Benson Boone will be catapulting into an arena near you, or possibly close enough, in the late summer and early fall of 2025. He announced his first large-scale headlining tour Monday, with dates that run across North America from late August through early October.
His U.S. touring kicks off Aug. 22 in St. Paul, with the tour wrapping up Oct. 8 in Salt Lake City. Along the way, the upstart pop star will play such venues as New York’s Madison Square Garden (on Sept. 5), L.A.’s Crypto Arena (Sept. 30), Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena (Sept. 26), Boston’s TD Garden (Sept. 2), Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena (Sept. 9), and Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center (Sept. 3), among many other dates.

The first tickets go on sale Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time via an American Express presale. A special fan presale will follow on Thursday at the same time, and finally, the general on-sale will begin Friday morning, again at 10 a.m. local.
The 29 headlining shows unveiled Monday are on top of some festival dates Boone already announced. Those are mostly outside the U.S.,, but do include a handful of fests he had booked here, including BottleRock in California (on May 24) and the Governors Ball in New York (June 6).
Boone has obviously had quite a couple of high-profile warmup gigs, if you will, having gotten a lot of attention for his two livestreamed performances at Coachella last month, followed by being the music guest on “Saturday Night Live” this past weekend — where, yes, he did a backflip within the first five seconds of his performance.
Benson’s sophomore album “American Heart” comes out June 20. He has already released two singles from the project, “Sorry I’m Here for Somone Else” and “Mystical Magical.”
The initial run of success for Benson’s debut included a Grammy nomination for best new artist and the honor of having the most-streamed song in the world in 2024.
