HARRY Styles has denied reports he is in final talks to do a Vegas residency like Adele’s ahead of his music return.

According to The New York Post, Harry, 31, was rumoured to be in last minute negotiations about fronting a string of gigs at The Sphere spanning up to 35 shows, two years after his last tour.

It would mark Harry’s biggest return to live music since Love On Tour, which ran from 2021 to 2023 in support of his albums Fine Line and Harry’s House.

However, sources close to Harry Styles have rubbished the claims.

And a statement has since been released via Billboard, saying that the residency was never in discussion.

It reads: “To set the record straight, there has never been plans for Harry Styles to perform at Sphere.”

It would have seen the pop star follow in the footsteps of Adele, who was a massive success at Caesars Palace with her Weekends With Adele residency – earning her a tidy $2 million per night.

Originally set for 24 shows, overwhelming demand saw the run extended multiple times, with the songstress wrapping in November 2024 after 100 performances.

Securing Harry would be a major win for The Sphere, following U2’s 40-show residency, which launched the $2.3 billion venue in 2023.

A source said: “For the Sphere to continue to be on everyone’s radar, they need to book some real ‘live’ artists like Styles.

“Almost everything at the Sphere has been geared for the 60-and-over crowd — The Eagles and The Dead, and even U2.”

The Sphere is owned by billionaire James Dolan, who also runs Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks, and the Rangers.

Last year, James was close to securing a deal with Beyoncé, but those talks ultimately fell through.

However, James has a strong history with Harry.

The British singer played 15 consecutive sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in 2022 – an achievement that led to a banner being raised in his honour.

There is also a key industry connection that makes this deal likely. Harry is managed by Jeffrey Azoff, whose father, Irving, has a longstanding relationship with James.

Irving represents U2, The Eagles, and Dead & Co., all of whom have had residencies at The Sphere.

While financial details for a potential deal remain unclear, The Sphere is known for offering lucrative contracts.

U2 received $10 million to produce their residency, while Live Nation guaranteed the band $4 million per show, regardless of ticket sales.

Over their seven-month run, they reportedly earned around $170 million.

When contacted by The Post, a Sphere representative said: “We do not comment on any artists performing at Sphere except for those who have been announced.”
