The concert series is named "Apple Music Live" and is reminiscent of the "iTunes Festival" (later rebranded as the "Apple Music Festival"), a free annual concert series that Apple hosted and streamed live from London between 2007 and 2016. In a tweet, Apple promised that it will stream concerts from some of the world's "favorite artists."

Styles' concert will be available to stream via the Apple Music app starting Friday at 9 p.m. Eastern Time, with encore streams of the performance on May 22 at 12 p.m. Eastern Time and on May 26 at 5 a.m. Eastern Time, according to Engadget. It is unclear if any "Apple Music Live" concerts will be available for on-demand replay.

Styles will be releasing his new album titled "Harry's House" on the same day as the performance.

Hoping it won't be limited to pop and rap music. It'd be great to have some jazz, blues and classical concerts.

Bring back the month-long iTunes festival! That was great. Just don't name it The Music Festival.

I am not the target market here, but can I ask you music fans a question?

If you aren't seeing an artist in person, wouldn't a studio recording be more enjoyable to listen to?
I love live and studio recordings equally. Live recordings usually show me the true talent of a musician.

I hope his musical decisions are better than his tattoo decisions.

Im 51 yrs old and I love this kid's music and talent. He clearly knows what he wants and what he's doing in terms of music making. I can't believe that he, a 28 yo guy delivers a very nostalgic 70s or 80s vibe in each and every one of his songs with the proper amount of today pop sound, i don't know how he does it but he delivers and with extremely good quality. It helps that he not only have a very good voice but also a very good writer and arranger, he actually knows music.

Same I can say of Billie Eilish and her music but under other emotional sound circumstances, she's is very talented and a good writer and makes surprisingly good stuff under her own terms and delivers. Girl rocks.

Having said that, you shouldn't be afraid to listen to music that is not "my target market", be adventurous, get out of your comfort zone, you'll be surprised.
