British pop star Harry Styles will come back to Dallas as part of his 2020 Love On Tour in support of his upcoming sophomore solo album, Fine Line. He'll play at American Airlines Center on Thursday, August 13, 2020.

The tour, kicking off in his native United Kingdom on April 15, initially will visit 19 countries over the course of six months. Styles will also make stops at Toyota Center in Houston on August 10 and AT&T Center in San Antonio on August 11.

Styles graced the Dallas area with two dates on his last tour, playing at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving in 2017 and coming back to play American Airlines Center in 2018. The former One Direction member will be joined by singer/songwriter Jenny Lewis on all North American dates for this tour.

Fans will be able to get a double dose of Styles when he serves as both host and musical guest on this weekend's Saturday Night Live on NBC. He'll perform his new single, "Lights Up," off of Fine Line, which is scheduled for release on December 13. Don't pre-order the album, though, as each concert ticket purchased online comes with a CD copy of Fine Line.
