It definitely will not be stick season when Noah Kahan makes use of temperate summer climes for his first stadium tour this year. The “Great Divide Tour” will feature 23 dates in North American stadiums, beginning June 11 in Orlando and ending Aug. 30 in Seattle.
Key dates include a two-night hometown stand at Boston’s Fenway Park on July 10-11. the only venue to get two shows. As the coasts go, Kahan will be playing Citi Fields in Queens on July 18, and heading west to Pasadena’s Rose Bowl on Aug. 15. Other shows take place in stadiums like Chicago’s Wrigley Field, on July 14, and Washington, D.C.’s Nationals Park on July 22. (Scroll down for a full listing of shows.)
Gigi Perez will be Kahan’s opening act on the tour.
The Live Nation-produced tour is named after Kahan’s “The Great Divide,” which was recently announced as set for release on April 24, with a single of the same name already out. On the Grammy Awards Sunday night, Kahan premiered the music video for the title track via a three-minute-plus Mastercard commercial break.
Kahan will be using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange to for the tour as a way of keeping resale tickets from skyrocketing. When artists adopt this program, tickets purchased on Ticketmaster are non-transferable and can only be resold on Ticketmaster at face value. (The states where that won’t be the case are Illinois, New York and Colorado, since laws there prevent restrictions on the resale of tickets.)
An artist presale begins Feb. 10 at noon local time. Anyone wishing to get in on that must preregister by this Thursday, using their Ticketmaster account. (The sign-up link is here.) The general onsale will follow on Feb. 12, also starting at noon local time.
