Noah Kahan Announces First Stadium Tour for Summer 2026, Including Rose Bowl Stop

Noah Kahan will trade the melancholic "stick season" for sunnier skies this summer, embarking on his inaugural stadium tour. Dubbed "The Great Divide Tour," the Live Nation-produced trek spans 23 dates across North America, kicking off on June 11 at Orlando's Kia Center and concluding at Seattle's T-Mobile Park on August 30. The tour notably includes a special two-night hometown stand at Boston's historic Fenway Park on July 10 and 11, marking the only venue to host consecutive shows. Other major stadium stops include Chicago's iconic Wrigley Field on July 14, Queens' Citi Field on July 18, and the legendary Rose Bowl in Pasadena on August 15.

The tour supports Kahan's upcoming album, "The Great Divide," which is scheduled for release on April 24. The title track is already available as a single, and its music video premiered in an unconventional format—during a three-minute Mastercard commercial break on Grammy Awards Sunday. Opening for Kahan on all dates will be singer-songwriter Gigi Perez, an artist known for her intimate, folk-pop sound who has been gaining significant traction on streaming platforms.

In a significant move to combat inflated prices, Kahan will utilize Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange for this tour. This program makes tickets purchased on the platform non-transferable, allowing them to be resold only through Ticketmaster at their original face value. However, due to state laws prohibiting such restrictions, this policy will not apply to shows in Illinois, New York, and Colorado, where standard transfer rules remain. Industry analysts note that such artist-led initiatives are becoming more common as a response to fan frustration over predatory resale practices.

Access to tickets begins with an artist presale starting February 10 at noon local time. Fans must preregister using their Ticketmaster account by this Thursday to participate. The general public onsale will follow on February 12, also commencing at noon local. The full tour itinerary is as follows: June 11 in Orlando, FL; June 26 in Philadelphia, PA; June 28 in Toronto, ON; July 1 in Cincinnati, OH; July 3 in Pittsburgh, PA; July 10 & 11 in Boston, MA; July 14 in Chicago, IL; July 18 in Queens, NY; July 22 in Washington, DC; July 25 in Raleigh, NC; July 27 in Atlanta, GA; July 30 in Arlington, TX; August 2 in St. Louis, MO; August 5 in Minneapolis, MN; August 8 in Denver, CO; August 15 in Pasadena, CA; August 17 in San Diego, CA; August 19 in Phoenix, AZ; August 21 in San Francisco, CA; August 25 in Sandy, UT; August 28 in Vancouver, BC; and August 30 in Seattle, WA.
