We just entered the second quarter of the year and that means our most favorite season has started. Summer brings us opportunities to travel, get connected with friends and enjoy sunsets from different parts of the country. Also, this is the season where great concerts are happening and one of these is the much anticipated arrival of none other than Harry Styles in the Philippines! Writing this feature makes me wanna fast forward to May 1 to finally see it happening before my eyes! This debut concert tour by Harry Styles is for his self-titled debut album. I’ve been listening to this album since it was released and all the tracks are worth listening.
You guys know I love covering great concerts and to be honest, I am equally excited to see Harry Styles just like when I saw Madonna when she visited here. You can read my Rebel heart experience HERE.
Harry Styles kicked off his world tour in San Francisco, consisting of over 80 concerts throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and South America until July 2018.
