HARRY STYLES Will Play No Less Than 30 Concerts In Madison Square Garden In New York

23 January 2026

British mega star HARRY STYLES has announced 30 concerts in
Madison Square Garden in New York as part of a seven-city,
three-continent tour.

His brand new single ‘Aperture’.

30 shows in the same venue, from August until
October. Really? Most likely an absolute record.

That’s 30 x 22,000 = 660,000 people.

Wait, Michael Jackson could have had the record.
From 2009 to March 2010, 50 (!!) concerts in
London‘s O2 Arena were planned.

That’s 50 X 20,000 = 1 million people.

Unfortunately the shows had to be cancelled
as Jackson passed away in June 2009.

myself.”

PAVEMENT Ready For Some More Gold Soundz On The Road

13 January 2026

Slacker rock champs PAVEMENT formed in Stockton, California in
1989 and became one of the most compelling indie bands of the 90s.

After 5 albums, they split up in 1999.

Ten years later, in 2019, they announced a couple of reunion shows, but
Covid prevented that. Eventually, at the end of 2022, they played shows
in Europe and America and then just flew around the world into 2024.

And the Pavement virus didn’t go away.

In September 2024, a musical biopic concert
film, titled Pavements came out.

And the band is now ready again to do some
shows in North America next summer.
