That's PRD takes a look at the best of the month in Hong Kong:
May 5: Harry Styles Live on Tour
The 24-year-old One Direction alum added 56 more dates to his first world tour, in response to demand from fans. The young heart-throb still plays some of the boy band’s songs, but more recent works from his self-titled album offer, in Variety’s words, a "classic cocktail of psychedelia, Britpop, and balladry.” Whether or not you swoon over his looks, the princeling of British pop performs with a confidence and clarity we can all enjoy.
