It’s been two years since Love On Tour wrapped, and while Harry Styles has kept fans guessing ever since, his silence may finally be ending.

After a low-key 2025 filled with travel, some random marathon sightings and stylishly holding hands with Zoë Kravitz, all signs are now pointing to a big 2026 return for the “Watermelon Sugar” singer.

While Styles has stayed publicly quiet, Deuxmoi has hinted that something major is brewing. Back in April, the gossip account shared on its Deux/U podcast that Harry had been working on new music — and then scrapped it. Around the same time, the singer was spotted frequently in Europe, particularly Berlin, sparking curiosity about whether the city’s club scene (yes, including Berghain) might influence his next sound.

By fall, the whispers got louder. In an October Deuxmoi newsletter, a source claimed new music wasn’t far off. Then, during the November 20 Deux/U podcast episode, Deuxmoi alleged that Styles had recently shot the cover for his next album in London.

Things escalated again in December when Deuxmoi reported that “Harry Styles [is] doing 12 stadium shows in 2026 (and more in 2027) in the UK.” While unconfirmed, fans can’t help but be hopeful that HS4 is upon us.

Is the Album Finished?

According to an Australian radio show, absolutely. On “Fifi, Fev & Nick,” hosts claimed Styles has already finished the album and wrote it entirely on a typewriter. Unexpected? Yes. Confirmed? Not exactly.

A more grounded hint came from Ed Sheeran, who said backstage at the BRIT Awards earlier this year that he’d “heard a little bit” of Styles’ new music. While he added he has “no idea when it comes out,” Sheeran reassured fans that the material is “quality.”

Styles has also been spotted around fellow musicians lately, including Fred again.., HAIM and Olivia Dean, as well as reuniting with his Love On Tour bandmates and producer Kid Harpoon in Germany.

When Would the New Album Be Released?

Some Reddit sleuths believe an EP could arrive as early as January 2026, followed by a full album in March. Others point out Styles’ pattern of releasing albums every two to three years, which would place HS4 squarely in late 2025 or early 2026.

Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, but between studio sightings, tour rumors and increasingly confident insiders, Harry’s next era feels closer than ever.
