Noah Kahan has hit the road in a big way. The folk-pop sensation launched his Great Divide Tour on Thursday, June 11, at the Kia Center in Orlando, treating fans to a setlist packed with hits, from “Hurt Somebody” to selections from his latest album. The trek marks a major step up in scale for Kahan. The 23-date tour is playing stadiums and ballparks across North America, from a two-night hometown stand at Boston’s Fenway Park to Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Toronto’s Rogers Stadium, and the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles.
The tour shares its name with the source material. It takes its title from Kahan’s fourth album, ‘The Great Divide,’ which topped the Billboard album chart while managing the best first-week sales for a rock release in more than a decade. Gigi Perez, known for her single “Sailor Song,” opened the Orlando show.
The opening night leaned heavily on the new record, with several songs getting their live debut, including “Downfall,” “Dashboard,” and “Orbiter.” Kahan rewarded longtime fans too, closing the main set with “New Perspective” before an encore that ended on the one-two of “Homesick” and his breakthrough smash “Stick Season.” There was even a little post-show signal that things might shift night to night. After the opener, Kahan took to Instagram to tell fans, “I hear you Orlando. See you tonight,” suggesting the setlist could get tweaks as the run rolls on.
After North America, the tour heads overseas through the fall, with arena dates across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe stretching into December.
