New Harry Styles song previewed by Fred Again.. at London’s Alexandra Palace

A new Harry Styles song was previewed by Fred again.. at his concert at London’s Alexandra Palace on Thursday night (26.02.26).

The brief clip uploaded by a fan featured strings and Harry singing: “We sleep half the night with your head on my chest, me and you/There’s only me and you.”

Fans have determined that the track is called Coming Up Roses, after it was previewed at one of Harry’s album listening parties for his hotly anticipated fourth solo album, Kiss All The Time. Dance, Occasionally., which is released on March 6.

So far, fans have heard the lead single, Aperture.

The preview comes ahead of Harry’s performance at the BRIT Awards on Saturday (28.02.26), where the former One Direction star will debut new music from the follow-up to 2022’s Harry’s House.

Meanwhile, Harry’s huge comeback year will see him curate the 2026 Meltdown Festival.

The legendary venue, which hosts the annual event, London’s Southbank Centre, is celebrating its 75th year in style with a lineup chosen by one of pop’s biggest stars.

He said in a statement: “I’m deeply honoured to curate the Meltdown festival, especially for the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary year. My goal as the curator is to share the music and art that I love, and to celebrate the rich history of the venue.”

Scheduled for June 11–21, the bill is expected to be confirmed this spring.

The 32-year-old star added: “It brings us together and the Southbank Centre has been at the heart of it, providing easy access to great music for the past 75 years.

“I’m incredibly grateful to Southbank for having me, it’s really exciting for me to have this opportunity in such an iconic venue.”

The venue’s artistic director, Mark Ball, is “thrilled” to have bagged one of the most “iconic British” artists for the milestone event.

Jane Beese, Head of Contemporary Music, commented: “His openness, warmth and instinct for collaboration feel perfectly aligned with the spirit at the heart of the festival.

“We’re excited to see his vision play out across the whole site, creating space for connection, discovery and joy, and inviting audiences into a Meltdown that reflects the breadth, playfulness and generosity of his artistic world.”

The Aperture singer follows in the footsteps of famous artists, including David Bowie, Nick Cave, Patti Smith, Robert Smith, David Byrne, Yoko Ono, and Massive Attack, in curating Meltdown.

Harry will also embark on the mammoth Together, Together stadium tour, including residencies at London’s Wembley Stadium and New York’s Madison Square Garden.

The run currently kicks off in May and runs through to December 2026.
