Harry Styles opened the 2026 BRIT Awards on Saturday with a live performance debut of his new single “Aperture.”

The singer channeled the movement-heavy music video for the single during the performance. He started sitting on a set of bleachers surrounded by dancers wearing black shades and T-shirts with snails on them. The dancers performed choreography mostly featuring elaborate hand gestures. Styles, dressed in a button-down shirt, tie, and high-waisted trousers, led the choreography before getting up and moving around the stage.


When it came time for the pre-chorus, Styles was joined by a choir. The dancers then met him in the middle of the stage for a finale, surrounding him as they waved their hands.

The appearance came in support of his upcoming album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, due out March 6. It marked his first live performance since the 2023 BRIT Awards, when he performed “As It Was” from Harry’s House.

He is also set to embark on a massive tour that features residencies across the globe, kicking off May 16 in Amsterdam. The trek includes a 30-date residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden; the record-breaking demand for those tickets led Styles to add more European shows.

But before that, Styles will pull double-duty as both host and musical guest at Saturday Night Live on March 14.
