Noah Kahan Nails Down Summer Stadium Trek

Noah Kahan’s new single has already topped the Spotify U.S. chart within hours of its release, and the Vermont singer/songwriter is aiming for further new heights this summer with his first full stadium tour. Following the April 24 release of The Great Divide (Mercury), Kahan will hit the road beginning June 11 in Orlando, Fla., with support from Gigi Perez.

Produced by Aaron Dessner and Gabe Simon, the album’s title track got a further boost last night (Feb. 2) during the Grammy Awards, when its complete music video, directed by Parker Schmidt, aired as part of a Mastercard commercial on the broadcast. Kahan is teaming with the credit card company for various activations surrounding the tour, including VIP tickets and experiences. Click here for overall ticket details.

“From a long silence forms a divide, a great expanse demanding attention,” Kahan wrote on Instagram last week of the follow-up to 2022’s breakthrough album Stick Season. “I stare across it. I see old friends, my father, my mother, my siblings, my younger self, the great state of Vermont. I want to scream these feelings, to gesticulate wildly at the figures on the other side, but my voice has grown hoarse and muted after years of climbing a ladder towards the wild, spiraling dreams that have materialized in front of me.”

“Instead, I wrote them down next to a piano in Nashville, next to a pond in Guilford, Vermont, in a legendary studio in upstate New York, on a farm with a firetower in Only, Tennessee,” he continued. “The songs are the words I would say if I could. They are the fears I dance with in the moments before I drift off to sleep. The music here is my best attempt to delve deeper into the people, places and feelings that have made me who I am. I am grateful for all of it, for all of you, for listening to them, if you choose to do so.”
