Harry Styles Set to Host and Perform on Saturday Night Live Following New Album Release

Harry Styles will return to NBC's "Saturday Night Live" as both host and musical guest, the network announced Monday. The episode will air live from New York on March 14, eight days after the release of Styles' upcoming album, "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally," which is scheduled for release on March 6.

This marks Styles' first appearance on "SNL" since November 2019, when he also served as both host and musical guest ahead of the release of his album "Fine Line." During that episode, the former One Direction member performed his hit singles "Watermelon Sugar" and "Lights Up," and participated in several sketches.

"Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally" features 12 tracks, including the lead single "Aperture," which has topped the Billboard Hot 100. The album's release will be followed by Styles' Together, Together residency tour, which includes a 30-date run at Madison Square Garden in New York beginning in March.

"SNL" is currently in its 51st season. The March 14 episode follows the show's return from a winter hiatus on Feb. 28, which will be hosted by Connor Storrie of Heated Rivalry, with Mumford & Sons as the musical guest. So far this season, hosts have included Ariana Grande, Finn Wolfhard, Teyana Taylor and Alexander Skarsg rd, with musical guests such as Cardi B, Geese, Cher and Sombr.

NBC has not yet announced additional hosts or musical guests for upcoming episodes.
