Noah Kahan Tour 2026

Inside Noah Kahan

Noah Kahan is the American folk-pop singer-songwriter from rural Vermont whose Stick Season album cycle pulled the New England singer-songwriter tradition straight into the mainstream streaming era — a working synthesis of Mumford-and-Sons-era stomp-folk, the Lumineers, James Taylor, and the specific lyrical voice of a kid who grew up in Strafford, Vermont, and never stopped writing about it. The sound is acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, layered group-vocal choruses, and lyrics that read more like short fiction than pop topline: small towns, mental health, leaving and coming back, the people you grew up around, the weather as a character.

The voice is full-throated, slightly cracked, and built for a stadium singalong — when 'Stick Season', 'Northern Attitude', 'Dial Drunk', and 'Homesick' hit their chorus structures live, the crowd carries the second-half vocal on its own. The headline tour, anchored around Stick Season and its later We'll All Be Here Forever expansion, has scaled from theatre and amphitheatre dates straight into stadiums — Fenway Park multi-night runs, Wrigley Field, Madison Square Garden multi-nights, the major UK and European festival circuit.

This page is the working guide to who Noah Kahan is, what a Stick Season show actually looks like in practice, how the ticketing tends to behave at the stadium tier, and which cities — especially the New England markets that treat him as a regional figure — keep coming up on the routing.

About Noah Kahan

Noah Shai Kahan was born January 1, 1997, in Strafford, Vermont, a town of fewer than a thousand people in the Connecticut River Valley about 20 miles from Hanover, New Hampshire. The childhood and adolescence on that ground is the source material the project keeps coming back to — Strafford, the seasons, the people who left and the people who stayed, the specific geography of central Vermont, all of which the Stick Season lyrics name explicitly.

He started writing and posting acoustic demos to SoundCloud as a teenager, signed to Republic Records out of an open call before he was 20, and released his first major-label EP Hurt Somebody in 2018 followed by the full-length Busyhead in 2019 — competent, well-reviewed, broadly pop-leaning records that built a real but mid-tier touring audience. I Was / I Am followed in 2021, more confessional but still inside the contemporary-pop production frame.

The pivot was Stick Season in October 2022 — a fully acoustic, folk-instrument-heavy record produced with Gabe Simon, with the title track originally released as a TikTok-tested single that went viral in pieces over months. The song built a streaming groundswell that the album then turned into a top-three Billboard 200 debut and a UK top-three album debut, with 'Stick Season', 'Northern Attitude', 'Homesick', 'Halloween in Suburbia', 'Dial Drunk', and 'Stick Season (You're Gonna Go Far)' as the deepening single rotation.

We'll All Be Here Forever — the expanded edition released in mid-2023 — added 'Call Your Mom', 'Forever', 'No Complaints', and 'You're Gonna Go Far' to the working setlist and pushed the album back to number one on multiple international charts. The duet rotation that followed — Hozier, Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, Lizzy McAlpine, Brandi Carlile, Sam Fender, Gracie Abrams — turned 'Dial Drunk' and 'Stick Season' into genre-crossing radio hits and pulled an enormous incremental audience into the catalogue.

The headline tour scaled in the same window: theatre dates in 2022 to amphitheatre headline runs in 2023 to full stadium dates (Fenway Park multi-night runs, Wrigley Field, Madison Square Garden multi-nights) on the next routing. The Busyhead Project, his mental-health-focused nonprofit launched in 2022, runs alongside the project and has been a recurring per-show talking point on the live cycle.

He is signed to Republic Records, writes most of his own material, and the project now sits firmly inside the stadium tier of working folk-and-pop crossover artists.

Noah Kahan tour dates

Noah Kahan currently tours at the stadium and major-amphitheatre tier — the working pattern through the Stick Season / We'll All Be Here Forever cycle has been amphitheatre dates through the secondary US markets (Merriweather Post, Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Forest Hills Stadium, Red Rocks multi-night runs) and stadium routings through the marquee cities (Fenway Park in Boston with multi-night runs, Wrigley Field in Chicago, Madison Square Garden multi-night in New York, Gillette Stadium for the New England super-anchor, the Sphere or Hollywood Bowl in LA). The UK and European leg has anchored at Wembley Stadium and Hyde Park, with major festival slots (Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Boston Calling) sitting alongside the headline routing.

The live set runs roughly 100 to 130 minutes — about 20 to 24 songs depending on the night — with one or two support acts warming the venue. Staging is rustic and instrument-focused rather than spectacle-heavy: a full band including banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and pedal steel; a stage backdrop with the Stick Season visual world (rural Vermont, woods, the album-cover aesthetic); and an intimate stripped-acoustic mid-set sequence on a smaller forward platform.

Doors are typically 6 or 6:30 p.m., openers around 7 to 7:45, and Noah is on stage between 8:45 and 9:15 depending on the building's curfew. The live event listings above this block are the working calendar — filter by city or date to see which dates and onsales are active right now.

Noah Kahan tickets

Noah Kahan stadium and amphitheatre tickets follow a routing-specific split. Stadium dates (Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, Wembley, Gillette) carry a wider face-value spread: general admission floor or pit at the front of the stage, reserved lower-bowl seating, reserved upper-bowl, and the limited-view far-corner inventory.

Amphitheatre dates (Merriweather, SPAC, Forest Hills, Red Rocks) anchor on reserved-seat plus lawn GA, with the lawn the price-floor option and the front pit/orchestra rows the contested tier. Face value across the cycle has typically run from a rough US$45 to US$75 for the cheapest lawn or upper-bowl reserved up to US$200 to US$400 for premium lower-bowl/floor, with VIP packages bundling merch, early entry, premium seating, and pre-show experiences into the US$300 to US$1,000 band depending on tier.

Dynamic pricing through Ticketmaster Platinum can push lower-bowl pricing well past sticker for the highest-demand dates — Boston and the Fenway multi-night, New York, and Chicago run hottest. Onsale routes through Ticketmaster on the official artist presale (the 'Northern Attitude' presale on most legs), then a venue presale, then the public onsale.

Secondary inventory on StubHub, SeatGeek, and Vivid Seats is live within minutes of onsale. The Boston dates in particular have run at a meaningful premium on resale through every cycle.

Noah Kahan setlist

A Noah Kahan stadium or amphitheatre set runs roughly 100 to 130 minutes and follows a singer-songwriter arc rather than a pure pop-arena structure. The night typically opens with a faster banjo-and-stomp opener from the Stick Season / We'll All Be Here Forever material — 'Northern Attitude' or 'Dial Drunk' on most nights — that establishes the band and gets the crowd singing inside the first five minutes.

The first third runs through the singles rotation; 'Stick Season' itself usually appears in the front half rather than the encore, on the working theory that the song is too central to the cycle to hold for the curfew. Mid-set is a stripped-acoustic sequence on a smaller forward platform — typically two or three songs, often including a Busyhead-era deep cut, a cover (the Lumineers, the Avett Brothers, James Taylor, and Hozier territory have all featured on multiple nights), and one of the slower Stick Season cuts ('Strawberry Wine', 'Halloween in Suburbia', 'Orange Juice').

The duet partner, when one is touring with him, appears in this mid-set window — guest spots from Hozier, Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, and others have been the per-tour talking point. The back third builds through the louder full-band material to a closer that has rotated by leg — 'Homesick' has been the recurring closer on the US dates, with 'No Complaints' or 'You're Gonna Go Far' carrying the encore.

Encore is typically two songs. Exact running order shifts night to night; setlist.fm tracks each show after the fact, usually within hours of curfew.

Noah Kahan VIP packages and meet and greet

Noah Kahan VIP on the Stick Season / We'll All Be Here Forever cycle is sold through the official VIP partner rather than as standard Ticketmaster inventory, with package names rotating by leg — typically a top-tier 'We'll All Be Here Forever VIP' or 'Northern Attitude VIP' bundle that pairs premium reserved seating or pit access with early entry, an exclusive tour merch pack (a tour-only Stick Season lithograph, a tour tote, a signed print on the upper tiers), a pre-show acoustic Q&A session with Noah on select dates, and a portion of every VIP package directed to The Busyhead Project — the mental-health nonprofit Noah co-founded in 2022. A mid-tier package keeps the merch and the premium seat but drops the Q&A.

There is occasionally a traditional photo-with-artist meet-and-greet on the cycle, sold as the top VIP tier on a limited number of dates and almost always gone before the public onsale opens. VIP packages list in the rough range of US$300 to US$1,000 depending on tier and city.

Always buy through the official VIP link — third-party 'VIP' listings on secondary sites cannot deliver the Q&A, merch, or Busyhead-charity component and will not be honoured at the door.
