Harry Styles will perform a dual role on "Saturday Night Live" for the second time in his career. On March 14, the artist will serve as both the host and the musical guest for the episode, which will air one week after the release of his new album. He previously held this dual role in November 2019, and he appeared on the show three times with One Direction.

Date of the Dual SNL Appearance

Harry Styles will appear as both host and musical guest on 'Saturday Night Live' on March 14, 2026.

Release of the Artist's New Album

The appearance will take place one week after the release of Styles's fourth solo album 'Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally,' scheduled for March 6.

Repeating the Success of 2019

This is the second time the artist has taken on the dual role on SNL; he previously did so in November 2019.

Promotion of the Single 'Aperture'

The album was previewed with the single 'Aperture,' which has already been released.

British singer and former member of the boyband One Direction Harry Styles will return to Studio 8H at NBC's New York headquarters on March 14, 2026, to host and perform on the legendary comedy show "Saturday Night Live" for the second time in his career. The information was confirmed on Thursday by three American industry outlets: Variety, Deadline, and Rolling Stone. All sources report the same date and nature of the appearance, indicating official confirmation from the network. The SNL appearance will be a key element in promoting the artist's fourth solo album, titled "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally". The album is set for release on March 6, just one week before the show airs. The album has already been previewed with the single "Aperture". For Styles, this will be his fifth overall appearance on "Saturday Night Live". He first appeared there as a member of One Direction in 2012. As a solo artist, he was the musical guest in 2017 and 2019, and in the latter year, he combined the roles of host and performer for the first time. The program "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) debuted on NBC on October 11, 1975. Over the decades, it has become an iconic institution of American television, serving as a career launchpad for many comedians and an important promotional stop for the biggest stars in music and film. The tradition of the "dual role," where the same person is both host and musical guest, is relatively rare and reserved for artists with exceptional stage talent and recognition. The announcement has predictably caused significant excitement among fans, especially since Styles's previous dual appearance in November 2019 was very well received by both viewers and critics. At that time, the artist performed the songs "Lights Up" and "Watermelon Sugar" from his then-latest album "Fine Line," and also portrayed various characters in sketches. His comedic skills and natural charisma on camera were highly praised. The March 14 episode will therefore test whether the artist can maintain that level and serve as an important trial for the popularity of his new, more disco-inspired musical material with a broader television audience.
