Harry Styles’ Tour Band Features Two Couples: All About Their Romances
What To Know
- Harry Styles’ current Together, Together tour features two couples in his band.
- Guitarist Mitch Rowland and drummer Sarah Jones are married, and bassist Elin Sandberg and guitarist Juan Ariza are in a relationship.
- Rowland and Jones met while rehearsing for Styles’ first tour.
Harry Styles has taken over Madison Square Garden in New York City, and he has not one, but two couples joining him on stage every night for the Together, Together tour.
That may not come as a surprise to fans who did a deep dive into Styles’ bandmates during his Love On Tour, which took place from September 2021 to July 2023. But in the case of this year’s first-time tour attendees, all the relationships in Styles’ band may be news to you. Or maybe they’ve flown under the radar amidst all the developments in the love life of Styles himself. His fiancée, Zoe Kravïtz, was cheering him on in the audience at his first MSG date.
Regardless, you can get to know the power couples rocking out in the iconic arena over the next couple of months — guitarist Mitch Rowland and drummer Sarah Jones, as well as bassist Elin Sandberg and guitarist Juan Ariza — below.

Mitch Rowland and Sarah Jones
Rowland and Jones, both longtime collaborators of Styles’, are the more famous couple of the two, having met while rehearsing for Styles’ first 2017 tour. “You could see it happening, so when they met in rehearsal,” Styles said in an interview with Howard Stern, launching into the story of the beginning of his bandmates’ relationship.
Rowland moved to London, and Styles introduced him to his friends who lived upstairs from him. “They start taking him out and showing him around and stuff, and so Mitch starts going out with them, and every night, they’d tell me like, ‘Mitch was crazy last night…” Styles recalled. “And then I remember a couple nights, I was like, ‘What did Mitch do last night?’ And they were like, ‘I dunno, we didn’t see him. So then I’d ask Mitch, and he’d be like, ‘Oh, I just got dinner with Sarah.'”
Over the weeks Rowland and Jones rehearsed with him, Styles noticed a change. “He would kind of just start slowly rotating until they were just staring at each other the whole time we would play,” he recalled.
In 2021, Jones performed with Styles at the Grammys while pregnant. She and Rowland welcomed their first son in March 2021, and they had another child together in 2024. When Rowland started making solo music, he told Clash, “You have any amount of time to make your first record, but with the second one, I’d added a baby and a three-year-old. Now, that speeds things up! I had to work very quickly, and I enjoyed not scratching my head so much.”

Rowland worked with his now-wife on his 2023 album, Come June. When they aren’t touring or making music together, they live with their family in the small English village where Jones grew up, per Rolling Stone. Their kids are music fans, too, and Rowland told the magazine that they bring them to shows — including Styles’.

Juan Ariza and Elin Sandberg
In 2020, Sandberg celebrated five years of being with Ariza. “My partner through this crazy life, my rock and my very own comedian who also even braves winter in Sweden with me,” she wrote in an Instagram caption. “I’m one lucky gal!! Here’s to many more.”
Like their fellow bandmates, Ariza and Sandberg are musical collaborators. They also make music as a duo under the same Coy Panda. During Love On Tour, they opened for Styles at Wembley Stadium on June 14, 2023.
