"I think a lot of the thinking behind it for me is about, I think it makes the show better. I think you can build something that doesn't have to travel every night. I think the show itself is better. I think there's something in this that allows me to like stay in my life while I'm doing it. And therefore I think it allows me to take care of myself better, which I think makes me better at doing the thing."
"It's not like I'm saying I'll never travel again, but I want to see what it looks like if you do it a different way. And people in my band have families now and kids, and some aspects of that too. It's really important to me that they're on the road, that I would love to have them. I don't want to make it like near impossible for them to be able to come do that with me."
Harry Styles believes performing residencies at single venues produces superior shows compared to traditional touring across multiple cities. He explains that stationary performances eliminate nightly travel, allowing him to maintain his personal life and prioritize self-care, which ultimately enhances his performance quality. Additionally, Styles considers his band members' families and personal lives, recognizing that residencies make touring more feasible for those with children. His upcoming "Together, Together" residency spans seven cities with 60 total performances, including extended runs at venues like Madison Square Garden. Styles clarifies he isn't abandoning traditional touring entirely but wants to explore alternative approaches that balance artistic quality with personal well-being.
