Harry Styles’ fans flock to last Sydney concert at Accor Stadium

Harry Styles’ World Tour has drawn to a close with the superstar wrapping up in Sydney on Saturday night before jet-setting to New Zealand. Catch his playlist.

Hoardes of concert attendees were warned to expect “hour-long waits” leaving Olympic Park, after three concerts converged on Saturday night.

More than 115,000 people were expected to be at Olympic Park, after Harry Styles, Backstreet Boys, and Taiwanese singer Jay Chou all performed on the same evening.

Earlier in the day scores of fans have already flocked to Sydney ahead of UK megastar Harry Styles’ final Aussie show – one of three major events in the city tonight.

More than 100,000 people are expected at Sydney Olympic Park tonight for a last chance to see Styles, ‘90s boy band the Backstreet Boys and Jay Chou.

Early Saturday morning, fans ignored heavy showers to queue outside the venue. Styles is wrapping up the Australian leg of his world tour before heading to Auckland, New Zealand, next week.

His long-awaited tour was a huge success in Australia, with the acclaimed artist drawing in around 320,000 people across Perth, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Sydney.

Sydney fans received a special treat from Harry Styles last night after the pop star gifted the audience with a rare performance of his unreleased - and highly requested - song Medicine.

Styles first played the song during a 2018 concert but has refused to release the song on a record. Since then, the song has reached a legendary status among fans, with Styles only singing the song a handful of times since he first performed it.

Amelia Bradley, 25, said she didn’t expect the performance at all.

“People have signs for it and chant for it at every show, so it was surreal to actually experience it. Because he has never released it, it almost feels like an intimate moment between him and his closest fans. It was just incredible,” she said.

Many fans took to social media to express their disbelief at Medicines performance.

Transport for NSW, in preparation for the large crowds, sent out warnings in an effort to avoid the chaos which marred Styles’ sold-out Gold Coast show.

“Multiple other events are also being held in neighbouring venues on Saturday with an expected total crowd of more than 100,000 in the precinct … (fans) are strongly urged to catch public transport to avoid the traffic delays.”
