Harry Styles Voices Support for Palestinians at Together, Together Show in Amsterdam

Harry Styles signaled his support for Palestinian people during the kickoff weekend of his Together, Together tour in Amsterdam.

In a video posted Sunday (May 17) — the same day the pop star played the second of 10 total shows at Johan Cruyff Arena — a fan in the crowd yells, “Viva Palestina!”

The shouting fan visibly draws Styles’ attention. In response, he says decisively, “Correct.”

With just one word, the singer has made it clear how he feels about the conflict in the Middle East, which reached a boiling point in 2023 after approximately 1,200 Israelis were killed and 251 taken hostage in the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks. Israel immediately retaliated, killing an estimated 71,000-plus Palestinians since the war in Gaza began. A ceasefire was brokered this past October, but the Palestinian Ministry of Health reports that more than 850 people have been killed in Israel’s ongoing strikes in Gaza.

Styles doesn’t often speak out about his political views, but he has encouraged his fanbase to get involved. In 2022, he made headlines for helping to register more than 54,000 new voters ahead of that year’s midterms by partnering with HeadCount on his Love on Tour.

The Grammy winner is now back on the road in support of his Billboard 200-topping album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, which dropped in March and spawned Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single “Aperture.” After closing out his time in Amsterdam in June, Styles will play a series of mini-residencies in London, São Paulo, Mexico City and New York City before closing out the trek in Australia with stops in both Melbourne and Sydney.
