Harry Styles is performing for a record-breaking 12 nights at Wembley Stadium, which follows 10 in Amsterdam. He will go on to do four nights in São Paulo, six in Mexico City and a mammoth 30 nights in New York, ending with four in Melbourne and two in Sydney, Australia.

“I chose to photograph fans arriving at Harry Styles’s concert at Wembley because I was interested in the sense of community and self-expression that surrounds live music events,” said photographer Gareth Cattermole.

“Rather than focusing on the performance itself, I wanted to capture the excitement and anticipation before the show, when fans were arriving, socialising and showcasing their personalities through what they wore.

“Using Polaroid film encouraged me to slow down and be selective with each photograph, giving the images a candid, personal quality.

“I concentrated on small details, particularly the handmade outfits, accessories and humorous slogans on T-shirts, reflecting the creativity and shared culture of Harry Styles’s fan community, documenting the event but also the people who helped create its unique atmosphere.”
