Noah Kahan is Coming Back to North Texas This Year

This summer, North Texas will re-enter stick season when folk-indie artist Noah Kahan brings his latest tour to Globe Life Stadium on July 31. The Grammy-nominated artist is embarking on a 23-stop nationwide arena tour to accompany his next album, The Great Divide, dropping April 24. Indie artist Gigi Perez will accompany Kahan as the opening act for the entire tour. 

It’s his first return to North Texas since the Stick Season (We’ll All Be Here Forever) Tour sold out the Dos Equis Pavilion in June 2024.

Kahan’s career hit a meteoric rise in 2020 when he began teasing his hit single “Stick Season” on TikTok. By the time the song was fully released in 2022, the chorus was already viral, and soon other tracks from the Stick Season album circulated on the short-form video app with equal popularity. 

Since then, Kahan has maintained a likable reputation, accentuated by his determination to keep his music accessible. 

“If you know me, you know how much I love playing for y’all,” Kahan said in a video on the tour announcement page before reading off a pre-prepared statement about ticket pricing and resale.

Ticket prices and scalping remain ongoing issues in live music. Lots of musicians are under scrutiny for allowing ticket prices to soar into the hundreds and thousands within minutes of going on sale. 

“We’re working really hard to make sure these tickets get into the hands of fans and away from bots and scalpers,” he said in the video. “This is super important to me – and it actually is important to me, by the way.”

For this tour, tickets are non-transferable and only available for resale at face value on Ticketmaster. There will also be identification verification steps that will involve submitting a selfie or, in rare instances, a photograph of a government-issued ID. Tickets for the show go on pre-sale Feb. 10, with general sale beginning Feb. 12.  

“Nothing is perfect, but we’re doing what we can to help protect against scalpers and keep tickets in fans’ hands,” reads the tour website page. 

A portion of ticket sales will go to The Busyhead Project, Kahan’s mental health destigmatization initiative. The non-profit has raised nearly $2 million for organizations that provide mental health care.
