The Wembley crowd went utterly potty last night, erupting in scenes of unbridled joy as England snatched a dramatic 2-1 win over DR Congo in the World Cup's last-32 tie! And it wasn't just the Three Lions' fans who were jumping for joy – pop sensation Harry Styles was right there among them, his face alight with excitement as Harry Kane scored that all-important late winner. We're told Styles had been watching on from the VIP area of Wembley Stadium, where his own residency – a record-breaking 12-night stint at the iconic London venue – is in full swing.
The match was being screened ahead of Styles' show, part of his 'Together, Together' tour in support of his critically-acclaimed fourth album 'Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally'. And it was an evening that will be remembered for a long time to come – England had fallen behind to DR Congo's Brian Cipenga early on, sending the Wembley crowd into raptures of despair. But Kane's two late strikes turned the tide, securing a crucial win for Thomas Tuchel's side and booking their spot in the last 16.
Styles' residency at Wembley has already etched its name into history books – the pop star's 12-night run is the longest single-artist stint at the stadium, outdoing previous records set by Coldplay (10 nights) and Taylor Swift (eight nights) in 2024 and 2025 respectively. And it's clear that Styles has fully immersed himself in the World Cup spirit, incorporating a thumping rendition of 'Three Lions' into his shows – with an assist from Underworld's 'Born Slippy' for good measure!
Frank Skinner even chipped in on social media this week, joking that he was "happy to waive the royalties" after Styles performed the anthem. And it's not just football fever that's been sweeping through Wembley – Styles has also paid tribute to David Hockney and reflected on his One Direction days during his residency.
With two more shows to go at Wembley on July 3 and 4, 'Together, Together' will then take off for Brazil, Mexico, the US, and Australia later in the year. And if you haven't got your hands on Styles' album yet – well, what are you waiting for? NME has hailed it as "an album that you’ll really want to spend a lot of time with", praising Styles' bold new approach and liberating results.
