With an early teens teenager - yes or no?
Do you think it’ll be a good show?
I think yes, husband thinks I’ve lost my mind (doesn’t actually care if I go but thinks it’s funny that I want to and can’t understand why).
Don’t want to ask teenager before I decide myself whether I think it’s worth the cost, in case she says yes and on reflection I decide against it….

I wouldnt spend 1k on a concert for 2 people (my ticket was about 75, my train ticket will probably be less than a tenner and ill probably spend another £20-25 on overpriced food or drink.)
The last concert i went to of his was a few years ago and it was great, not political at all

However without knowing your budget its impossible to say. There might be more reasonably priced resale tickets nearer the time.

Sorry should have explained better. No concerns about actual concerts, have taken her to a few!
Husband is bemused at the idea of dropping over £1k on seeing HS (only hospitality tickets left).
We spent a small fortune on Beyoncé and I’ll be honest, the atmosphere wasn’t great (her latest one, with the country theme and lots of political undertones) whereas I expected it to be amazing like the historic Beyoncé stuff. So my question was more whether HS is still lively, upbeat and likely to be a good party atmosphere or whether I’ve missed a Beyoncé style complete change for him too.

I just explained my question very badly, sorry!

If you both like concerts and are Harry Styles fans, then I’m sure you’ll have a fun time.

Of course it will be worth it. In our family there's an age range of 10yrs, teens to 50's going to see HS. Wembley is a great venue, try and get north side seats so the setting sun doesn't get in your face. Harry is a brilliant entertainer.

Possibly even a better runner though.

I am a pretty diehard indie alternative rock girl and have been to hundreds of gigs. The Harry Styles one in 2023 was easily in my top 5.

Yes if she likes him. My dd2's favourite singer (mine too!) is Conan Gray & we went to see him in 2024. She was 15 then. She also went to see Olivia Rodrigo with dd1 last year. Had a great time both times

Move heaven and earth to get there, you will love it. Have a good exit plan and know how you are getting home.

If they like Harry Styles, yes. If not, no.

If they like the music I’d take any age of child.
We’ve taken our children to big concerts from about 4.

I saw HS at Murrayfield in, it must have been 2023/24 with SIL and DD18 (at the time) and saw loads of under 10’s and many many teenage girls. Everyone had a great time and there was no trouble at all. HS’ crowd are unlikely to be hugely rowdy/drunk.

It was a bloody nightmare to get out at the end, as with a lot of gigs, and took ages but that was the only issue.

What are your husband’s actual concerns?

I’m going - with my adult daughters! We can’t wait def book the tickets

bookworm14 · 18/02/2026 19:05

Go for it. I’m going with my tween in June - can’t wait!

EmmaSummerHat · 18/02/2026 19:04

Would love to see him live! If your daughter wants to go then why not? 😃 If she doesn’t see if a friend will go with you. Don’t miss it if you want to go

Nomedshere · 18/02/2026 19:01

I went 2 years ago with dh...we were 65! Loved it!

Fizbosshoes · 18/02/2026 19:01

Yes!
What is potentially unreasonable about it.??

Prepare for an enormous crowd/queue and long wait getting out but otherwise what's not to like?
