Noah Kahan’s ascent from “the folk singer from Vermont” to a global arena-filler has been nothing short of staggering. After dominating the airwaves and the charts with ‘Stick Season’, Kahan is doubling down on his new status with the announcement of The Great Divide World Tour, which sees him taking over the biggest rooms in the UK and Ireland this November.
The timing is perfect. His fourth studio album, The Great Divide, drops on 24th April, and the buzz is already hitting fever pitch. If the title track’s massive debut is anything to go by, we’re moving away from the intimate cabin vibes and into a sound designed to reach the back rows of the O2.
The UK and Ireland leg kicks off with a double-header at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 5th and 6th November, before heading south for two nights at Manchester’s AO Arena. The run culminates in massive back-to-back shows at London’s O2 Arena and Dublin’s 3Arena. Joining him for these dates is the rising star Bella Kay, whose own blend of raw songwriting makes her the perfect pairing for Kahan’s anthemic honesty.
This tour isn’t just about the music; it’s a victory lap for an artist who has become the voice of a generation’s collective anxiety and resilience. With his Netflix documentary Out of Body arriving on 13th April, fans are getting a total immersion into the world of Kahan before tickets even go on sale.
Tickets go on artist pre-sale on 15th April at 12pm, with the general public having their go on 17th April at 1pm. Given he’s already sold over a million tickets for his North American leg, you’ll want to be refreshing your browser the second they drop.
