Harry Styles is set to serve as host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live (SNL).
The former One Direction singer will appear on the long running US sketch show on March 14, which will mark the second time that he will pull "double duty" on the show, having previously featured on it in 2019.
This comes as Styles is to release his highly anticipated fourth album, 'Kiss All the Time. Disco', which arrives next Friday (March 6).
The singer confirmed this news by sharing a photo on Instagram earlier this week, showing his name in both the host and musical guest slot. Referring to where the popular sketch show is filmed, Styles added the caption: “I love NYC. March 14".

This comes as Styles had announced a run of listening parties for his album.
Arriving on March 6, the album will be produced by Kid Harpoon, and is his first release since 'Harry's House' in 2022. These listening parties take place across a run of '40 cities', having already started on February 18. More on this here.
Last week, Styles received huge backlash over comments he made about his time living in Rome, which saw critics brand him as "privileged" and "tone deaf".
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Styles was quoted as saying: “When I was in Rome, the city just taught me how to slow down.
This did not go down well with some viewers, with one local resident saying: “The privilege to call Italian life ‘slow’ is so ironic. You are privileged to sit down and sip your coffee in comfort somewhere in Italy because you are a wealthy man, not because you’re in Italy".
Another added: “You only get to enjoy a slow f***** life in Rome if you’re a tourist bro, living here is absolute hell, spare us this live long laugh b*******.”*
