Styles shuffles set times amid uk heatwave – wembley shows now kick off at 8:05 pm
The relentless UK heatwave has thrown a significant curveball into Harry Styles’ Together, Together residency at Wembley Stadium, forcing a change to his performance schedule. Fans heading to the show this week can expect a later start time, and a slightly altered experience altogether.
New start time: 8:05 pm
Previously, Styles was taking to the stage around 8:15 PM. This adjustment, implemented to mitigate the impact of the extreme temperatures – officially designated a red weather warning – ensures the concerts can proceed without cancellation. The shift means the remaining shows, scheduled to conclude on August 27th, will likely finish around 10:15 PM, with a potential latest end time of 10:30 PM.
Shania twain still warming up the crowd
Despite the schedule tweak, the energy remains high. Shania Twain, Styles’ support act, continues her nightly warm-up routine, arriving on stage at 6:45 PM to get the crowd buzzing.
Water bottle policy – a relief for attendees
Fortunately, fans won’t have to rely solely on pricey bottled water. Wembley has relaxed its restrictions, now permitting guests to bring in 500ml metal or hard plastic water bottles, which can be refilled at strategically placed free water stations throughout the stadium. Bottled water will be available at a reduced 50% price. However, attendees are advised to check the official Wembley website for the latest updates, as policies are subject to change.
Staying cool in the scorching heat
Beyond hydration, Wembley is advising attendees to prioritize their well-being. Taking frequent breaks in shaded areas, applying sunscreen liberally, and opting for loose, breathable clothing are crucial. Excessive alcohol consumption is also discouraged. The message is clear: prioritize safety and comfort amidst this unprecedented heat.
A shift, not a cancellation
This isn't a cancellation; it’s a strategic adjustment. The Together, Together tour will continue, albeit with a slightly later start, demonstrating Styles' commitment to delivering a live experience despite the challenging weather conditions. This particular heatwave, described as “unbearable, sticky, depths-of-Mordor kind of hot,” has undoubtedly impacted the 2023 summer season across the UK.
