Kahan Heads to Wembley and Fenway

Noah Kahan announced a new stadium tour called The Last of the Bugs World Tour on Thursday morning. The dates span spring and summer 2027 across North America and Europe. Live Nation is promoting the show.

The North American leg begins April 24 at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia. It ends June 18 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The route includes 21 shows in the United States and one in Canada. Kahan will perform four consecutive nights at Fenway Park in Boston from May 29 to June 2. This repeats the record-setting four-night stand he played there last year.

Other North American stops include Detroit, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Montreal, Nashville, Tampa, Birmingham, Charlotte, Houston, Austin, Columbus, Madison, and Norman, Oklahoma. The European portion starts July 1 in Groningen, Netherlands. The tour visits Germany, Italy, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. Key venues include Waldbühne in Berlin, Plaza de España in Seville, and Hippodrome ParisLongchamp in Paris. The final dates are at Wembley Stadium in London and Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Three of the last six European shows were already announced before Thursday. The Dublin show on July 17 and both London shows on July 23 and 24 are sold out.

Presales for North American shows start at noon local time on November 10. Fans must register by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 5 to participate. The announcement stated that artist presales are hosted by multiple ticketing sites. Anyone who signs up can join the sale. For the Ticketmaster presale, no code is needed because access is tied to the user's account. Other presale sites may require a code.

The announcement noted that extra protections are in place to block bad actors from the artist presale. Some fans may be asked to complete a quick selfie check or provide an ID via Persona in rare cases. This is done in partnership with Ticketmaster.

Kahan recently completed the North American leg of his Great Divide World Tour in late August. His largest show of that run was at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, where he performed to 65,000 fans. He became the first artist to headline and sell out four straight nights at Fenway Park during that tour. He has continued touring since then, completing a run in Australia and New Zealand in September and October.

From November through the first half of December, Kahan will play arenas in the U.K., Germany, Denmark, France, Ireland, Switzerland, and Scotland. His fourth studio album, The Great Divide, is expected to receive Grammy consideration in the coming months. The new tour takes its name from the deluxe version of that album, which is subtitled The Last of the Bugs.
