists, the touring crews and the people in the office nobody ever sees. Watching that lot come together is the part we are all proud of.”
