Harry Styles Ends His 30-Night Madison Square Garden Run Dressed as Pizza Rat

Harry Styles finished his 30-night residency at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 31 in a furry brown onesie with oversized pink ears, a long tail and black sunglasses, carrying a giant foam slice of pizza. The costume was Pizza Rat, the subway rodent from a viral 2015 video, and it closed a run Variety called record-setting that began Aug. 26.

The week that followed added a voter registration tally, a newspaper issue and an earnings call.

Two nights of Harryween

The closing weekend was split into two themes. On Oct. 30, Styles opened as Elvis Presley while his band wore versions of his own Coachella, Met Gala and Grammy looks. For the encore he came out in his 2010 X Factor audition outfit and sang Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely," the song that carried him through that audition at 16.

The finale was built around New York. Variety reported that the band came out as local icons including the Statue of Liberty, Andy Warhol and Anna Wintour, and Billboard counted a hot dog and a taxi cab among them. Styles covered Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer" before returning to the setlist.

Knicks captain Jalen Brunson, the 2026 NBA Finals MVP, then walked out to present a banner marking the residency. "I just wanted to appear and congratulate you on your 30th night," Brunson said, returning a favor from the night Styles joined the Knicks for their own banner ceremony. The Garden also opened a "Defining Moments" exhibit of residency memorabilia on its sixth floor.

Wintour's Broadway pitch

Two days after the finale, Styles appeared in a special print edition of The Village Voice, with concert photos, pieces on openers Tinashe, Jamie xx, Caroline Polachek and Lainey Wilson, and a letter from Styles to the city. "The energy of the audiences, the openness, the dancing, the sheer joy, will never leave me; it altered me," he wrote.

The issue's most direct request came from Wintour, the former Vogue editor in chief, whose likeness a member of his band had worn two nights earlier. "Here's what I thought while watching Harry Styles at MSG: That man should be on Broadway," she wrote, before naming the show. "If I could make one pitch: Singin' in the Rain starring Harry Styles. It's a part he was born to play. It would run until the end of time."

What the run left behind

The residency also worked as a voter drive. HeadCount, the nonpartisan registration group, reported 108,061 voter actions and 33,284 new registrations from its tables and video board messaging at the Garden, ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Around the arena, Variety noted sponsor pop-up shops across lower Manhattan and fan-organized One Direction karaoke and a post-Harryween bar crawl.

The run also showed up in the Garden's books. On Nov. 4, MSG Entertainment reported revenue of $217.1 million for the three months ending Sept. 30, up 37% from a year earlier, and a record number of concerts at the arena for any single quarter. Sixteen of Styles' 30 shows fell inside that window, and the company's CFO told analysts it is in talks with other artists about future residencies.

Styles returns to the stage in late November in Australia. A 25-date extension of the tour begins April 2 in Phoenix and ends Aug. 28 with a third night at London's Wembley Stadium.
