The news comes as Styles prepares for his Harry's House tour. He'll preview his summer set this weekend at Coachella, where he's scheduled to headline alongside Billie Eilish, the Weeknd, and Swedish House Mafia following Kanye West's late departure from the lineup. And in June, he'll kick off an intensive European tour with several Mitski-supported stadium shows in the UK.
