Harry Styles Reportedly in Final Talks for 35-Show Residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas
Las Vegas has long been the home of some of the most iconic music residencies in the world.
From Britney Spears and Celine Dion to Adele, the city has proven itself as the ultimate destination for legendary performers looking to give their fans a truly unforgettable live experience.
Now, Harry Styles, the British pop sensation known for hits like "Watermelon Sugar" and his time as a member of One Direction, is reportedly on the verge of sealing a deal for a major residency at The Sphere, the state-of-the-art venue in Las Vegas.

Sources close to the negotiations say that Styles is in the final stages of discussions to perform as many as 35 shows at The Sphere, with the residency potentially kicking off as soon as the second half of the year.
The residency would mark a significant milestone for The Sphere, which opened its doors in 2023 with a groundbreaking 40-show residency by U2.
While the venue has drawn attention for its immersive technology and stunning visuals, booking a younger, pop-oriented artist like Styles would provide a much-needed boost to the venue's appeal to a wider, younger audience.
The Sphere, which cost $2.3 billion to construct, is considered one of the most advanced concert venues in the world.
Its cutting-edge technology allows for immersive, 360-degree visuals, transforming the concert experience into something unlike anything seen before. The venue has already seen success with U2's residency, but to keep the momentum going, it's essential for The Sphere to continue attracting top-tier talent like Styles.
While acts such as U2, The Eagles, and The Dead have been associated with the venue, drawing in a younger crowd with an artist like Styles would be a significant step toward expanding its demographic.
Styles, who has made a name for himself both as a solo artist and as a former member of One Direction, has built a reputation for electrifying live performances.
His 'Love On Tour' between 2022 and 2023 grossed an impressive $617 million, further cementing his status as one of the biggest stars in the world.
Although Styles has largely remained out of the public eye since the tragic death of One Direction bandmate Liam Payne in October 2024, he has still kept busy with personal projects.
In February, he ran the Tokyo Marathon, showing his continued commitment to his personal goals.
Should Styles officially sign on for a Las Vegas residency, it would be a game-changer for The Sphere, adding another high-profile artist to its roster.
For the venue, bringing in an artist of Styles' caliber would ensure its continued relevance in the competitive world of Las Vegas residencies. For Styles, it would be yet another opportunity to connect with his massive fanbase in a city known for its legendary shows and world-class performances.

The ‘Keynote Speaker'
A keynote speaker is typically the main speaker at an event, conference or meeting, and their speech is often the highlight of the program. Therefore, the keynote speaker has to be chosen carefully with the following characteristics in mind: Expertise: Keynote speakers are often experts in their field, with a deep understanding of the topic they are speaking about. Charisma: A good keynote speaker is engaging, charismatic, and able to hold the audience's attention. Inspiration: Keynote speakers often aim to inspire and motivate their audience, leaving a lasting impression. Storytelling: Many keynote speakers use storytelling techniques to make their message more relatable. Unfortunately, Pakistan has a dearth of meaningful keynote speakers. Some great speakers of yore are still around, but slowly losing their relevance. The young generation wants to hear new ideas and concepts. They want verve, vibe and excitement. But the people who know rarely speak and those that speak rarely know. The current restrictions on free expression have become a worldwide trend. But amusing anecdotes abound. At the height of the decolonization era, circa 1956, Lancaster House London was a happening place. One evening, a leader of a large African state, soon to be independent, was the chief guest and keynote speaker at a dinner. He was seated to the right of the British Prime Minister as per tradition. Seated next to him was a London matron, a highly influential politician. In an effort to keep the African leader engaged she quietly asked him 'You like soupee, soupee?' (when the soup was served). He nodded his head yes, yes. So on as the meal progressed. 'You like fishy, fishy?' 'You like sweety, sweety?' (dessert). After dinner it was the African leader's turn to speak. He walked to the rostrum and delivered a 20-minute address in immaculate English. A standing ovation. He returned to his seat, turned to the lady and asked politely 'you like speechee, speechee?' Winston Churchill was an epic orator (much has been written on the subject in this newspaper). One of his lesser-known quips –Churchill absolutely did not like Harold MacMillan. It was mutual. One afternoon Churchill was standing outside Westminster with two party colleagues. A London taxi pulled up. Churchill remarked, 'aah an empty taxi. Soon Harold MacMillian will emerge'. Keynote speakers should hail from a wide spectrum, depending on the host organization: Industry Experts: Specialist in a particular field sharing knowledge and insights. Thought leaders: Visionaries who challenged conventional wisdom and offer new perspectives. Motivational speakers: Speakers who focus on inspiring and motivating their audience. Celebrity speakers: Well-known personalities who share their experiences and insights. As the Executive Director of the Management Association of Pakistan (2000 - 2008) I constantly faced the dilemma of credible keynote speakers. Two instances stand out. In September 2001, MAP (Management Association of Pakistan) had invited Maurice Flanagan, Executive Vice Chairman of Emirates Airlines. I had cultivated Maurice very carefully as a supporter of MAP and Pakistan. After the seminar Maurice Flanagan and myself were to fly to Islamabad. The next morning Maurice was to have a serious meeting with President Pervaiz Musharraf and his team. The agenda: to increase the intake of aviation professionals from Pakistan into Emirates Airlines. A significant step. The Karachi event was planned for 14 September 2001. Unfortunately, the New York event happened on 9/11. Our event in Karachi was cancelled. Much later MAP was planning a major seminar on geopolitics. I had written to Mr. Colin Powell, the then secretary of state of US government, but was not hopeful of a response. Eventually, we (MAP) did receive a letter from Secretary Powell, signed by him, politely declining the event due to prior commitments, but committing to sending a senior official from the State Department. I later learned that Secretary Powell's office made an inquiry from the US Embassy in Islamabad/Karachi about the credentials of the Management Association. They received positive feedback. Secretary Powell passed away a few years ago. RIP. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025

Jessie J reveals early breast cancer diagnosis before "No Secrets" release
British singer-songwriter Jessie J has opened up about her battle with early breast cancer, revealing that she was diagnosed prior to the release of her track "No Secrets" in April. The singer, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, shared the news with her followers on Instagram on Tuesday. 'I was diagnosed with early breast cancer before 'No Secrets' came out,' Jessie J explained in her post, emphasising the importance of the word "early." Despite the diagnosis, Jessie expressed gratitude for the early detection, acknowledging the difficulties of cancer while focusing on the positive aspects of her situation. The singer has been undergoing a series of tests since the release of her song, and she explained that she decided to be open about her journey for a personal reason. 'I just wanted to be open and share it because selfishly, I do not talk about it enough,' she said. Jessie J also noted how sharing her experiences in the past has helped her connect with others facing similar challenges. Despite the situation, the singer found humour in the coincidence of releasing No Secrets alongside her personal health battle, saying, 'It's a weird topic and a weird situation.'
