Harry Styles setlist for Australian tour, more cheap tickets as he pays tribute to Daryl Braithwaite

This is Harry Styles’s Aussie set list and why a chance meeting could lead to him including a Daryl Braithwaite classic. Plus: Where you can get last-minute cheap tickets.

It has been a long five year wait for Harry Styles’ faithful Australian fans.

And his reward for our enduring loyalty is to include what he calls the “catnip” song, The Horses in his opening Australian show in Perth this week.

“I can feel the Aussie coursing through my veins,” Styles grinned after the song inspired a loud crowd singalong.

“You don’t hear that song very much but when you get here, it’s like catnip.”

While Harry fan Daryl Braithwaite made the song a hit here, he congratulated Styles on performing a version closer to the Rickie Lee Jones original which appeared on her Flying Cowboys record in 1989.

The pop star pair met each other briefly on Styles’ last tour.

“Really good. When we get people up to sing sometimes they try to embellish on the melody that is actually there, but Harry kept it as per the recording and he did a great job. All to him I reckon, it sounded great and it looked mighty,” Braithwaite told 2GB.

The last time Styles toured Australia in April 2018, he had released just one solo record and played four arena shows here on his Harry Styles: Live On Tour global run.

Tickets for his original Love On Tour shows for November 2020 went on sale just weeks after Covid forced the shutdown of all live entertainment and fans hung onto them desperately for two years before those concerts were finally cancelled.

In those two years, with the release of his second album Fine Line in 2019 and the Grammy winning third opus Harry’s House in May last year, Styles has become one of the world’s biggest male pop stars.

So the former One Direction member and his Australian promoter took the punt to upgrade from arenas to stadiums.

While gigs may be back in force in Australia, so are cost of living pressures. He is close to selling out his Gold Coast show next week at Metricon Stadium but there are still plenty of good seats on offer at the larger Melbourne and Sydney venues.

The cheapest seats in the top tier of the stadiums are $204.81 at Marvel Stadium this weekend, with first tier seated tickets for $350.

But if you want to catch a drop of Styles sweat, then tickets in the “kitchen”, “hallway” and “bedroom” standing sections at the front of the stage are $750.

At Sydney’s Accor Stadium, there are some cheaper options. The nosebleed seats are $107, the first seated tier will cost you $209 each and the front floor standing area are $349.

If you want to know if you’ll be getting your money’s worth in terms of the setlist, while Styles has tweaked the running order for the Australian leg of Love On Tour, it remains heavy on songs from the Harry’s House album, with 11 out of the record’s 13 tracks.

And there’s a nod to his boy band past with Styles including One Direction’s debut single, the fab What Makes You Beautiful in the set.
