Headed to Acrisure Arena for Harry Styles' 'Love on Tour'? Here's what you should know
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Harry Styles fans, also known as "Harries," from across the Coachella Valley and beyond will flock to Acrisure Arena Tuesday and Wednesday for the pop singer's sold-out "Love on Tour" performances.
The English singer will close out the North American run of his tour with his stop in Palm Desert, as well as celebrate his 29th birthday on Wednesday. Both concerts will open with a performance from Madi Diaz.
But a "sign of the times" with two sold-out shows − Acrisure Arena has a capacity of 11,000 − includes lots of fans, traffic and chaotic energy. Lucky for those going, The Desert Sun has put together a handy guide on how to navigate "Harry's Vacation House" and see the Grammy-winning artist as smoothly as possible.
