It’s probably going to be a while before we see Harry Styles back on stage in Manchester – he’s a busy man, you know.
But fans of the global pop sensation can get something of a Styles fix this weekend regardless, in the form of a club night dedicated to him.
The Harry-Oke event will be taking over one of the city centre’s best-loved club spaces for an evening of pure, unadulterated Harry Styles content.
The playlist will feature all the hits from his three studio albums, as well as delving back further to the One Direction days.
They even play the lyrics on giant screens, if you’re not as well-versed in the Harry Styles discography as you ought to be.

They say: “Harry’s House Party presents HARRY-OKE! A party like no other playing Harry Styles and One Direction songs ALL NIGHT LONG with ‘Sing It All Back’ karaoke lyrics on a giant screen!

“(We know you don’t need the lyrics but there’s more to it than that) it’s a mass crowd singalong and it gets LOUD!
“From the creators behind the original One Direction Party 1DPARTY.com having thrown 1D nights for the past 6 years all over the UK and Australia but now with our new big screen we’ve really transformed these events into a super unique visual club night that you won’t find anywhere else.”
The event will run from 11pm until 4am, and you might be thinking there can’t possibly be enough Harry Styles music to fill all that space.
But wait til you factor in the FIVE studio albums he appeared on as a fifth of One Direction following their X Factor career.
If Harry’s summer gigs at the Emirates Old Trafford are anything to go by, Gorilla will be awash with people wearing feather boas, pink cowboy hats and flared trousers. Immaculate vibes.
Harry’s House Party will bring their Harry-oke event to Gorilla on Saturday 5 November – final tickets are on sale here.

Three men charged with murder after teenager is fatally stabbed in Withington
Emily Sergeant
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has confirmed that three men have been charged with murder after a teenager was stabbed to death in Withington last month.
The 17-year-old victim – who has been named as Kyle Hackland – was stabbed at around 11:30am on Southlea Road in Withington on Tuesday 22 November, and sadly passed away from his injuries shortly after he was taken to hospital.
GMP said at the time that it did not believe the incident was “a random attack”.
Shortly after making that announcement, the force confirmed that on Thursday 24 November, a teenager handed himself in to North Manchester Police Station, with a second teenager then handing himself in to Cheadle Heath Police Station later on the same day, and both being arrested shortly after.
On top of that, a third teenager was arrested at an address in Wythenshawe on suspicion of assault, possession of an offensive weapon, and affray.
After confirming that three arrests had been made in connection with the devastating incident, GMP said its Major Incident Team were conducting an “extensive and thorough investigation” to establish circumstances and find out who is responsible.
Now, the force has confirmed that on Monday, three men have been charged in connection with this incident.
They have been named as Yusef Sesay (24/11/2004) of Denton Road in Audenshaw, Lewis Ludford (05/12/2004) of no fixed abode, and a 16-year-old male – who cannot be named for legal reasons.
They have all been remanded in custody and appeared before Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court yesterday.

Health Secretary insists there’s ‘no shortage’ of antibiotics amid Strep A outbreak
Daisy Jackson
Health Secretary Steve Barclay has addressed claims that there is a ‘shortage’ of antibiotics amid the ongoing outbreak of bacterial infection Strep A.
Barclay appeared on Sky News this morning, where he told Kay Burley that there was a ‘good supply’ of antibiotics.
It comes after pharmacy director Zeshan Rehmani claimed that ‘there’s no drugs’ when the schools minister Nick Gibb proposed giving out antibiotics to children in schools.
Rehmani said: “Today, we haven’t been able to get any penicillin in stock at all.”
But Barclay has now refuted those claims and says he’s been assured that the country has a ‘good supply’ of Penicillin.
He added that stock may need to be moved around if there are surges in demand in certain areas.

Antibiotics can be prescribed to treat infections linked to Strep A, including tonsillitis, pharyngitis, scarlet fever, impetigo and cellulitis, which ‘rarely become serious’.
Nine children have now died from an illness linked to the infection.
The rise in infections is thought to be linked to that fact that children mixed less during the Covid pandemic and therefore their systems aren’t immune to a number of different infections.
Barclay said today: “I checked with the team last night – we have an established team in the department that does this on a permanent basis – and they reassured me we have good supply.

“The medical suppliers are required to notify us if they’ve got shortages.
“Now, sometimes, GPs can have particular surges if they’ve got a lot of demand in an area, and that’s quite routine, we can move the stock around our depots.
“As of last night, when we checked (with suppliers), they said they could reassure us that they’ve got good stock and were moving that around to meet demand.”
