Noah Kahan Books 31 Stadiums for 2027 'Last of the Bugs World Tour,' From Athens to Wembley
The Vermont singer-songwriter steps up from baseball stadiums to NFL and college football venues, with four Fenway Park nights and a three-night Wembley Stadium close.
On October 29, Noah Kahan revealed plans to headline 31 stadium shows spanning North America, Europe, and the U.K. in spring and summer 2027 — his largest tour to date — under the banner The Last of the Bugs World Tour. The tour kicks off April 24 at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia, and wraps July 25 at London's Wembley Stadium.
The announcement is a deliberate step up in venue size. Where Kahan's 2026 Great Divide World Tour filled baseball stadiums across the United States, the 2027 itinerary is built around NFL venues and major college football stadiums — Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, Ford Field in Detroit, and Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, alongside college venues including Sanford Stadium, Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, and Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma.
The title comes from The Great Divide: The Last of the Bugs, an expanded edition of Kahan's fourth studio album. According to Music Observer, "Bugs" is what his fan base calls itself. The opening date — April 24, 2027 — falls exactly one year after The Great Divide's original release date.
For Kahan, a Vermont native, the centerpiece of the North American leg is Boston. Four nights at Fenway Park — May 29, May 30, June 1, and June 2 — await him, building on a sold-out four-show run there in 2026 that, per the tour announcement, brought him induction into the Fenway Music Hall of Fame. From there, the North American leg, promoted by Live Nation, winds through Columbus, Detroit, Buffalo, and Montréal before wrapping up June 18 at MetLife Stadium.
The European and U.K. leg opens July 1 at Stadspark in Groningen, Netherlands, then moves to Berlin's Waldbühne (July 2), I-Days in Milan (July 4), Plaza de España in Seville (July 7), and Hippodrome ParisLongchamp in Paris (July 10). Those dates feed into previously announced stadium shows: Hampden Park in Glasgow (July 13), two nights at Dublin's Aviva Stadium (July 17–18), and three nights at Wembley Stadium (July 23–25).
Several of those U.K. and Ireland dates were announced in August and are already partially sold out. The first Dublin date and the first two Wembley nights are listed as sold out, according to Live for Live Music.

The scale of the 2027 plan is underscored by what the 2026 tour produced. According to the tour announcement via Grateful Web, The Great Divide World Tour moved more than 1.8 million tickets globally and gave Kahan the highest-ranked debut in Pollstar's LIVE75 chart history. His Rose Bowl headline appearance in Pasadena drew more than 56,000 fans, according to Ticket News.
For the industry, the routing carries a broader signal. As Music Observer noted, singer-songwriters in the acoustic, story-driven folk-pop space rarely take tours of this scale into venues that typically belong to pop and country headliners. The college-town stops — Athens, Norman, Austin, Madison, Columbus — suggest Kahan's audience is spread across markets that don't always appear on major stadium tours.
Kahan is using face-value resale controls for North American dates. North American tickets bought through Ticketmaster cannot be transferred and may only be resold at the price originally paid. New York state law prevents resale restrictions, so tickets there can be transferred, but Ticketmaster will keep resale prices at face value on its platform. Those who held tickets to the canceled July 18, 2026, Citi Field show will receive access to a dedicated presale window for the June 18 MetLife Stadium date.
Kahan's momentum extends beyond touring. Per the tour announcement, The Great Divide has shown up on Grammy Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year prediction lists at Billboard, Rolling Stone, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and HITS Daily Double. His Netflix documentary Noah Kahan: Out of Body has entered Letterboxd's Top 50 Documentaries list. According to Music Observer, his new song "Draw You Out" serves as the lead single from The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (The Album), with the soundtrack due November 13, a week before the film's November 20 release.
Before the 2027 stadium run begins, Kahan starts the sold-out U.K. and European leg of The Great Divide World Tour next week, after completing fully sold-out dates across North America, Australia, and New Zealand earlier in 2026.
Why it matters — A 2x Grammy-nominated folk-pop singer-songwriter filling 31 NFL and college football stadiums across two continents marks a rare crossover of the genre into venue sizes usually reserved for pop and country superstars.
