Harry Styles to hit the road with Kacey Musgraves, Leon Bridges, and Warpaint

Harry Styles has recruited Kacey Musgraves, Leon Bridges, and Warpaint as road buddies for his massive 2018 world tour.

The One Direction star personally picked his tour openers, and Musgraves won't be a big surprise for fans - Styles has been a big supporter of the edgy country star since 2014.

His Live on Tour trek - Harry's first as a solo artist - will begin in Basel, Switzerland in March (18), and include two dates at London's O2 Arena and a show at Manchester Arena - the site of last month's terror attack, which cost 22 people their lives.

A tour of Australia will begin in April (18) in Perth, while his 20 North American dates will begin with a show in Dallas, Texas on 5 June (18). The world tour will wrap up with a concert at the Los Angeles Forum on 13 July (18).

The Sign of the Times singer will warm up for next year's trek with dates in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Nashville, Chicago, New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Toronto, Canada in September and October (17).
