All dates listed for CEST (Central European Summer Time).
Sunday, August 20
Louis
The Cribs shared this photo with a sweaty Louis from AFHF
The Mirror published an article about the tattoo artists who followed Louis around during his US tour leg
Larry
An online magazine published an article titled “Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson met in a very weird way” (which in itself alone is already 👀) and then the band THE ACADEMIC (who opened for Louis during the US tour leg) RETWEETED a fan’s tweet about it?
AND THEN the band The Cribs LIKED a fan’s tweet calling the sweaty-Louis photo “catnip for Harry Styles”
in short: Looks like the support bands know (first hand?) that #larryisreal

Louis
Louis liked an Instagram post by The Cribs (screenshot)
Louis did a photo dump on Instagram of pics Joshua had taken during AFHF, hinting that the next AFHF will be outside of Europe (his post)
HLD shared a photo of “Louis with fans (at a club) a couple nights ago”
Photos were shared of “Louis with a fan” at the airport in Italy
Larry
The Academic began their day by backpedalling hastily from retweeting that Larry tweet, but their message sounded about as genuine as the “obviously” interview. At the very least, someone with access to their account is a larrie, so there :)
Fans noticed that the cast listing for “My Policeman”, as given by Google, currently includes Louis Tomlinson.

Louis
Videos were shared of how loudly the AFHF could be heard from outside the venue
The Mayor of Camaiore commended the Louies who helped clean the area after AFHF ❤️ (I’m so proud of you guys!!!)
Joshua shared more of his amazing photos from AFHF

Harry
Today, it’s exactly a month since Harry’s final show.
Lloyd teased a photo dump and later delivered 🔥
One of Lloyd’s photos was shared by HLD, but they gave the info that the pic is from HSLOT Warsaw. However, the photo in itself has no identifying content, so how do they know?? (HLD tweet)
HLD released a previously unseen photo of Harry from XFactor boot camp in 2010
HLD shared a photo of “Harry with fans in Brazil last year”, where he’s looking very happy being surrounded by kids
Harry was seen on a pap walk in the streets of London (seriously, is James Cordon his new PR stunt?? lol). A fan noted that it’s funny that Harry is only pictured in London now that we know Louis has left Italy 😎
Larry
The lube brand “astroglide”, who is quite well-known for serving the gay community, ran a 💙💚 lube ad. I’ve been assured it’s a Destiel/Supernatural reference, but since they didn’t specify that (and the SPN fandom isn’t exactly, ahem, active at the moment), it’s all a slippery slope, right? 😉

Harry
Looks like the girl who shared a video of Harry out in London yesterday, was likely strategically selected and placed (tweet)
More photos of “Harry with fans” yesterday in London
Louis
Louis(‘s team) posted a highlight video of AFHF to his Instagram
A rumour was spread on tumblr that Louis was seen out and about in London recently, sporting a new tattoo on his arm

Louis
LTHQ shared the fan-compilation video for “Written all over your face”. Remarkably, the video features a photo of the “Larry Hug” at exactly 1:32 😅
Harry
An older photo was shared of “Harry with a fan in London a few months ago”
Other
Liam has clarified that he's not currently collaborating with Louis and Niall

Louis
Fans noticed that there is an added moment in the AFHF-video, between the version shared by LTHQ and the version shared by HLD 👀 . The added moment is at the 0:28 mark…
The sign-up form on this page for 28 Official Programme, which may or may not be legitimate, has changed to include a field for clothing size.
Harry
Harry was seen out today in London, wearing a Minnie Mouse shirt and looking cute as a button
That’s it for this week! I hope all of the links work! See you all in Hamburg on Tuesday!! <3
