The History of Concrete documentarian has been quietly filming singer’s historic Together, Together residency since August
Harry Styles has enlisted filmmaker John Wilson to create a documentary chronicling the singer’s ongoing Madison Square Garden residency.
In recent days, photos of Wilson — the acclaimed documentarian behind his own How To With John Wilson HBO series and The History of Concrete — following Styles with camera in hand emerged on social media, sparking fan speculation about a potential collaboration.
Variety has confirmed that the project is indeed a documentary about Styles’ Together, Together 30-show residency at MSG, which began in August — coinciding with Wilson’s start of filming — and continues through October 31.
departing from traditional documentary approaches, Wilson’s film will blend “live performances with intimate glimpses into Styles’ world,” Variety reported, noting that Wilson will explore the residency through “authentic human stories of everyone involved in the tour — from the singer and his fans to countless others behind the scenes.”

In the grand tradition of landmark music documentaries like Martin Scorsese’s The Last Waltz and Jonathan Demme’s Stop Making Sense, Wilson joins an impressive roster of high-profile filmmakers recently tapped for concert films: David Byrne enlisted The Brutalist director Brady Corbet to capture his Baltimore concert in 70mm, while Cameron Winter’s Carnegie Hall performance was filmed by Paul Thomas Anderson with assistance from Benny Safdie.
